People Who I Would Like to have a Drink With Part 1


This is a list I have in my head, part of a list, of people who I would say I admire and respect for the various things they have done and their influence on me as a person.  I wouldn't say that I idolize them but I do respect them, and in most cases I don't think I would want an autograph even though that would be cool but I would just like a chance to maybe talk with one of them for a bit over a drink if we could just to say....I don't know what I would say maybe thank you to a few of them, but really it is fun thinking about what it would be like if the opportunity ever came up.  For now here are a few of the people on this list in no particular order and a smallish reason why I would very much like to have a drink with them.

Neil DeGrasse TysonI found Dr. Tyson randomly on the History Channel talking about what black holes are and what they would do to humans and the planet, and then later on found a bunch of videos on YouTube of him just lecturing and doing Q&As. All of them are awesome to watch, my favorite is a video called "greatest sermon ever" very inspiring for me give it a watch, it is fantastic to just listen to.  I think Tyson's passion for all things science and space exploration is very real and can't be contained but also goes beyond those two basic things, given the fact that he is very articulate and has a wealth of knowledge it’s hard to pretend to even act bored when he is speaking.  When I found his videos online it helped me through some difficult unsure times.  I would love the chance to talk to the man who has helped me understand the world a lot more then I have thought possible on a scale that sometimes sends me into a bit of a panic. It would be interesting just to hear his thoughts on things that are out there in the world or better yet the misalliance things that maybe go unnoticed.

Movies of 2015! All the crazy that will happen!

I like going to the movie theaters. I love it!

I like the smell of the popcorn, I love seeing the trailers of new movies coming out, or on occasion ripping ones that look stupid, it can't be helped sometimes you have to do it.

But seeing the movie I paid to see is the real treat, especially if it's a move I have been wanting and waiting to see, it's always a fun time.  It's great to see a movie with an audience everyone reacting the same, whether it's with laughter, or cheers, or screams, or in tense scenes where everyone is holding their breath.  No matter what you can't really duplicate that feeling at home, no matter how big your TV is those reactions aren't there.  I remember the fun it was to see Marvel's Avengers in a sold out theater and how everyone last their shit during the last battle and how Hulk just whooped Loki.  Still thinking about it makes me smile, and oh look at all the movies coming out this year that I hope make me smile like that again.

2015 is the year I will Blog more

Hello everyone! No the above title is not a New Year's resolution, I have never really done things like that, but I am hoping that this year will be better then the last one and to do that I will make it happen. And I will start by going on here more and writing a post hopefully more then twice a year, I'll shoot for at least once a month and try to make it more then that.

If anyone reads this thinking that this blog will be just a blog about game design well I might change that.  Form this day forth I think it will be a blog about....me.  I am a nerd who is into game design and currently working on a board game at the moment, I like art, doing my own art (it kind of sucks), writing fiction, playing games, movies, science fiction, fantasy, and the list goes on and on.  So from here on in this blog will be about whatever the hell is on my mind and that just sounds dandy to me.

Cheers to 2015 being something other then....
