Hello World.

This was a phrase most frequently used by an old professor of mine not too long ago. These two words were brought up in the middle of class so often, it got annoying REALLY fast. However, in this instance, I find these words appropriate as I attempt to let my voice be heard via Odyssey. This was recommended to me by a friend and for the past several months, I've been dodging whether or not I should even type the site's name into my search engine. So, what did I do? Well, I'm here, now am I?

This is my first post or publication on the site and, for the entire day, I wondered what I would talk about. Given the serious nature of the articles I found on the Odyssey's homepage, I knew I was going in deep here. But I ultimately decided that I would try to shy away from all of that heavy stuff and mostly focus on the content I wanted to put out. That doesn't mean I'm not open to suggestions or anything, I'm just saying I won't try and force my political opinions, ethics, or beliefs down your throat. I want people to fell comfortable when they come here, now.

As for what I will or may be posting here, to be completely honest, I'm not sure. Now, don't think I came onto this site without a clue of what the hell I was going to do - I have ideas floating around in my noggin, but I'm quite unsure as to whether or not there's a criteria or format I have to follow. For example, I've been reminded on many occasions that I am a talented writer when it comes to analysis or storytelling, but how well will that translate onto here? Not everyone comes onto this site to find out if the knight heroically saves the maiden or to read your fandom fan-fictions or find out if Little Timmy makes it out of the well. This idea is what led me to write this article at midnight on the eve of February - to see what kind of content you as viewers/readers you would like me to post. I have plenty of social media accounts you can find me on if you have any ideas, and if you do it doesn't have to be anything specific - just run an idea across me and I'll see if it can benefit to my time on the site. (I'll even mention you as a sort of collaborator if you wish.)

I hope you'll be okay with my first publication. I'm sorry I couldn't make it anything interesting like a group analysis, animal pics, or a Top (insert number here) list. But maybe you'll be able to help me as I strive to give you something you can appreciate or even just smile to; keep in mind that this isn't just my journey here - this is a journey we take together.
