(1) Pilot: Introduction

August 5th, 2019

Hello, my name is Paul. Welcome to my blog. In this blog, I will share a little bit about myself, how my summer 19 has been so far, and discuss sports and music. Let's jump right in!!!

I am 22 years old, I'm a Roman Catholic, I am the oldest of 2 siblings, I grew up in Vancouver, New Westminster, and Burnaby, I love to play and watch basketball, and soccer and I'm into watching TV series/shows such as The Office, Suits, Euphoria and Narcos just to name a few.

Summer 19, well half of my summer consisted of working, volunteering at different events, playing basketball, soccer, ultimate, and running. Each day I would always try to do something new and something that challenged me in a good way. To push limits. Explore, learn and grow. I found myself being lazy at times, staying home, struggling to finish Spider-man on Ps4 or on that NBA 2k18 grind on my Player, or my league/season. I mean there's nothing wrong with that I guess. It's always nice to have days where you can sit down, spend time for yourself. Plan for the next day, what events or activities you have for that week and weeks to follow. I guess, in my case, it can be very easy for me to lose sight of all that and just get lost playing video games for very long sessions. I mean, I could write more lyrics for songs that I record, I could be spending time with the Lord in prayer, or spend more time with family. That is definitely, something that I will try to work on and hopefully overcome by the time summer ends and my schooling starts back up again. 

Sports. I support Chelsea fc in soccer. Funny story of how I became a fan. My grade seven teacher in elementary school was a very cool dude because we both followed soccer and played soccer with my classmates and I every now and then. So. when I asked him which team he supported he spoke on how he supported Chelsea fc. He emphasized first and foremost, about the family that he had in England were huge supporters, in addition at the time they were really good Premiere  League title contenders. So I hopped on the bandwagon and fell in love with the team. Their style of attacking play, solid defence were just some of the things that stood out to me. If you were to ask me who my all-time favourite player is on the team, I would tell you without a doubt that it is Didier Drogba.

Music. About 2 years ago my cousin started to really pick up on music, more specifically rap. What struck me was that he was I was following his progression as an artist. One memory that I will never forget was during a family gathering with relatives at our grandma's house, he played a song called When it Rains. He produced the beat, wrote the lyrics, this mans did it all. From that moment on, I was inspired. Like, "what were you thinking when you wrote...down." Aside from that, some of my musical influences stem from Michael Jackson, ASAP Rocky, Jaden Smith, Kanye, Drake, Rihanna, Teyanna Taylor, Willow Smith, Jorja Smith, and Ella Mai. Are the first 10 that come to mind.

If you have made it this far, thank you. I'll try to do 3 blogs a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
