So here I go. It's funny; I've never really been a journaling sort of person. At several points in my life, I've TRIED to start a journal for myself and it failed. Maybe the limelight (or the dim nightlight, more likely) of public attention will get me writing. At any rate, it was my sister's idea. That is, she's been doing it for a long time and it seemed like a good idea.

So I haven't much to say this first time around. I'm male. I'm 30. I'm a folk musician, writer, small business owner, Russian literature aficionado, and all around low-key weirdo (in that I really am pretty offbeat, but not zany). I'm gay. I'm a college graduate (journalism/public relations, if you must know). And I always have opinions on things, but I'm not closed-minded.

I like to stay informed, so feel free to inform me or argue with me. If you're wrong, I'll tell you. But you just may make a friend, anyway :^).
