Hello Steemit Community!

Hey there Steemit community! (I wish I took more updated pictures of myself, this one is from a couple years ago)

Anyway, I'm very excited to start a new journey here with this community. I found out about this place only a few days ago reading in the Toronto Star, and I have been toying with the idea for a little while now to get working on a writing side hobby for a while.

I'm 27, from Canada, I am a very dedicated Ottawa Senators fan, may start writing about them, and have in the past, but I am a self proclaimed news junkie. I'm a subscriber to Time Magazine and Toronto Star, and daily reader of CTV, CNN, and LinkedIn.

I have had an idea for the last little while about a different style of writing that you don't usually see, a very honest, and sometimes blunt writing style from someone who doesn't have a background in journalism and just writes from the heart and about controversial topics to get a conversation going. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not the type of person who is heartless or can't see other sides of the argument, I pride myself in being able to have a diplomatic argument an topic and will admit when I'm wrong. I've also wanted to try my hand at a weekly podcast recapping the week of what the internet blew out of hand as a more entertaining approach to news, hopefully I can roll that out sooner rather then later.

So hopefully you tune in when I do start writing, maybe a post this weekend about a drug topic that usually gets me fired up, and I can gain experience while helping this community together!

Thanks, Devin.
