So I find myself here.
I know lots of people who write blogs, including good friends of mine. And although the idea has, on some levels appealed to me I've always felt that I am maybe not suited to life as a blogger. For a start, a lot of the blogs that I read online seem to be filled with pretentious bullshit, that should really remain in the recesses of the mind of the creator. And part of me feels that if I pour such scorn onto other individuals, then I have no right to go straight ahead and start posting my own pile of rubbish. There is also the question of what I should write about. Should I theme my blog? Use it to express some of my passions? Or just use it as a dumpster for my daily thoughts-create a lovely slagheap of ideas?
Of course, clearly none of this has actually stopped me-as here I am.
I guess in the end curiosity got the better of me.
Friends speak of feeling liberated through the use of their blogs, they tell me about a comment that some random individual has left them, and how they feel more connected to a 'wider society' as a result of it. They are, quite frankly, smitten with blogging. And I, for one, am beginning to feel left out. I have no idea if I shall achieve anything here-but I figure that I may as well try. So welcome, and apologies. This may be the worst blog you will ever read, it will most likely lack cohesion; on occasion I may (knowing me) descend into a self-indulgent ball of cringe; at times I am sure that I will get too involved in my own thoughts and will end up rambling about ideas and incidents that have no bearing on others, and are certainly of little interest-for all of this (and many other misdemeanors no doubt) I apologise in advance. Feel free to move along and find something else to read (let me know if you find anything worthwhile).
Maybe I will never get beyond this opening post...hmmmm. Nah-surely you wouldn't get that lucky!
