I am Connor-Connor Foley Assignment 1

My name is Connor Foley. I like to spend the majority of my time relaxing. I’ve always been a “worry later” kind of person, or if you’d prefer, a procrastinator. However, that isn’t to say that I never do anything productive. When not playing video games or watching Youtube content, I enjoy taking my dog, Jaeger, on walks. I enjoy walking in general, it gives me time to just think as I stroll around my neighborhood, probably listening to music, and preferably, if I can help it, bathing in the warmth of the outside world. I hate the cold with a burning passion. In my ideal world, if I had to choose between every day being 30 degrees or 80 degrees, I’d take 80 any day. The slightest of chill breeze infuriates me personally, and as it starts getting colder, I start bundling up to avoid the harsh bite of the winter weather.  Back to my dog, Jaeger (pictured below at my great grandfather’s 93rd birthday), he’s a total nutcase. I volunteer with the Lexington Humane Society, and one of the activities I perform is helping out with adoptions at a local PetSmart on the weekends. At one of these adoption events, I saw a young dog named Bentley. He was 7 months old, and looked bigger than a lot of the other dogs there. He was a total mess. A couple came in to look at him, so I tried to get him out of the crate, and he just wouldn’t. He peed in the crate, and when I went in to clean it, he backed up to the back of the crate and whimpered. People came in and gave all sorts of love to the other puppies, but when they saw Bentley’s quirks, they were scared off of him. I began an effort to actively try to get this dog adopted...but to no avail. Soon my mom arrived to pick me up and take me home, but I knew what I had to do. Our first dog, Callie, passed away February 2nd, 2016. There was a massive hole in our hearts, and I was very much so ready for a new dog. So in January of 2017, I asked my mom if she wanted to see Bentley. I finally got him out of his crate and carried him to a back meeting room. My mom liked the dog, and I loved him. That day, we took Bentley home, now named Jaeger. His eccentric habits and personality has proved challenging at times, but I love him just the same. A lot of things geek me out, mostly video game related, but occasionally related to tv and movies. I’m a huge fan of Nintendo games, and also love a lot of the gaming library of companies such as Capcom, Sega, and Activision. As far as movies go, I enjoy classic horror movies and modern action movies. So anything from Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Halloween, to pretty much any of the modern Marvel movies, Star Wars, etc.
