A little about me:

I am your average 20-something college graduate. I went to school for chemistry and am currently using that education to make ends meet. It’s not the most glamourous of jobs but, in this economy I feel lucky enough to have one. I also work as a projectionist for the local movie theater. I’ve been working there for over 10 years now and it has become more of a hobby than a job.

I’ve always liked writing, or at least the idea of it. I never really had much time to dedicate to it therefore nothing ever materialized from it. I hope that this blog will enable me to improve my writing, learn more about the world around me as well as develop into a new hobby.

I’m an avid mountain biker (mostly small hills) but, I really enjoy getting out into the forest on my bike. It’s a nice way for me to relax my mind after a long day in the lab. I have also taught myself how to play guitar and have been playing for 7 years. Other than this I try my best to keep up on current events, read books and play video games like any normal person. I have my friends and family and they are the backbone in my life.

At the present time in my life I am fairly satisfied with how things have been progressing. Pieces have started to fall into place and I am excited to see what the future will bring me.

A little about the blog:

TheEventOf… was created on June 7th 2010 as InTheEventOf.blogspot.com which soon became TheEventOf.com hosted by Google and driven by the Blogger platform. It started mostly as a challenge to see if I could accomplish getting my thoughts and ideas, not only into writing but, more importantly, out to the world. On June 14th I introduced the InTheEventOf… series which takes an event and describes either idea’s to get out of the situation or what I would do given the situation. The series started with each post beginning with “InTheEventOf… [random event]” I have since shorted these posts to just simply “…[random event]” for the sake of not being overly repetitive.

On October 4th 2010 TheEventOf underwent a major facelift as I started to reach the limitations of the Blogger platform and truly wanted to move to WordPress. I transferred the hosting of my site to FatCow hosting and transferred the blog over to the WordPress platform. While the two days that it took for everything to iron out were stressful and a great deal of work I am extremely glad I went through with the move.

On February 2nd 2011 I declared that TheEventOf… is a Movie Blog. This was the start of TheEventOf becoming a more marketable brand and a less amateurish and sporadically updated personal blog. Although the frequency of posts did fall, the quality (I think) has risen. Hopefully, in time, I will get back up to 2-3 posts a week and am extremely excited with the new series The Missing Reel which was introduced on March 25th 2011.

Overtime TheEventOf… will continue to evolve and grow to suite the needs of its readers. Feel free to leave comments in any of the posts you read or head over to the contact me page and send me an email directly. Thank you for stopping by!
