O hai!

–Edit– I’m not sure why….but this post has an ’09 timestamp. It’s a tarp I say…but I swear it was done 02/14/10…just sayin’ — Edit –

Hello to all of you out there in the interwebs. This is my first serious attempt at a blog, or any other somewhat published writing. For a brief little overview of who I am and what I’m about, you need only read a bit further, so you can decide if I have anything interesting you might want to hear.

My name is Stephen Ringer, and I am a current student at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. I’m enrolled in the Game Development Bachelor’s degree. This is something I have dreamed about doing for a long time; you can hear first hand from my admitions officer here at Full Sail who talked to me when I was maybe 14. Hearing this, you can probably imagine how much the Game Industry has affected me and still affects me to this day, like any form of media or entertainment does for almost anyone else. Growing up, before I had the magic that was the Gameboy Color and Pokemon Red, I had many other passions in life, all pertaining to the Entertainment Industry. Some include drawing, piano and drums – which I played religiously for at least eight years – as well as fantasy and the occasional sci-fi novel.

Being a Pisces, I guess you could say the planets have affected me in their own way – giving me the labels of A.D.D., dreamer, emo – pretty much anything unpopular but still somehow tied to the majority of the entertainment industry. I’ve sad how I never really got into writing, but I never said I didn’t enjoy it. Writing has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, if not a very experienced one.

Now that I’m rambling…as usual…I’ll shorten it up a bit. As a person, I pride myself in my abstract sense of humor. If something is funny to someone without being too offensive or simply too stupid for my attention span to handle, I’ll probably enjoy it just as much – if not more than – anyone else out there. A favorite of mine being the awkwar – Ricky Gervais is a genius.

Something else I might rant a bit on here is technology. I like tech. Any new advancement in technology – more specifically computers, cell phones, or internet – is an immediate attention stealer for me. I can’t help it and I don’t know why.

Anything else you want to know, comment or social network me up. I’m pretty much on the interwebs 24/7
