First off, a picture to represent the sun rising on my new blogging endeavor!

Ok, all cheesiness aside, this is the beginning: My first post. This is my cover, so don't judge the book yet. I'm not sure what this blog will offer the universe, but I hope it serves to (1) entertain, (2) enlighten, and (3) hopefully better the world. If it puts a single smile on somebody's face when he or she is having a bad day, great! If not, I'm hoping that it serves as a means of creative expression for me, which (again, hopefully) I will find therapeutic.
I noticed that I used the word "hope" a few times in the brief lines above. It reminded me of a quote (I don't know the speaker):
"Man can live about 40 days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope."
In the very near future I will post more information about me, about my target audience, and about whatever else comes to mind as I figure all this blogging stuff out. I like to keep things short, so, I guess I'll conclude this mini-intro by requesting that you bear with me, enjoy the content, and tag along for the ride.
