My First Blog

WOW.... This is my first blog EVER!!!! How whack am I???? (23 yrs old and only now learning how to blog. WHAT A SHAME) So I guess I should say something proficient... memorable... driving for impact!

Ok I got it... I hope to make any readers of this thing think differently than before they came to my space. Welcome to Corey's Space. Clearly my name is Corey and I really wasn't inspired to even start this blogging thing. I did it because I read a comment online at my girlfriend's (yes I have a girlfriend who I live with) page for the local Top Model contest out here.

GO TO THIS LINK and vote for her so she can win. What's her name you say? Click the link and actually vote. AND LEAVE A SUPPORTIVE MESSAGE PLEASE. That way we can go to LA and act the fool LOL.

Anyway, so I read this girl's comment she left on my girlfriend's page and it was ridiculously negative. I wanted to post something to tell the girl that she was mean, but Ericka said what I originally had to say was very threatening. So I toned it down. I won't tell you what I finally put. You will have to see it by visiting that link. I took from that that I should have a space to post my comment... So here's my space.

A little bit about me
I'm originally from Brooklyn, NY, born to a family of 6 (4 boys, 2 girls)
23 yrs old I was born on the same day (August 9) as my older sister, except that same day happened 9 yrs after she was born (that's how she ended up being my older sister!) So same birthday, different year
I have a lot of extended family, who may at some point show up in some postings here on the site
Graduated from Howard University with a degree in Systems & Computer Science (HU!!! YOU KNOW!!!!)
Just recently moved to Seattle, WA with my girlfriend to work for Microsoft (YES I'M A PC AND I HAVE NO DAMN PROBLEM SAYING IT)
Love to read a lot of things technical (that's how I got my job), play the piano (absolutely love jazz and gospel), listen to people who have good sense (I don't hate a lot but I HATE IGNORANCE), and being a really good friend

So from that, you can expect to read a bunch of different things in this blog. Some days I'll rant about politics, love, work, family... Some days I'll share some stories of joy to make ya smile... Some days I'll talk about the random things that happen in my life... Some days I'll just post my thoughts to see who in the world is reading this... And some days, I just won't write at all.

A BIT OF FOREWARNING: I will say some controversial things, but always expect me to validate these things. It is very rare that I'll make a statement like, "That was the dumbest thing I have ever seen" without providing something to compare it to as being smarter. That's just me. I hate broad generalizations of the such. So definitely, please don't be scared to tell me you didn't like what you read. Even if you can't stand this posting lol.

So... WELCOME WELCOME... Looking forward to hearing from ya!
