Hello all! This is my first post on my non sports blog. My about me explains who I am pretty well but i'd like to give you guys a closer look. I'm Taylor Nicholas Nigrelli and I was born in Syracuse, New York in 1993. I've lived in the Buffalo area since I was a baby so yes you should feel bad for me, especially considering what a huge sports fan I am. I wasn't blessed with the most athletic talent. I try not to let this phase me too much and i'm proud of who i've become anyway.
I've always been an emotional person but over the years I've tried to eliminate emotion somewhat in decision making and instead channel emotion into what i'm writing. At some point this year I decided to take a risk. For as long as I can remember it's been my plan to become a history teacher. This is a safe option and for too long I planned to do what was safe. I've always loved sports and over the years began to gain some skill at writing. This October after a tragic event which will be discussed in a later post, I decided that life was too short to not take this risk. So I changed my major and began to write more about sports. A few short months later here I sit as an editor at the school newspaper (Assistant sports to be exact), the cross country beat writer for the school's athletic website, a contributor to another webiste run by students, co-editor of the Hungry Dog Blog, and of course the author of this fine blog. Things can change quickly and I still have a long way to go but I know with the right amount of effort and just enough emotion, I can become a great sports writer. I've always felt that I've had great ideas or great things to write that i've never gotten to share and this gives me the oppurtunity to do just that. So I hope you enjoy what I put out, feel free to leave a comment.
