Welcome to The Combat Chronicle!

Thank you for following The Combat Chronicle. My name is Branden Gariety and I am the author of this blog. This introduction post is just to let all of my readers know a little about who I am and what I like.

As I stated in the above passage, my name is Branden Gariety and I am a Freshman at Jacksonville State University. Go Gamecocks! My three favorite things to do are cook, write poetry, and play sports. In short I am a poetry writing chef that loves to be active.


Cooking is one of my passions. I inspire to one day open and own my very own restaurant. I have been in several culinary competitions in high school. High school is where my love for cooking was explored. Thanks to the support of my parents, the inspiration from my grandmother, and the aid of my amazing instructor Chef Jessica Henry I developed a love for cooking and discovered a new way for self expression. Through my experiences while cooking and competing in high school I learned that it is not always doing what will make you the most money or the most profitable, but it is about doing what will make you the happiest. Facing adversity is a hard thing to do but if you are able to push through and carry on then you will become something much stronger and better you were before.




I'm far from perfect but I will always be awesome. My poetry is just another way for me to express my thoughts and views. This saying has been in many of my poems and it describes me perfectly.



My favorite NFL team is the falcons and thanks to English 101 I found a new blog to follow. The Falcoholic is an Atlanta Falcons blog and I find it truly amazing.
