You know how new TV shows sometimes take a few episodes before the cast and crew figure out what the voice of the show is?

That is how I am viewing this blog, which is my first ever, so please bare with me as I get the hang of this.

In this blog, I am planning on writing about some of things I am interested in. These include Japan, multimedia/computers, anime, and psychology.

I would first like to share some thoughts on the nature of blog writing.

I have always been good at English, especially literature classes, because I like stories so well. After working hard on writing in high school, college, and graduate school, I finally became comfortable with traditional forms of academic and letter writing, but I have close to no experience with blog writing.

I read online recently somewhere that having a blog can actually help you when looking for a job (which I am doing now). On top of that, it seems that having Word Press skills is good for web consultants (which I am).

My first actual blog was in Japanese, on the Mixi site. I thought I would be “different” and start my online life in Japanese.

But now that I have my own website, am interested in Facebook, and now Word Press, so I decided it was time for me to have my very own blog, on my very own website. Welcome to my Blog!
