Hello?

So, this is it?

The "Bloggosphere"? Or is that with one "g"?

Besides Facebook and an email address, this is my first deliberate attempt at entering the digital realm. And, quite honestly, I just clicked something by accident and decided to go with the flow. So it wasn't all that deliberate, either.

It was an amazing experience: setting up this blog. Turns out I could make the term "idiot-proof" into a misnomer. I spent about ten minutes trying to find my own profile.

I don't know whether anyone would intentionally read this, but I guess the first time's probably the best to make sure the other half knows your name.

The "SJB" stands for my full name, Sean James Bosman, which I've started using professionally.

James is my dad's name, so I decided to include it as a tribute to him. A sort of libation, if you will. Please feel free to just call me Sean.

I'm a television producer by profession, and that's about all I really want known. I don't want this to be a forum for my "professional" work. Rather, it's going to be more personal and aspirational. So please don't send me scripts or concepts out the blue unless you know for a fact it'll make me rich - in which case, feel free.

I've always dreamed of being a writer and have recently started submitting short stories to various small publications presses across the globe. The earliest reading period ends on March 31, so I can't actually say how well that's going yet.

The lady not in the photo with me is my lovely wife-to-be. Let's just call her ES until she knows about this blog.

We've bought a duplex home together in the slightly rougher side of Randburg - we've already caught some politically-minded individuals redistributing our wealth at 4 am one November morning. (They later returned and gave the contents of our home to their closest friends and relatives for Christmas 2007.)

Both of us love animals: four cats (two of whom are amputees) and two tropical fish tank, with an immortal Pleco named Connor (after that Scottish dude who runs around cutting off heads in "Highlander").

If there's anyone out there, anyone at all...

Good to make your acquaintance.
