First post. Whoopee.

Yes, I realize I'm late to the blogging party, but since I fancy myself a writer in some form in the future, I figured it'd be good to finally come in and have a regular avenue for venting about my thoughts/activities/whatever. So I shall start off with a little info dump, for those who barely know me, and speed right to what's going on in the here and now.

Info dump: Name's Scott (obviously). 25 years old and I've spent them all in a sleepy little mid-size California city called Pleasanton. Journalism/film student at Diablo Valley College. Made black belt in 2000 (taekwon-do), Eagle Scout in '03, and my first batch of bananas foster back in May of this year. Used to be a newspaper courier, but got laid off in January '09 after two years on the job. Can be incredibly self-deprecating at times. Horrible luck with dating, though that may be changing. Drive stick, and so will my kids. Big fan of red wine, Hong Kong action movies, stop-motion animation, World War II airplanes, the Oakland Athletics, the San Jose Sharks, the TV show Leverage, Chelsea F.C., and Monty Python. There's more, but I don't want to bore you.

Here and now: Carrying 12 units this semester, looking to transfer to San Francisco State or Cal State Monterey Bay in 2012 and graduate by my 30th birthday in '15. Doing grunt work for my mother's indie law practice to earn a little dosh. Dating an amazing girl whom I am incredibly lucky to have in my life—her name's Roxanne, I'll tell you more later on. Trying to get a small film company off the ground—also a matter for future explanation. And despite everything I have to juggle, I have this deep-set confidence that it's all going to work out perfectly. Or close to it, anyways.

Well, that's it for this first post. Stay tuned—I might actually write something interesting in the near future.
