The Great Adventure begins...

I've created this blog as a way to express many of the stories and fantasies which linger in my mind.  For a long time I've held on to a dream of becoming a writer, yet until now have never taken a step towards making that a reality.  I love to entertain people and bring them fun and excitement, and hope that through writing I can impart the same feeling of magic and wonder onto others that my fantasies bring me when I immerse myself into them.

I'm a huge daydreamer.  I've always dreamed of traveling the world, interacting with different cultures, and lending a hand wherever I can, but in my own unique way.  I'm pretty unusual (and a bit eccentric) but this has been a boon to my creative potential, or at least I'd like to believe as much!  I'm the kind of guy who could entertain himself for days on end with only a rock, a couple of toothpicks, and my own two hands if I just so happened to be trapped at the bottom of a deep cave in the middle of the jungle somewhere.  So, why wouldn't I try writing stories about crazy stuff like that?

I think it would be very satisfying (and a terrible amount of fun) to experiment with storytelling in the form of short stories.  One day I may try to write a novel, and some of these stories will tie into that particular theme while others will not and meander off in a completely different direction.  If things go well and my creative abilities and writing skills ring true, perhaps I'll make a lifestyle out of it.  If not, well... at least I'll be having a lot of fun.

I hope that you enjoy reading what I create.  Thank you for visiting and I hope you decide to pull up a palm frond, grab some coconut milk, and stay for a while!
