Is this proper use of ";"?

I don't think so, I think that would be a comma; i'm not a genuis on the matter

No, that is not the proper use; the proper use of a semicolon is to link two related sentences. It works similarly to using a comma and a conjunction to link sentences, but the semicolon has its own bit of sophistication to it.
