Hey bros,
My name is Harrison Bayley. I am a Sophomore Computer Science major that is looking to make it big in the video gaming industry. I am a huge fan of RPGs and Online games, arcade games are alright, and I don't particularly like the FPS's.
I run Cross Country at my College, its a great sport, I love it. When I first started running though, I ran with my hands up by my chest, kind of like a T-Rex, and that's why my tag is Trexman.
I was diagnosed with Ulceritive Colitis Spring 2011. I ended up losing a good 25 pounds, my normal weight is somewhere around 145lbs, so there really wasn't much to lose. I had to drop that Spring Term so I didn't get any credits for that semester. I spent a while in the hospital getting tested and trying medications. Finally we got one that worked so I was able to live a comfortable life during the summer. I went back to school Fall '11 everything was looking good! I wasn't on the Cross Country team that year because I hadn't really had a good chance to train myself to be prepared for Collegiate running. I was just taking classes hanging out with my friends, hanging out with the Cross Country team every once in a while, a girl on the team really liked me. Things were lookin' good! Unfortunately, a little over half way through the semester, I started experiencing my symptoms from the previous Spring term. Eventually, it got so bad that I had to drop from school again and finish my classes later. I tried to make things work with that girl, but its surprisingly hard when you have the 24/7 trots and are experiencing rapid weight loss. So I went back to the hospital, we tried more medication and different medication, neither worked effectively. Nothing was going my way now... Eventually it came to the point where I had to make a choice between 1. Losing my colon. or 2. Seeing if the new medication would kick in later, but still have the possibility of relapse again later on. I opted for choice one, I was tired of it all. I wasn't exactly sure what I was getting into at the time. I had no idea what an Ostomy was. Now I do and I feel like it has dampened my self-esteem by a surprising amount, for a while I denied it. Now though its like I have been with it so long I don't need any support or anything, I just feel 10 bajillion times less attractive (despite the fact that 99.9% of the people I meet have no idea that I have a poop bag stuck to my stomach). Problems man. Anyways I ended up missing the next Spring Term too ('12), since my surgery was in December of '11 and it took me a lot longer to adjust to everything than had been originally anticipated. I missed out on so much... I lost my chance with that girl (she found someone else). I definitely wasn't able to create stronger friendships. Its almost like I was left behind.
I apologize for all this depressing talk.
This past Wednesday a friend of mine introduced me to PewDiePie's channel. It was like meeting a commandable cybernetic T-Rex. I love all of the stuff Pewdie does and it never gets old to me :). I can honestly say you have inspired me to try creating my own channel. I tried some stuff out today on my Mac (I don't have a webcam for Susan yet.(Susan is my desktop PC, he's a Bauz!)). I want to start a series from playing the Binding of Isaac. I still haven't beaten that game.
Thank you for letting me join this community!
