Introduction Time!

It's my first blog post! Ever. Like, really ever. I've never blogged before, so get ready for this train wreck.

Introductions are probably in order, even though most of you reading this will already know who I am since I'll be shamelessly plugging myself on Facebook and/or Twitter as soon as this post goes up.

This is me:

Hi! I'm Mitch. Or Mitchell. Or that asshole who shouts when he talks because he doesn't know the difference between a stage voice and an indoor voice sometimes.

That picture is a few months old, but all that's changed is more facial hair and I like this one anyway since I look like a discount pirate, with a bumblebee instead of a parrot because parrots are overrated. His name is Bartelby.

So let's talk about what this blog is going to be. Confession time.

I'm a geek.

No, really?

It's actually a really big part of who I am. And a lot of who I am is influenced by that. Beyond my family and friends, my geekiness has always been a shaping factor in my life and I'm really proud of that.

So that's the reason this blog exists now. I'm going to talk about those geeky things, why I love them, and how they impacted me. And I'm going to do it all with unabashed enthusiasm because you should never be ashamed of liking what you like.

Unless you like kicking puppies or something. Be ashamed of that. And then turn yourself into the authorities because what kind of ass hat likes kicking puppies?

...That got dark for an introduction post. Shit. Back to the happy.

One of my happy puppies - never kicked

So thank you for reading! I'll hopefully be posting a few times a week, once a week if I'm busy or just don't have anything to talk about.

Stay cool. Be beautiful. And always geek out.
