First

Well, hello everyone. Welcome to my blog. For those of you who somehow managed to look past the date/time stamp, or just can't read numbers, it's about three in the morning on the sixteenth day of December. This is my first blog post.

It's all rather exciting. I decided it may be fun to make use of my informal writing skills via Internet, as well as connecting you with enticing or amusing websites, links, tools, or whatever I may decide to share with you. In fact, it will become one of my New Years' resolutions to update this blog every day.

Luckily, another of my resolutions is to update this blog weekly. And yet another is to update it biweekly. Hopefully, I won't let myself down.

For those of you who don't know much about me, or who happen to somehow run across my blog sometime between now and whenever I become too lazy to update it (hopefully in 2011 at least), I've prepared a bit of an introduction.

My name is David Cable, just as the URL suggests. My middle name is Michael, hence the M. I was born in Kansas City in 1991. I attend Park University as a Business Administration major, my Social Security number is nine digits long, and I have two dogs: Buddy and Missy. The former is pretty rad, the latter is a bitch.

Anyway. I enjoy the concept, creation, and consumption of food. I also like to listen to and play a plethora of music. At the top of my Most Played on iTunes right now are the following:

1. The Family Force 5 Christmas Pageant - Family Force 5
2. Picture Perfect - Every Avenue
3. Bo Burnham - Bo Burnham
4. Ocean Eyes - Owl City
5. It's Classy Not Classic - Breathe Carolina

Roughly, this translates as such:

1. Awesome techno recreation of classic Christmas songs
2. Alternative, upbeat pop rock
3. Absolutely HYSTERICAL musical comedy [Please, for the love of God, check him out here]
4. If you haven't yet heard of Owl City, I have no words. People who haven't listened to Owl City still know what it sounds like.
5. Pretty rad techno/screamo mix.

I'm slowly becoming more and more attached to My Life is Average [MLIA]. I try to play my Xbox 360 as much as possible, but working at the Barnes&Noble Café, coupled with schoolwork and spending time with my girlfriend whenever possible keeps this at a minimum. I'm holding out for Christmas, hoping for a couple of sweet new games: namely, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed II. I also enjoy long walks at the beach, stargazing, and using pointless clichés.

Like my taste in music, my taste in television and film is quite eclectic*. It'll all come up from time to time.

Well, I don't have much else to say. I feel like this was a pretty good intro. Stay tuned, it'll be a blast. I promise.

Truly,

David Cable

P.S. I think this may be fun: "Words of the Day" are always fun to look at. Also, as a nerd, I like etymology.

*eclectic: adj. composed of elements drawn from various sources.
