Painting takes a long time. Have a great 2011.

Today has been a pretty boring day. I've been parading back and forth from my bedroom to paint, back to the kitchen to eat something. A little bit of video gaming has been thrown into the mix as well. 
 
This whole situation started because I got a Kinect for Christmas, and decided that I would make it fit in my bedroom, since there's not enough space in the living room. So I planned on just rearranging, but then decided screw it, I'd wanted to repaint for the longest time. I decided on an off-white for the walls, and grey for the floor (yes, I can paint my floor). It sounds bland, but I have some plans to spruce it up nicely. Anyways, I've come up with an arrangement that will hopefully allow for plenty of dancin' space. Oh, and adventurin' space; don't forget the adventurin'. 
 
As I'm waiting for the paint to dry (as I've been doing off and on all day), I just wanted to write this blog mostly out of boredom. Since this will more than likely be my final blog of the year though, maybe I should make this into more. (The next section was inspired by RiotBananas  :P)
 
I want to say thank you to everyone at Whiskey Media that were able to be part of the development and maturation of Giant Bomb, as well as the sister sites. Seriously, Giant Bomb is an amazing accomplishment. You think about all of the bad events that took place back when the GB crew all worked together at Gamespot. Jeff was fired for shitty reasons, and next thing you know there're staff jumping ship left and right. Navarro went to Harmonix, Ryan quit, and not too long after that, Vinny and Brad quit. Before all of that, Rich Gallup had left to pursue another challenge as well. My current video game home, Gamespot, was falling apart. Little did I know, something even bigger and better than Gamespot was being built. Giant Bomb was a breath of fresh air for me when I first joined. Those How To Build A Bomb videos pretty much sealed the deal that this would be where I would spend a lot of my internet time. The staff have worked their butts off the be honest and interesting journalists, and for that I thank them. But it doesn't end with the staff. 
 
The community is what makes Giant Bomb. I want to thank all of you guys and girls for being so awesome and helping shape Giant Bomb into what it is today. Whether it was through the Wiki, the forums, user reviews, lists, guides, or what have you. You all have done a tremendous job making this a special place to hang out. Really guys, thanks. 
 
Well, I'd better go check to see if the paint's dry. This has been a good use of my down time. I wish everyone who reads this a happy 2011. Keep being cool.
