What's up everybody? My given name is Paul Nathanael Sieger. People call me Paul, and my friends call me Paul too because my name doesn't give much leeway for nicknames. But I'm ok with that.
ANYWAY, this is my first official blog, although I do tend to write "notes" on Facebook every once in a while. This is a blog for my Journalism 120 class at Skyline, and I've never had to do anything like this for a class before, so I'll milk as much excitement out of it as I possibly can. This is my first semester at Skyline. After I graduated in '05, I got accepted to Cal Poly Pomona, and spent three days there only to end up coming home and working for a year because of some ridiculous "Fatal Attraction"-type relationship problems(don't ask). I spent a semester at USF in the fall of '06 to major in architecture, like I had intended to do at Cal Poly. By the end of the semester, I pretty much went from being interested in architecture to being almost repulsed by it. Because I was academically lost and dishing out way too much money, I moved to CSM and did two semesters there. And now here I am at Skyline, five minutes away from home and taking classes with friends, and I'm finally feeling pretty good about my situation.
I switched my major to journalism for this semester, because I decided that's what I want to do with my life. My dad did the same thing in college and became a sports writer, and still freelances to this day. I guess you could say he's my inspiration for this.
But enough of this academic crap. What I'm really into is hip hop. Ever since I fell in love with it when I was 14, I pretty much have found a way to revert any and every conversation into a conversation about hip hop. So don't talk to me if you're completely disinterested in how The Wu-Tang Clan relates to nuclear physics. So, it'd be nice to eventually write officially for a hip hop magazine, or at least do some freelancing in that area. When I'm not verbally destroying mainstream radio rap, you'll find me with my friends, trying as hard as possible to avoid video games but failing miserably, and driving around unable to think of anything "cool" to do.
So that's about all I have to say. I'll catch you next time.

Great first post. Yes, it may be a bit long, but I like your humor here, and your writing in general. Hmm, does every conversation revert eventually to hip hop? We'll see! :)
Don't forget to post a photo too.
