Greetings,

I started my website, (http://www.djej.org) a while ago to keep in touch with friends and family while I went to play baseball in the Arizona Winter League. Well, that was an amazing six weeks, but the website was popular enough to somehow not get blacklisted from cyberspace, so here we are.

I'm just an average guy who loves everything that life has to offer us. I see the benefit in maximizing life by forcing myself to live outside of my comfort zone. I've done my fair share of working, traveling, partying, dating, playing baseball, being a dog owner, and adventuresome things in my time on this planet.

I like to share my humoriffic point of view from the stories in which I find myself the main character. DJEJ.org is the forum for these stories.

I've formulated a philosophy that life is really about the stories we share. Friends, family, love, adventure, travel, etc...what is it you really take from that? Stories. Pictures and videos help compliment the story. But it's all in our perspective of the story. Two people who have the same experience can have widely varying stories about it. Another reason for my desire to encapsulate these stories is to remember them myself!

Why stories? Because I'm set to embark on something that's going to give me dozens, if not hundreds, of great lifelong stories and memories. I will take them to my grave knowing that I lived life to its fullest. I'm excited. Are you?

If you have questions, by all means ask. I'm sure there will be a fair share of haters that join us, so I would like to issue some guidelines to the haters: Keep it clean. Direct any and all objections to me, not to others. I'm a man. I can take criticism. I don't understand unprovoked attacks but they do happen. If you have an issue with anything I say, speak up.

But again, keep it clean as this is a family-friendly environment.

Granted, I may share some stories that are more adult than others, but I promise to include multiple and obvious warnings and disclaimers when I do.

Thanks for bearing with me, and thanks for joining me.

Enjoy,
Erik
