			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, this is my first attempt at a blog. We&#8217;ll see how this goes. I really need to write more, and even if no one reads it, at least I *will* be writing. It&#8217;s time to knock the dust off the ol&#8217; creativity and see what we got cookin&#8217;! I haven&#8217;t written any stories that weren&#8217;t for some sort of RPG gaming endeavor for about 10 years now. That makes me sad and it&#8217;s time to rectify it.</p>
<p>For the future,  what sorts of writing you&#8217;ll be able to find here&#8212;well, I expect I&#8217;ll write some fiction and non-fiction, maybe serialized, maybe not. I&#8217;ll also review and/or rant about video games, the video game industry, books, music, or movies. Sometimes I may just rant (or rave) about life in general&#8212;people, places, things. And I&#8217;m sure at some point I&#8217;ll be writing about my experiences as a dad of my daughter Ireland, and I may have a thing or two to say about being a husband. Again, this isn&#8217;t going to be me &#8220;dropping pearls of wisdom&#8221; or &#8220;coming down from on high to dole out sage advice because I&#8217;m so learned&#8221;, these are just going to be my experiences and reflections upon those experiences. If you happen to gain something out of it, then I&#8217;ll be glad to have posted it!</p>
<p>Oh, one more thing we&#8217;ll be discussing, pretty much for the whole month of November, is my attempt to grow an awesome mustache from a &#8220;clean slate&#8221; both to raise awareness (and some donation monies&#8212;link coming tomorrow) of men&#8217;s health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancer, and also to try and snag a &#8220;cameo&#8221; in Rockstar Games&#8217; Red Dead Redemption game. Trying specifically to grow a mustache from a clean slate is something I&#8217;ve never done and I am looking forward to the results. And to (hopefully) avoid confusion down the road, the month of November is known as &#8216;Movember&#8217; (&#8221;mo&#8221; is short for mustache) in mustache-growers&#8217;- and raising-awareness-of-men&#8217;s-health-issues&#8217;- circles.</p>
<p>I hope you&#8217;ll look forward to more tomorrow.</p>
