“This is a shout out to all my homies, my momma, and Jesus! Word to your mother.”

This quote—by Ghandi, if I’m not mistaken—describes the basic purpose of this website in a nutshell. TheJINX is essentially a way for me to share my experiences with family and friends without sending out numerous mass emails which, let’s face it, are bad for the environment.

Now some of you, at this point, have probably begun to realize that I wasn’t just trying to get attention when I said that I was leaving the country for two years. Others of you have most likely found my detailed instructions and are currently building an exact replica of me—my doppelganger if you will. To those dedicated few, I say, sorry you had to buy all those meat patties but you can stop now; I have created a website, and in this cyber day and age that’s about as good as having the real person right in front of you…and twice as good as any meat patty replica, I’d imagine (again, sorry).

For others of you who stumbled upon this site while researching for a "college paper" (suuure you were) I say welcome to you too.
