Introductions.

After a more than a week's hiatus, I have returned to the fold! College keeps you busy and all that.

Now, it's been a good number of posts for me not to have introduced myself to any would-be readers. My name is Josh. Hi. I like to follow my name with a period when professionalism doesn't matter, it's my bit of character that I like to add to my signature. I'm 20 years old and a student at Michigan State, and you can get most of this from my profile page, but by all means keep reading. I am avidly into video games and books, and nearly as avidly into anime and manga. The Elder Scrolls series by Bethesda is like a breath of fresh air after a long day of classes or whatever else life has decided to throw at me. The worlds that they manage to create time and time again are such a total experience that I can let it suck me in and just be my character. Similarly, the Forgotten Realms' greatest legend, the epic tale of Drizzt Do'Urden as told by the genius author R.A Salvatore offers me a complete seclusion from the world around me. They are my beloved escapes. Anime and manga are more of an entertainment hobby interest. From the insane battle sequences of Tite Kubo's Bleach to the heart-wrenching tales of Daisuke Moriyama's Chrono Crusade or Key's Clannad, there is an entire world of stories to be told from our creative friends in Japan, and I can get lost in them as easily as any video game. As for music, nearly anything will do, but I'd much rather it is not Country or Rap. Post-grunge is my happy-place, and rock is my comfort zone, but I love a good round of Gaga from time to time as well.

If you're paying attention, I haven't mentioned school since I stated that I am attending MSU, well that would be because I severely dislike anything that includes class. I have been bored in school my whole life, and the added difficulty of college did little to change that fact. School talk done.

I will happily admit that I am a die-hard fan of NASCAR. There is just no other sport that can compare with 43 teams competing every week for 4 hours of mind-bending concentration and steeled-nerves. On that same note, however, I enjoy watching football and have loved "soccer" since I played it as a child (I put "soccer" in quotation marks as it is a silly term, and not its true name: yes, I am one of "those people").

That is really all there is to tell, as of yet. Should questions exist, by all means feel free to comment, and I'll answer what I can. This is, once again, assuming that there is actually a miniscule fraction of the world out there that cares to take the time to read my silly meanderings.
