A Texas-sized Introduction

Howdy everyone,

            So as you may know by now from my Twitter, I have been accepted as a writer for this website. I am very pleased to be writing with other writers who I am sure will post great things in the future.

            Well first let me introduce myself. My name is Richard Vargas and I am 20 years old (soon to be 21 in February) and from Pasadena, Texas. That's Texas--NOT CALIFORNIA-- Texas. Anywho, I am finishing up my time in San Jacinto College, where I will be transferring to a university hopefully not long from now. I will most likely be majoring in something having to due with computers, but I am also considering something in sports journalism which is why I decided to apply for a job as a writer on this website.

             Which leads me to my next topic. From what I am seeing so far, I will be one of the few that will be posting about something other than tech. I assume many of you are asking why I would post sports stuff seeing as this is primarily a TECH website, but I feel there are people that come to this website that are tech enthusiasts, but like a little sports news on the side. I will be mainly writing about events and news that happen in the MLB and NFL, with a few stories on the side about NBA, and College sports since I feel these are areas I can write comfortably in.

              I also would like to hear from you guys and gals of any sports news, or topics that you want me to discuss and I will try my best to write about it. Whether it's a debate about a situation, or just an interesting article you found, I am here not only to practice and futher hone my skills as a writer, but also interact with my audience. It's a winning formula; you can ask David (thecreativeone) for proof.

              If you would like to follow me on Twitter to find out about my picks for games, or just want to know when I'll be streaming again, you can follow me at www.twitter.com/RichieVar

               Again, I would like to extend a big thanks to David for this idea and I look forward to hearing from many of you in the future by leaving comments on my posts. Hope to hear from all of you soon and have a great day.

-Richard "RichieVar" Vargas

Hey Richie, 

I am very glad to see someone besides myself who will be writing about sports.  This will certainly make the blog more interesting when there is someone who can give/take on certain topics with different point of views.  I plan on doing an in depth post on the Super Bowl, NFL draft and etc.  It would be great if you wanted to collaborate on the story, giving varied opinions and such. I don't know how familiar you are with hockey but, I plan to write a quick overview of any games that go on that are particularly interesting everyday.  If you feel there is any topic you want to discuss in particular let me know.  I am looking forward to reading your posts and everyone else's.  

-Bobby

Hey dude I'm very glad you'll be writing about sports instead of tech stuff. It's seems to me that there will be a large amount of people already covering those topics. Although I'm not a sports fan in any way shape or form I'll definitely be looking forward to more of your posts

I like the title, I'm from a small town near Lake Jackson, Texas close to were David is from.

Sweet, i'm also happy we have a sports writer like the first guy said. Everyone will probably write the exact same article once a new story pops up. Go Eagles!!!
