So as most of you know, I'm a very avid geek. Although I am a little young for the original Star Trek series, I was a huge fan of Next Generation and have seen most if not all of the Star Trek movies. Well, as of last night anyway.
It was a very J.J. Abrams movie. Lots of intense fight scenes, interesting camera angles, and very visually stimulating. The movie focused on the "beginning" of the Enterprise and it's crew's initial introductions to one another. True Star Trek geeks could potentially have some issue with it but honestly I think it fit perfectly within the realm of Star Trek possibilities. I definitely recommend checking it out!
I'm really excited about all the movies coming up this summer and I'll try to post a review after each I get to see (which will probably be quite a few).

Getting Started
So I've been a fairly avid blogger for the past few years on MySpace. Recently, however, the formatting started screwing up so I haven't posted anything in a few months. There's been a lot of stuff going on so I'll just give a quick rundown of 2009 thus far.
Started the year at Camron's Clubhouse hosting a Toga Party with our buddies Airiel Down from Raleigh. Had a great night, got obliterated, rocked out. Good times.
I went to DC with my buddy, Drew, to see my first Metallica concert. It was everything I had every expected! They are truly rock gods. The crowd was very disappointing though. The place was packed but they all seemed dead on their feet. I know Metallica draws a lot more "mainstream" fans than in the past but is it so much to ask for a little headbanging and moshing? I think not!
Not long after that I also went to see Slipknot for the first time. These guys were like watching Cirque de Solieil... IN HELL! They were truly one of the craziest performances I've ever seen. A must see in my book.
That's the fun/work stuff. Now for the not-so-fun...
My grandfather passed away earlier this year. It's never a good thing to lose family but I was never very close with him so it wasn't as painful as some deaths I've been thru.
Also, about 2 weeks ago a 9 month relationship I've been in came to an end. Things had been growing more and more distant between us for a little while and it just finally reached a breaking point. I won't speak badly of her, because I still think she's a great person. I'm not sure if it was timing or personalities or what but sometimes it's just not meant to be.
Well, there's been plenty more to talk about but that's the biggest stuff I can think of off top of my head. I'll try and post something on a weekly basis. Maybe more often at times, maybe less. We'll just have to see what happens.
