Hello

This is my first attempt at a blog of my own. I plan on writing several posts before sharing it with my friends; it seems odd to have the freedom to write whatever I want for myself, but the means to publish it to the world. I have thought about doing this for a long time, but today, reading a blog produced by someone associated with the Free Iran movement, Blogger asked if I'd like to create one of my own. Strange sequence of events, since I want my own blog for writing poetry, musings on life, and memories! That is the internet: the ultimate marketplace!
