Introduction to AJcraft


Let me introduce myself to the internet a little before I spawn another blog onto the internet: I am about to turn 22, I'm a senior in college, I love gaming, internet humor (the oatmeal, cracked, adultswim, random stupid videos on YouTube), traveling, and my family and friends.
 
The purpose of this blog is for me to write about my thoughts, opinions, and updates in my life. I call it AJcraft for my love of Starcraft 2 and since I craft the blog. The blog will have some basic things like my breakdown of the week or day, an image I found, and a random thought. I might add more, but I think this will be the core of the blog for now. I'll also be trying to plug in the charity event that I'll be doing this summer. Speaking of which...

I am going to be riding my bike across America next summer for people with disabilities. My fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, specifically Push America, has an annual charity event called journey of hope where fraternity brothers ride across the states spreading awareness and fund raising for people with disabilities. My goal is to raise 7,000$, I need at least 5,500 to participate in the event. You can donate and view my horrible profile picture here:

11/22/11, Monday:
Synopsis of my week:
The dreaded week is finally here. The week where I have to get three final projects done in about one weeks time. I have to admit that I am procrastinating by writing this blog, but hey at least it's somewhat productive since I finally created something instead of mindlessly scrolling through Lolcats. The entire week I'll be at my parents place trying to force myself to do my school work instead of, well, blogging and surfing the internet. So more than likely I'll be posting to this and make myself cram the work until the end of the week.

Image of the day:
I got photoshop today so I did what any other internet user would do. Put a good friend next to Hitler.

Random thought of the day:
Dragons are awesome, my mother and I have always loved dragons. Ever since I started to play Skyrim like a fiend I've been thinking more and more about dragons. Specifically, what kind of dragon I would want and how they would function in our society if they existed. Ever watch that movie How to Train Your Dragon? I stumbled my old roommate watching it I couldn't help but join him. Great movie, but what I think made the movie for me was it showed how dragons should act in real life rather than some of the other theories on dragons. For instance, in the movie dragons are depicted as wild reptiles that can be tamed and since they're wild beasts there's none of that telepathically linking up with humans bullshit. Also the fact that they come in many different sizes and races could conceivably make sense, almost like a Galápagos island of dragons. 

 awsum.

However, if we did live in a world with dragons it would be pretty terrifying since they're giant flying fire breathing lizards who would eat us. So I guess there are downsides, but I would risk living in a world full of dragons if it meant there was a possibility of taming them. Think of the possibilities! No more dealing with traffic since you can now fly which means no more going to the airport or dealing with TSA. Just the fact that you would have a 30 foot lizard to play with is pretty amazing as well. And yes lizards can be tamed checkout this dude who is best friends with a crocodile. So if you ask me it's totally worth the risk.
