Birthday


Today was a pretty good day, spent time with my friend, ate cake, talked with my mom.

This morning I logged onto wow to see the guild message displayed above, followed by what seemed like half the online population of my realm spamming me with "HAPPY BDAY!" and "HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY M8"

Im not so much into my birthday, or alot of attention, but it was pretty amazingly cool nonetheless.

Im thinking about making instructional videos, to teach the proper way to play a paladin tank, and teach abit about tanking in general. Hopefully by the time cataclysm comes around I will use the video to give my ideas on 4.0 tanking and the cataclysm mechanic changes. Im pretty excited for it. I really wish i had a beta key :P

y hai thar.

Hello internet!

I have been reading blogs like this for awhile now so I decided to finally chip in and make my own.
warning: this blog is mostly gonna be about the game World of Warcraft, anyone uninterested in the game has probably stumbled across this blog by some freak accident and should probably navigate themselves away =).

So let me introduce myself. Hi, I'm Shieldie, a blood elf paladin tank on the US server of Runetotem. Im 21 years old, well.. actually 22 by the time I finish writing this post (birthdays ftw)
Im gonna start blogging in hopes to boost my productivity, Im pretty lazy what can I say, I figure writing stuff down will help keep me on track, as well as to write guides / info / whatever someone out there may find useful, or at the very least to entertain myself. I will probably put some IRL stuff in here too but nothing too much. Excuse the poorly  put together writings, Im not really an english major and I tend to fail at communicating whats on my mind >.<

Anyways, as I was gonna say..
In wow I tank for the guild on the Runetotem realm. We arent a bleeding edge guild, hell we arent even in icc hardmodes but we are getting there. Its not anywhere near a hardcore guild, but we are all a pretty close bunch. They picked me up after I had to sadly leave my previous guild, My computer isnt the greatest and I kept freezing during hardmodes and it was becoming too much of a problem.

Currently Im in Norway, visiting a good friend of mine, So my play time has been very limited, but in 2 weeks Im going back to the states and will start raiding again. Before I left off, we were working on 10man regular Lich King, constantly getting to the 3rd phase. Now they have implimented the 30% buff though, Im sure that will give us the last push we need, as I promised Soundwave, our GM that id do all I can to help get the guild their Kingslayer titles =)

Anyways ive been sitting with this open for over an hour now and im sure its probably not that interesting to read so I will end this post now :P
