Day one...

So this is a blog, huh? I just signed up, got my picture on the front page or whatever, and wahlah! Here I am entering my very first entry.

It's kind of strange, I have no idea who is going to be reading this. whether it will be my friends and family... future friends... future family? Who knows, maybe it will be people I will come to really, really dislike. But here it is. My "Journal" of sorts.

Apparently it has become social acceptable for men to have journals.

My main reason for doing this blog is to try and stay in touch, not just with my friends and family back in the states, but civilization in general. You see, I live on and island of about 130 residents in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It's part of a US Army installation and I work here as a civilian contractor firefighter/EMT.

To say life is pretty slow here would be the understatment of the century. But to make matters even worse. I moved here from Venice Beach near Los Angeles. Going from the tourist mecca of Venice, where 100,000+ visit each week during the summer to a community of 130 takes some getting used to.

So a big Hello to all! My name is Steve, and I'm counting on you all to help me stay sane.

Thanks.

Peace. Out...
