The War on Terraria

Recently, I was looking at my friends list on Steam when I noticed not one, not two, but four of my friends playing Terraria--a side-scroller video game, borrowing many elements from other great games such as Minecraft, Metroid, Zelda, and Castlevania. Well if four of my friends shelled out ten bucks for this game, it must be good, right? Well somewhere between 10-20 hours later, I'm still hooked on trying to find more lava pits for obsidian, and shadow orbs to awaken the "Eater of Worlds". It's good when you're playing single-player, but great when you grab some friends. I highly recommend this game for anyone. The concepts are relatively simple, so you don't have to be a "hardcore" gamer to get into it. Don't worry whether or not your computer can handle the 16-bit graphics, unless you're rocking a Tandy.

Back in the swing of things.

I recently had the itch to pick up golfing again thanks to Mr. Graham, a.k.a. my dad, who had me make a tee time for a round at Jimmy Clay golf course. Jimmy Clay is the nearest course to my house, and I had yet to play it. I prepared by going to the driving range and hitting the local nine hole course.

I really got into golfing about a year ago, but my interest had faded during the colder months. Luckily for me, I have a lot of natural talent when it comes to golfing, so getting the rhythm back doesn't take many rounds of golf or trips to the driving range.

I also wanted to thank Mark, my stepfather, for supporting me in the game as well. He's done a lot for my game and my golf bag.

Today I hit some good shots, and more bad ones, at Hancock municipal nine hole. Ended up with a 52 on a par 35. For my fifth round of the year, I'll take it. Keep them coming.

Hey, look Ma! A blog!

And so it has begun. With a few keystrokes and some inspiration, my own personal blog was born.

My name is Andy Graham, and I've been looking for an outlet for some of the things on my mind. I write for a living as a freelance commercial writer/copywriter. Most of the writing I do is business related, this will not be the case here. I hope this can serve as a medium for the more personal and creative writing side of mine. Stories, happenings, and life.

Life happens often, hopefully these blog posts will too.
