First Blog - Extra Life 24hr Gaming Marathon

Well, here I go, my first blog. A couple years ago I first thought, "why would I want to blog about anything....my life seems too simple and boring to write about and have people read." Then recently I seen a few odd blogs post that was about nothing and/or random things, so I got thinking and I came to the conclusion, `hell, why not start one, not like it'll be any worse then the crap I've read online...lol`
Well, because this is my first blog, it might be the longest one I will ever write.

There is 38 days until the Extra Life 24 hour gaming marathon charity event. I'm the captain of a team of 5 (counting myself.) All the members are part of the church I go to and we are also friends outside of it. We were looking into taking a day and going to visit the children at the hospital whom we chose to send the donations to but we were denied due to security reasons. Only friends and family are allowed to go visit the children there.

In preparation of the 24 hour gaming marathon, a few members of my team gamed for 6-12 hours this past Monday. Normally you would think, `avid gamers, playing for that long straight, not a big deal,` but I could tell that some of the team wasn't that experienced with gaming for that long. I on the other hand played for 12 hours with the occasional break. I did feel a little mentally drained after but I know I could have went a full 24 hours. If you would like to sponsor my team, please visit http://www.extra-life.org/team/TheNimrods

I will be hopefully doing a live blog post approximately  every 1-2 hours throughout the gaming marathon with updates on whats going on.

Thanks for wasting your time on a pointless blog post. More Blazing blogz to come.
