Initial Thoughts

Interesting......I never saw myself as someone who would become a blogger...but recently my curiosity has gotten the better of me.  I've always loved to write, whether it be poetry, short stories, creative writing through role playing, or just random other thoughts...but I'm much more organized than this ramshackle of words thrown about.

You're probably asking....what the hell is this Jinx the Bard crap.  Well, I needed something that would fit all the needs of this blog, which is going to include creative writing, short stories, poetry, rants and raves, obsessions and so forth.  A bard is someone who could fit into any of these genres and therefore seemed to make the most sense.  There will be some sarcasm and good laughs thrown in every now and then and hopefully it will become something worth reading...but I wouldn't get your hopes up.  Being a blogger newbie, it'll take some time to learn the ropes and see how best to get the ideas flowing smoothly so as not to bore someone into suicide or so they won't hunt me down and kill me, just to stop me from writing ever again.

The time just seems right for me to start collecting my thoughts...to delve deeper into what makes me tick.  I'm much more than I let on and a lot less than what I hope to be.  Most people would find me quiet, shy and reserved.  There is a perfectly good reason for this...I'm an observer....I lay in wait, listening, waiting, checking things out, until I'm ready to make my move.  When I do....when I let you in to my world...there is no turning back...only confusion and sillyness, humor and sarcasm (overly plentiful at times), laughter and atrocities, but especially friendship.  The good news is, is that if you're reading this, more than likely, you're one of the lucky (or incredibly unlucky) few to know me.

So why did I start the blog?  To get back into writing, yes, but another reason is so my son and wife know just how completely NUTS I am.  (they already have an inkling)
So this was brief, to the point and had really nothing of substance.  Great way for me to keep people reading, good job newbie.

Stay tuned for the next installment of my thoughts, aptly named, "I'm a MONSTER".
