| Introduction | I am a 30-something journalist, artist, poet, photographer and aspiring fiction author. I am happiest when I am creating something beautiful and delight in many forms of self expression. I am introverted yet extroverted, public yet private, humorous yet bleak -- in general, I am a person of contradictions. I love to share ideas and scribble about stuff, and thus I have waded into the wonderful world of blogging... It was bound to happen sooner or later. We'll see what happens next. :-) |
