At Least It's Not a Podcast

Picture this: it was the early to mid-2000s. Between discussing high school happenings with friends on Yahoo! messenger and picking the perfect MySpace profile song, I started a little side project—I created my own website. It wasn't much, but it was my first foray into digital publishing.

For an audience of myself and anyone else who stumbled upon this little inconsequential corner on the Internet, I reviewed the films from my weekly trip to the video store, wrote out my thoughts on an album or piece of music I was obsessed with at the time, and rated the twisting, subverting plot lines from my latest video game play-through. "Xpozed Media" it was called. So edgy.

Little did I know that years later, I'd find myself developing, writing, and producing multimedia content—essentially doing the same thing teenage me started albeit much more refined and professional. Only the orbit of my storytelling has grown beyond just me. It now includes the stories of high profile individuals, organizations, nonprofits, and businesses; an audience of one to of hundreds of thousands.

Which brings me back to this post. Taking a page from my early bedroom journalism, I wanted to return to writing for myself. My goal is to put more words down on paper (proverbially speaking), and explore the medium I haven't given as much love in a while. Be it thoughts, musings, critiques, or something else entirely, follow along on what's to come. But hey, at least it's not another podcast.

Stay tuned.
