I AM MAKING A PROMISEJune 9, 2013 by

So... I've been gone for quite some time now. My apologies to all of you and I will make it up to you by always posting a blog even if it's small. Yes, most of you may think I'm lying because I've made this promise in the past but I am here to prove you all wrong starting................. Wait for it........still waiting................. la la la la ........... getting tired of waiting yet? ..... NOW!
Yes folks. I'm back and here to stay. I don't know why I stopped blogging to be honest. I always enjoy hearing from new people and making new friends near or far! I'll get you all caught up to date with my life because let me tell you, it's been a quite the roller coaster for me.

I'm going to start off by saying... Love is the possibly the most craziest thing for a human being to go through. I'm not trying to be one of those people who search for sympathy or praise through others, I am merely getting you all caught up on my life and well.. Love is a part of this story. I'm not going into details but it for those of you who haven't experienced it yet, I will tell you this. It's going to make you do things you never thought you would do. When you care for someone you do whatever it takes and the other will do the same for you. I'm happy with where I am right now and I know for a fact him and I will be okay but honestly. We can look back at situations and smile knowing we made it through and I wish to all of you that you find happiness with another too because we all deserve to be happy!

Enough sappy stuff onto the crazy parts of my life. I'm not sure if I mentioned in earlier posts but I applied for school and I was accepted for journalism! So I'm pretty excited for that but at the same time I have been debating whether or not I want to even be a journalist for the gaming industry. I know being in the industry for writing purposes means you need to stay neutral. However, all I see is people being so negative towards the system. In my opinion I'm not PS4 or Xbox One because I haven't witnessed or had a hands-on experience to have a say. With Sony's press conference showing off the PS4 and talking about the systems capabilities as well as showing off their games wasn't exactly a smart move. Yes, they showed their controller but this was supposed to be a system reveal and with E3 next week what could they possibly show off? They only have their system left to reveal and they may have a few unknown games left. It leaves me less excited for their press conference at E3. Now, Microsoft went a different route. They showed the system, talked about their online experience, the TV portion and their Kinect features. Yes, their online policies is creating a bit of an uproar from gamers but their trying something new. Also, I can understand the used games polices also. I just think it's about the developers losing money and wanting to get a bit more back from consumers. Microsoft did show off Call of Duty yes, but it is one of Xbox's popular games. Now for E3 they have the entire conference to talk about upcoming games and show off those.. which is what E3 is about... right? I guess that's just my opinion on the matter and it may make some of you out there angry and try to go against my word. Go ahead, I want feed back and your opinions too! It's always good to have a good debate/discussion with fellow gamers!

I am extremely excited for E3 and I hope to go there one day as I'm sure all of you do too! Moving on, I just finished Game of Thrones Season 3 and I must say I'm satisfied with the end of it. I am not going to spoil anything but once the credits started I had a smile on my face rather then a wide eyed, mind-blown, frustrated, insane reaction. For once I was happy.

Now.. the bad parts of my life that have happened. My dog who was/is like my sister passed away April 25th, 2013. She was my world and will always remain in my heart. The spooky part of it all those was when my mom found our papers for when we adopted her... the date was April 25th, 1999. We had her for exactly 14 years. Best family pet I've ever had I must say and I love her dearly. Second worst thing to happen to me.. I was in a car accident on Monday.. My brakes stopped working and I smashed right under an SUV. My car is completely totaled. Luckily no one was hurt and the woman I accidentally hit has just a small dent in her bumper. The front of the car is destroy and the police officer said if I was going a bit faster I would have died instantly from the impact. So I had that scare for a while and not having a car makes me feel stranded. Realizing that I almost died made me realize I need to actually enjoy life rather than keep worrying about my future so much. I'll figure it out along the way and just enjoy what I have now.

I also bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf.... I need friends to play with so if ANYONE wants to join me.... comment and send your .. friend code? I think that's what it is.. I haven't used a DS since Animal Crossing Wild World! Wow it's been a long time.
Regardless, I'm glad to have you all caught up and please share what you've been up too! I enjoy learning new things and hearing people's stories!

Love, Shailynn
