Blog Review Post Reviewing Blogging....Fun!

The end of the school year is finally here and let me just tell you all that I could anticipate the 6th of June anymore than I do right now. Except that one thing has been brought to my attention. This blog was created as a homework assignment for my English class, but, I find myself admitting the fact that I quite enjoy blogging and don't want to see my blog go.

At first I was a bit skeptical when I was told that I would have to create a blog for my English class, being forced to write post after post to turn in for credit, but the truth of the matter is, is that it felt good to get my thoughts and points written down on paper for people to read. I felt like someone out there was listening to what I had to say on the trivial things of life and that made me feel as though my blog has some importance.

When I first started writing Reviews, Rants, and Everything In-between it was a bit strange to know that I had the freedom to take this blog anywhere I wanted to with it. I had the potential to write about anything that I liked and I think that I chose a broad enough variety to keep myself and you entertained. What, with my rants, reviews and random thoughts on things of little importance.

As time passed, though, I started to see a flow and pattern to my writing and it all started to seem easier to post and rant to you. When I saw that I was growing an audience from all around the world I was so surprised and happy that I even wrote a whole post just saying thank you to everyone who had ever looked at my blog.

This blog has become more than an assignment for my English class, it has become apart of me; an outlet for my feelings and opinions to be shared with people who may agree or disagree with me.

I am so happy that I got a chance to actually create something like this and I would have never done it without the help of my English teacher, Mr. Parker, so he deserves his own thank you for just making me create a blog in the first place.

If I had the choice to never have done this blog, or do it all over again, I would definitely take the latter. Again, thank you all so much, it means so much to have your support and willingness to read these posts.

I hope I can continue to add to this blog in the future....And If I may add, if you are looking for some interesting blogs to check out, I recommend the links below.

Mario Review

This may seem strange that I have decided to write this blog post about one of the most famous video game characters, but I found myself thinking of all the ways that Mario has been redone and remade.

Through out the years we have gone from the first ever Mario, all the way up to Super Mario Galaxy where we find our lovable little Italian where Mario literally travels the final frontier of space, with a few additions and improvements from the creators of the game

Mario was originally made by the Japanese creator Shigeru Miyamoto for the Nintendo and was soon decided to serve as the mascot of Nintendo itself.

Mario games are considered by most as the most popular game series ever created and the franchise has sold over 210 million units. Although Mario was originally designed for the Super Mario series, he was appeared in many other games from the famous Mario Kart all the way to the fun and easy going RPG, Paper Mario.

The main plot theme of the original game of Super Mario is a classic in the gaming world. The helpless princess Peach is captured by the evil Lord Bowser which sets our hero, Mario, into motion to rescue the fair and helpless princess to the best of his abilities.

This will always be one of my favorite game series, and Mario will always be one of my most well loved and favorite video game characters.

Thank You

This blog post is going to be a little different than it usually is, because I decided it's time to take a step back and thank anyone who has taken the type out of their days to read my non-stop chitter chatter and rantings about things that most people would never even bother to take the time and think about; much less get angry over.

I've noticed that I have had quite a few readers from all around the world. Some of them only stop in for a few seconds and then they are off to another webpage with something that is more interesting than what I am writing about. Some of them are my friends, and out of loyalty will read every post that I put up, no matter how boring or annoyed they made turn out.

I've noticed that most of my readers at the moment, however, are coming from Russia which is a pleasant surprise to me. I would like to take a moment and thank you for reading through my blog posts, even if you were only stopping by.

To people who check in regularly with my rants and reviews, I must say how grateful I am to you. You make me feel as if, at least, someone out there cares about what I say and what my opinions are, even if you disagree. You make me feel like my blog is important.

I've been trying to bust out posts that are a little more interesting to read and I apologize that I only post once every week. I know that my posts are very related usually, from me reviewing a recent concert that I have attended, to me ranting about pointless pastimes like the Xbox compared to the Atari.

Recently I have been competing in internet challenges which I enjoy and have been blogging about a lot, so I hope that that adds a little spark and zest to my blog itself.

Oh...Listen to me rambling on as per the usual. What I am trying to say is that I am very thankful to anyone who has viewed my blog and I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you for sticking with me on this.

To my loyal readers, it really means a lot to me that you read my blog, it makes me feel like I am actually writing for a reason, rather than myself.

Thank you so much! All of you!

My last thank you is this stupid picture of me and Elena. We look ridiculous. Laugh! =D
