Introductions Are Hard

Hi, SteemIt! My name is Jay. I've sat in front of this computer for an embarrassingly long time trying to come up with that "perfect" intro, but my wife helped me realize that this is just a starting point and it doesn't have to be perfect! That's the thing with me, I like to analyze, and often over-analyze things - especially things I do. If you've ever seen the movie, "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" there's a scene towards the end of the movie where Sherlock Holmes, played by Robert Downey Jr., looks around the room and is noticing and analyzing everything all at once and Noomi Rapace's character asks him, "what do you see?" To which his response is, "Everything. That is my curse."

That's me in a nutshell.

When I meet people these days it's hard to explain, "what I do." That's because for the past three years my life has been dominated by a very debilitating and complicated head/neck injury. I'm kind of under this Post Concussion/Myofascial Pain Syndrome umbrella - honestly, it's so long and hard to explain I'll just do it in its own posts. The super short version is - I've had a 24/7 migraine and various other pain/symptoms for the past 3 years. So, when someone asks, "what do you do?" The answer is, "I spend a lot of time on my couch/bed with my dog playing video games and listening to podcasts." 

I'm really looking forward to posting here. I think it's going to a be a very well-needed thing in my life. I'm hoping it will give me the motivation to get back to writing and to express myself. I've spent a lot of time in thought the last three years, and I'm ready to get those thoughts out. I definitely want to talk a lot about self-reflection and life dealing with life-altering health issues, but I also really want to talk about music, movies, games, really just whatever comes to mind. ![20180131_191809.jpg]()
