Post One: And Thus Began Something Epic (Or So I Hope)

I want to be a writer. I want to come up with creative ideas and creative ways to express them and share them with the world. I want to create universes and inhabitants for said universes that become figurative homes and companions for unmet readers. The thing is, you probably don't give a shit. Nor should you. WHY should you? My dreams don't concern you, or involve you, or affect you... yet. That's why I'm sitting here at my computer with an open tab to dictionary.com (which I've already used to check if I should've used affect or effect in the last sentence) participating in the internet fad of 1999. I want to entertain you, inspire you, and occaisionally confuse you with my blatant attempts to get noticed by someone who would be willing to pay me to do more. I honestly have no idea what I'm going to put in this blog. Odds are that it'll be a smattering of random bits that have yet to find a home in a full story and concepts that closely resemble a 4-year-old explaining the make-believe game they're playing. Please be warned that I am a nerd and therefore commonly use refernces to movies, comic books, sci-fi/fantasy books, and generally nerdy pop-culture. If these references make no sense to you, I'm sorry... that you have bad taste. Please enjoy. I'm doing this to get noticed and eventually paid, but only so I can do it all the time.
