first blog ever

Hi guys, my name is Allen and I'm the youngest in my family. It certainly wasn't too fun growing up being the youngest but now that my brother and sister are off to college I have the house to myself basically.

Here's a little history about myself. I was born in Taiwan and moved to America when I was four. I lived in Massachusetts and Iowa before I came to Kentucky, so I never really grew up in one place. One thing that moving around made me realize was that I really liked traveling. If I ever get to the point in my life where I either retire or make enough money to do fun things, I would travel the world. I like going on vacations to different places like Asia or Europe and just eating all the different foods is really fun.

This year I've really started to try to be less lazy about things in general and start to actually do work. Now when I look back on last year, I realized I wasted that year doing absolutely nothing productive. For my junior year, I've joined several activities including EAP, outdoors club, and beta club. What I'm really good at is violin though. I started playing violin when I was 7 and I really liked it. Then I started thinking that playing it was pretty dorky and I practiced with minimal effort for a couple of years. It was only until this summer when I've really started getting back into my music and realizing that I'm really good at it and I shouldn't quit (mentally). I went to a music summer camp this year and it helped me focus in on what I need to be doing and be more disciplined in what I do.

If I could have a superpower it would be either the power to read minds or to stop time just because those two powers can be used for serious situations or if you were bored and wanted something fun to do. I want to say that my favorite website is facebook not because I post a bunch of things on it but because it's the website I go to the most. Also I go on it to play hold'em poker which I really like doing but am not legally able to do with anything of monetary value. So instead I am going to choose a website that I like to go to if I want to laugh which is http://perfectlytimedphotos.com/. It is a bunch of funny pictures with even funnier captions that you can contribute to if you wanted.
