So I graduated

Wow, I made it. Granted that was a few weeks ago at this point, but it feels like months. I tried writing this up before, but it just didn't feel right, so I will try it again. I've been just sitting around since graduation, I tutored a little bit, ran some errands, but other than that, I've not done much. Well, I did go to the mets game the other day, but a post on that is coming as soon as I get the pictures sorted out. I have been playing a stunning amount of xbox 360, and have been enamored with first person shooters recently, specifically Team Fortress 2 on the Orange Box. I've even been slacking on my posting over at Your Comic Relief, which is no good because I really need to keep up with that. The problem there is that I have not had the chance to catch up with my comics recently, and I have well over 200 comic books to get through, and these distractions, such as studying for the GRE's doesn't really help at all. I say that as if I have been studying consistently, the closest I have gotten is that I've started reading daily to help prep myself for the literary comprehension section, I need to get on this, making flashcards etc... but I just can't seem to find the motivation. Know what I mean?

Initial Post

First off, hello cyberspace. My name is Tim H, and this is my blog. I run a small assortment of blogs, the most successful of which is Your Comic Relief, however unfortunately I left it alone for a month due to stress, and am now attempting to recapture my audience, which, while difficult, is actually easier than the first time. Similar to going to the gym, something else I haven't done in a long time; it is easier to regain muscle mass than to gain it the first time. I am also playing around with Hub Pages, where I post about science, but I'm fairly sure that's just a closed community, and because many of the posters there are there to put up ads and earn money, I don't feel anyone was actually reading the posts to really enjoy them, although I will continue for a bit, to see what happens. I also get the feeling over there that nobody from outside the Hub Pages community is viewing them, or even if they are able to. A similar thing can be said for the first blog I ran, over at Gamespot. Except there nobody wants to read what anyone else has to say, and it seems to be mostly a bunch of early/pre-teens who have nothing better to do than flame message board. As you can see, I have a few, very focused projects going on, but my problem is I have a very wide range of interests. Hence this one was born. I plan to use this to rant, link, promote my better work, and basically do what I will with.
