Beginnings. They're always messy things, but I guess they're important. And like with most beginnings I really have no idea how it came to be, but here I am. It probably had a lot to do with lack of sleep, boredom, alcohol, questionable decisions, or a combination of the four. So, with a month ahead of me of testing the waters here, we'll see how far this path really goes. With any luck it may become a new outlet for my writing and photography away from anything familiar. It's just a matter of overcoming all of the, um......distractions. In the end, if by being here, I leave behind some beautiful words and pictures, I'll be a happy kid.
