Introductions

Introductions online are never easy. I've spent almost my entire life coming online and introducing myself saying "Hey all" or just trying to blend in on the conversation. However, this time there is no conversation to blend into, so i'll have to give it my best shot.

So a little bit about me? Well I'm 16, male, extremely atheist (sometimes to the point of insanity) and i try to lessen the burden of life on others by offering myself as a shoulder to cry on, an advice giver and i try to be as much of a laugh as possible.

I'm a football fanatic (come on Manchester United :D), a games console addict and i am into just about any type of music you could think of. All of these factors have helped to turn me into the person i am today, and i LIKE to think that it's not been all that bad.

"What has possessed you to write a blog?" i hear you scream, and my simple answer is this. Boredom. I'm hoping that by writing a blog, it'l help to fill in the empty spaces between football, xbox, sleep and school. I'm also not much of a writer, so I'm hoping that doing this will help to improve my writing skills somewhat.

As i previously mentioned, I'm a bit of a video game addict. I blame my dad, who first got my hooked when i was about three, and I've been playing online games since i was about 5 (gotta love a bit of quake and half life :D) and with this in mind, I have started up a small video...production company if you will. We specialize in machinima, and have released a few comedic videos in the past, with many more in production. www.richchief.com if you want to check it out :)

So something more about me? I was a normal, happy kid when i was young, until about 6 years ago when my dad did his back in, got really ill and life became hell. We stopped going out, doing anything, my entire family got really depressed, and i turned to eating as my best friends all abandoned me in my time of need. Since then, i have struggled with my weight, but over the last few months, i've begun to fight back and am now losing weight pretty fast, which just increases my happy mood.

I always try to have a positive outlook on life, and try to help my friends to have this great feeling aswell. I'm always trying to crack jokes and do stuff, no matter how stupid, to put a smile on my friends faces (videos on youtube will testify to this).

I'm starting now to feel like I may have written too much, but you know, so what. That's usually my philosophy on life. So what. Life gets you down? So what. It's served me well over the years, and i hope it will continue to do so.

Throughout my entire life, I've had many friends and best friends, most of whom turn out to be utter twats, and for that reason, I've never really felt like i can trust anyone of late, but I finally feel like i have a good group of friends that I really can rely on and who will be there for me when I am in my hour of need.

Right, now i really do feel like I may have gone on a bit too long. I'm going to try and make a new post every day, but knowing me i'll forget and this will lie in ruins. Best way to keep me writing? Subscriptions :) which i know sounds like a droll advertisement, but it's true.

Thanks for reading and i hope you come again :)
