There is no fear, there is peace here

Hello World! It's very nice to make your acquaintance.  I have been wanting to meet you for some time now.  Getting here has been a long process, but I have to say it feels great to be here and to meet you!!

And if you just heard a loud ripping sound, that was the sound of a giant band-aid being ripped off my eyes.  I have been wanting, agonizing, procrastinating and delaying launching myself out there for WAAAY too long!  So, ready or not world, here I come!
