Am I A Bandwagon Fan?

So there's some people that call me a bandwagon fan, and I'm frankly tired of it. I don't think I am in the slightest and I'll give you some reasons why. The Colts have always been a love of mine, ever since I was 6 years old. Some reasons why:

1. When you're a kid, you probably adore your grandparents, and want to be just like them. At least I did. My grandfather was a loyal follower of the Colts, and watched almost every single one of their games that they had ever televised. I wanted to be just like him, so I started liking the Colts.

2. My favorite color is and always has been blue. Ever since I had an understanding of what color was, it has been blue. And from then on, I always thought it was a nice bonus for me since I already was starting to like the Colts because of my grandpa.

3. Now keep in mind, this was back when I was around 6 years old, so I already liked the Colts. I will admit, I didn't watch many of their games, maybe only 8 or 9 a year, but I thought it was cool. And then Peyton Manning came along. That is another reason I am a fan of the Colts team. Peyton Manning. At that point, I would have been 7 years old, and for some reason I took an immediate liking to him. Maybe it was because he was the leader, and he was in the driver's seat when the offense took the field. Either way, I liked him, and it made me like the colts even more.

4. Now, by the time I was 12, I started watching every game they played. I was touched when they lost against the Steelers in that crucial playoff game. I got upset with Vanderjagt when he missed those kicks that would have sealed our victory. Now, at this point, I am 16 years old. That means I have watched all of the Colts' games in the past 4 years. Is it too early to call myself a true fan? People say because I didn't follow football religiously when I was younger, I'm not a true fan. I didn't watch all of their games back then, and I'll be the first to admit it. But does that give people the right to call me a bandwagon fan?

You guys can decide. Drop me a comment with some serious thought, telling me what kind of fan you think I am. Until next time, peace out.

Weight Lifting and Chillaxing.

So today I decided to weight lift, and turns out my max increased from 190 to 220. I'm not the strongest guy, but I can curl 35 pounds 15 times, sometimes 20. I haven't tried squats yet, but that's on the agenda. To relax, what do I do? Well, I have it pretty good I would say. My friend had a projector that I bought from him for 250 dollars. I rearranged my room, which is quite big, so I could put the biggest possible screen up to watch movies on. Besides that, I have a surrond sound stereo hooked up to the whole thing, so the experience is pretty much like being in a movie theater. I must say, it is quite awesome. Other than that, I listen to my newfound favorite band at the moment, Escape the Fate. I know what you're saying, a brother listening to borderline screamo music. But it is pretty good, and I like it. Mostly I listen to Lil Wayne, but they get some play on my computer every now and then. Well, I know this wasn't a stunning journalism piece, but I promise the next post will be more detailed and fun to read. Until then, peace out.

Welcome

So I saw a post about blogs on my favorite internet hotspot, Sportshouse, and I thought, what the heck. So here I am. This blog will consist of just about anything that crosses my very convoluted mind. Check back often for updates on video games, sports, life, girls, etcetera. It should be an exciting ride, and I'm glad to have you guys riding shotgun.
