First Post

My First "Blog" post... wierd.  I think at first I'll be getting acclimated with everything and trying to get into the habit of keeping a bit of a log, so this might not be a particularly riveting post. 

At any rate, I'm excited to have an outlet.  I hope to use this site to showcase some of my personal work, and to use as a place to get a lot of whats in my head...out!

I'll start by introducing myself.  My name is Wes, which is why the site is called "Westhmus"... my way of trying to be clever by tying my name into the word "isthmus" (small/narrow body of land connecting two larger bodies of land.  best example i can usually think of is the country of Panama).  This site is where I'll be able to take various aspects of my life and my self and connect them. 

Anyway, back to introductions.  I'm currently 28 years old, but still consider myself very much a kid.  I love to travel, explore, create, and perform.  I love to learn, and I never consider myself "finished" learning.  I am consistently enthralled with hearing people's take on arts, culture, politics, or just about anything!  I've traveled a bit through Asia, Europe, and North America, and look forward to all the places I will visit in the future.

I enjoy ameteur photography, video editing, sketching, and musicianship.  I really just LOVE creating things, I think all the legos i got as a kid might be to blame!  I even contributed in the creation of a game on the app store.  Check out my brother's website www.rosswlewis.com for more info on that (its called search party) .  My brother and i also both love playing games so it was really awesome to finally be able to make one ( a dream since we were kids)

Its getting late here, so I'm going to sign off now, but I'm very excited about my new corner of the web!  

Later!
