First Post (Brainz)

Hello and welcome to my blog Brainz & Brawn. This is the first post of many to come. I intend this space to be a creative outlet for me to talk about and express my passion for both being a nerd and fitness/wellness. I will alternate each week between the Brainz section and the Brawn section, unless the readers (you) would like me to mix the two subjects. The topics for the Brainz portion will revolve around anything nerdy/geeky such as: video games, Magic: the Gathering, computers, technology, or anything else I can think of that fits my passion for being a nerd. The Brawn portion will be posts about how to keep fit while still expressing both mine and your passion for being a nerd. These Brawn posts will include topics such as: how to do basic and easy exercises at home, how to properly lift at the gym, how to make the most of your time at the gym, some eating tips, and anything else I can think of that relates to my passion of being fit. 

This week I will start off by talking about the new spoilers for Magic: the Gathering's newest set, Journey into Nyx. I have been into Magic: the Gathering (MTG) since around 2009, although I wish I had found it sooner. I absolutely love getting together with my friends and playing Magic. I also enjoy going to my local store (Gamer's Gauntlet) and competing to win prizes. Mythicspoiler.com is a site that contains the most comprehensive list, and images, of the newly spoiled cards. Keranos, God of Storms, Iroas, God of Victory, and Godsend are the three cards so far that I am excited about. I feel that these cards will see quite a bit of play in standard. I personally want to create a deck around both Keranos and Iroas.

I plan on going to the Journey into Nyx prerelease event on the weekend of April 26th. I am not sure yet which color I will choose for the event based on these promo cards. I am leaning towards either White or Green at the moment, although Black doesn't look that terrible either.

Thanks for reading and be sure to tune in the following weeks for more exciting information about how we can find balance between Brainz & Brawn. We don't have to choose just one. Also, be sure to check me out on Twitter and Facebook using the links in the About Me section, and leave constructive comments.
