First Post

Hello and welcome everyone to "Blog of Holding." This I suppose is my first debut in the blogosphere and like others I'm sure, I'm a bit confused as to where to take this blog. Actually that isn't quite true. I do know where this blog Will Not Go; It will not become a diary of my daily activities and feelings no matter how mundane (That juicy information I save for my friends, family, and loved ones). This blog will not be the site of an ongoing political, religious, or other type of rant. While some of these topics will come up they will only do so if I actually have something I feel worth saying. The same goes for my daily activities; if there is something that I feel warrants attention I will mention it.

Now I think anyone who is reading this will actually like to know what my vague ideas are for this blog. Well, as you might have gathered from the play on words for the title, I am interested in Science Fiction and Fantasy (Movies, music, literature, gaming, etc.). I do know that my content will lean in those directions. You can expect anything from movie and game reviews, to tips or information I pick up in my writing. One definite plan I do have however involves a game I have been wanting to get hold of: Minecraft. For those of you who know what that game is, nothing need be said. But for those who have heard of this game for the first time I advise you to check out the game's official website http://www.minecraft.net/ Now I know the graphics might put some off...but watch the video and then decide.Such content I intend to write on Minecraft will be handled on another blog.

That being said I also am an aspiring writer. I have mostly been laying the foundations for short stories and (in the future) actual books, but I have written (not published) a few pieces already. As for what I 'do' the answer is finishing school. I am a graduating Senior at UC Berkeley in the field of History. On campus I am part of the Science-Fiction and Fantasy Writer's Workshop which is where I feel most at home in terms of work and interests.

I guess that about wraps it up. I hope to gain readers and I also hope not to let those readers down by writing drivel. Again, welcome to the "Blog of Holding" And I look forward to posting here and talking with anyone who wishes!
