Just A Little About Me...

Hello, my name is Brayden Dobson. I was born and raised in Tooele, UT. I originally planned to go to college in Minnesota, because a good friend of mine got a football scholarship to Augsburg University located in Minneapolis, MN. But my friend was planning on transferring to Dixie State, so long story short I met him down here in St George. He instead joined the military and ditched me here in St George. I didn't know a single person in the entire town. But here I am, a year and a half later, with plenty of friends and plenty of experiences behind me. I truly believe I was meant to be here. Fate, I guess, if you believe in that sort of thing. I am a very talented writer, and a hopeless romantic, and one day hope to be a writer and/or journalist. I relate to Brian Griffin from the television series Family Guy, because he too is a talented writer and hopeless romantic. I have almost the same personality as him, it's weird. I am very intelligent, and I don't want to brag, because that's not my nature.. but when it comes to sports, I know as much or more than any ESPN analyst does. I will be working for ESPN after college. It's going to be nice to get paid to watch football. Football is my specialty. I know more about football than anybody I've ever talked to. It's almost boring to talk about football with other people, because very few know as much as I do.

My second favorite sport is hockey. Very few people around here watch hockey, and yet it is so interesting. People around here get into that stupid ass FIFA video game. Hockey is so much more exciting than soccer. And yes, I call it soccer. I don't care what they call it in other lands. I live in America, it's not football, it's soccer. Hockey has the violence of football, combined with occasional fighting.

I am not just a talented writer and sports fanatic, but also a music lover. I literally love all types of music, but my favorite type of music is punk rock. My favorite band is Blink 182. I have over 50 of their songs on my iPhone. I also love Bowling For Soup, All American Rejects, Sublime, Green Day, Goodnight Nurse, and Nirvana to name just a few. But as much as I love punk rock, I've got to say, I love country music just as much. Last summer, I went to a four day long concert with a friend of mine. We stayed in a tent for the weekend and watched numerous acts perform. Reba, Rascal Flatts, Brantley Gilbert, Eric Church, Florida Georgia Line, and many others. This concert was so popular that people from all over the country came to Tooele just to see it.


I am also a lover of warm weather. I can not stand the cold. I've been to Hawaii twice with my family, and I plan on going back.

Hawaii is and always will be the best vacation I have ever taken. I had so many fun experiences there.



I love video games. I guess I'm what you would call "a gamer". I prefer Xbox over PlayStation, but I also enjoy Nintendo products. People talk shit on the Wii all the time, but I absolutely love the Wii. So enough out of you negative Nancy's of the gamer world. My favorite games are: Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5, Bully, Super Paper Mario, Mario Party 6, anything in the Madden series, anything in the NHL series, Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Red, Bully, Banjo Kazooie and many others. I am not the type who knows everything there is to know about video games, but I do enjoy playing, despite my limited knowledge.

I am not someone who claims to be anything different than I am. So who am I, you ask? Okay, you didn't ask, but you're reading this so you obviously have some interest in knowing who I am. I am a friendly and compassionate person. I am not the type of person who is mean to anybody just for the sake of being mean. If you are nice to me and give me respect, than I will return the favor and be nice to you. I go out of my way to meet new people, and when I go to school and church events and I always end up talking to new people. I don't plan it that way, but I am just so outgoing that it always ends up happening.

Well, that's me. If you want to know more, just talk to me. I am very friendly and love to meet new people, especially girls. So if you're a hot girl, come over and say hi. And if you're a guy, come over and say hi and we can be friends. All jokes aside though, if you need or want a friend, talk to me and we can be friends. I'm a really nice person, and easy to get along with.
