the journey begins

so, i've finally entered the realm of blogging. something within me recoils at being like everyone else, yet at the same time my sense of belonging demands that i follow the crowd. thus, i refuse to capitalize in this first post to express my individualism while following the example of e. e. cummings (and numerous other internet people who are too lazy to hit the shift key). likely, i won't be able to handle it for long. anyway. welcome.
