And So We Begin...

Yokoso! (that means "Welcome" in Japanese)

This blog will have many purposes, chiefly among those being my plans for a journey to the beautiful country of Japan. It has been a dream of mine since I was a child, and I've made a decision that before I leave this earth, I WILL get there. This blog will document the steps I've taken to get to that goal, and once I get there, I will detail the events of my journey.

Also, this blog will serve as a general rant-and-rave forum on my everyday life, from the incidental to the consequential. My inner geek will have plenty of opportunities to shine, and I am also sure my darker self will rise to the surface from time to time, but no one is without their imperfections, and there's no logic in trying to hide them.

I hope you'll patiently join me on this journey-before-the-journey, and occasionally show your support.

And so we begin...
