New to Chess

I'v been playing chess here and there all my life, and was just a little better then the average person I played. Now as a young adult, I took a look at my life and released that my interests where spread to thin, over to many topics to genuinely gain any real success at any one. So I thought about it for a few weeks and chose to focus my hobby time on chess. So here I am at Chess.com to learn to become a better player. I hope to get involved with local tournaments at some point. I don't think there is much chess focused events in Omaha, NE, but I might be surprised. No one will probably read this but wish me luck anyhow.
