My first post

Well I officially decided to make my own blog. Along with Justin Evans, I help him run his Philly sports blog, We Hate to Lose. I don't want to be restricted to official news, formats, etc and just write about anything sports, music, or personal life related. I'll start with a quick introduction.

I'm John Russo and I'm from Atlantic City, NJ. I go to Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ and I major in journalism. I want to be a sports writer. I'm big into music as well as sports. I'm a fan of all Philly teams and root for Duke in college basketball and PSU in football. I have a very eclectic taste in music (a word I've stolen from my girl friend, Giovanna). Among my musical tastes, I like Dave Matthews, Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and many other great classic, alternative, and punk bands along with some blues and jazz. I have been playing piano for 14 years and the guitar for a year.

In my future posts you learn more about me, my hobbies, interests, and some feelings. Take it easy and be sure to read up on We Hate to Lose!
