Well the inevitable has happened, I decided to start a blog. Well I guess I should introduce myself to you the blog reader. My name is Erik, I am a sophomore in College trying to get my PhD in physics with a lovely Girlfriend named Hannah. I am an avid Colorado Avalanche fan and love almost anything that has to do with hockey or sports in general. Outside of my love of sports and science I also love to play video games, my french horn and watch Doctor Who in my spare time (what little there is in the life of a college student).
Sitting in my living room working on my calculus homework and listening to show tunes. something very curious came to my attention. The local news station ran a story on the city of Seattle being considered to become the American nomination to host the 2024 Olympic games.
As a long time resident of Seattle this is an extremely exciting proposition for my hometown to become the eyes of the world for several weeks. I can only imagine the excitement and the increased energy in my hometown. However, I can also imagine the amount of traffic that will be going through Seattle as well as how hard it will be to get from point A to point B.
Alas, my realism is setting in a bit, We are talking about Seattle here. A city more known for grunge rock and marijuana than being a cultural hub. A city like Seattle can't compare in culture to some of the cities that have hosted the Olympics in the past (Heck! even some of the cities that didn't get the games have more culture than Seattle). Seattle is very vanilla and I don't think in any way shape or form that they will get the greatest games in the history of the world. However, I would love to see what becomes of this situation and if the games do come to Seattle I will be right there cheering on my country.
Ok, NEXT TOPIC!!!!
The next thing I want to talk about is this meteor that hit Russia. As an avid fan of astronomy, this was one of the coolest things that has ever happened in my short pathetic life. not that people dieing and property being destroyed as cool but a meteor is pretty exciting. What I don't understand though is the people who are saying that this is a sign that the world is coming to an end. Come on, its a Meteor we get hit by one this size once every about ten years, and are pelted everyday with millions of meteors the world isn't ending so get over yourself.
OH I ALMOST FORGOT!!!
Happy 540th birthday to Nicholas Copernicus, for those of you who don't know who he is and were just staring at your goggle home page like a dear in the headlights. Copernicus was one of the first scientists to create a system for the solar system where the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way around.
Well that's all I have for today and for a first blog I think I am off to a great start. As I get the time and the money I hope to add posts on video game reviews. They will be few and far between but as the amount of people that read this blog increases the number of reviews will increase. Be warned though they wont be recent games I am thinking of doing Halo 4 or Skyrim later on this week. SO, if you are interested in hearing what I have to say about games that will occur on Thursdays or Fridays with blogs Mondays or Tuesdays.
So as the Doctor once said,
"All of time and space; everywhere and anywhere; every star that ever was. Where do you want to start?"
This is Erik, and that's my two cents
"Keep your stick on the ice"
