Putting my toes in the steemy water. Hello from BC!

I'm writing to introduce myself so I'll be concise and stick to what's important...

I prefer light roast coffee and I never lick my fingers while making food for other people. One day I will create my own coat of arms representing those two values. I'm a labourer trying to decide his next moves in life and excited to train his long dormant writing muscles. I like words and poetry and writing about trivial things in a serious way. There are a lot of strange birds chirping and hooting in the crypto-forest so I know I'll really have to pull up my socks to bring fresh material here.

I've lived my whole life in British Columbia in Canada. My earliest years were spent on a small farm with various birds and animals. My hobbies include language and playing the harmonica. I find it great fun to surprise people with a greeting in their mother tongue; a couple of words can go a long way. One thing that bothers me a lot is waste and there sure is a lot of it out there! Even creating empty content is an irresponsible waste of others' time. I'll be mindful of that as I learn how to improve the quality of my writing.

My content will be focused on creative writing and humour with brief interludes out of left field. I like the serious stuff too I just don't know as much about it! When not being funny I like to break things down and keep them simple.

Steemit is fascinating and I really don't understand it yet. I've picked up on the warmth displayed between many users and I hope that it stays that way as Steemit becomes more popular. I've been learning a lot since I began a few days ago and I'm happy to have found this unique community.

Thank you for reading my introduction; I'll see you out there!
