It Begins!

Although I realise that I’m several years behind the trend with this whole blog lark, I felt it was time for me to actually start one. This unfortunately is indicative of my approach to life; I have a tendency to think over or rather over think doing something for several years, weighing up the merits but ultimately going for it when the moment has passed. Nevertheless, here it is: My Blog. The thing about it is I’m not really doing this for anybody but myself. I’m not sure I’m even going to tell anyone about this, so my relevancy as a blogger and when I started blogging doesn’t really matter. If you want to be a writer you need to write. That’s what I’ve been told anyway, so it’s time I put that into practise. So at its heart this blog is a way of forcing me to write, forcing me to think of short, hopefully interesting pieces that are potentially going to be read by actual people over the interwebs. Though in all honesty, since I'll probably be the blog's sole reader this will really be a an act of purist narcissism. On the off chance that anyone actually stumbles upon this blog, for your information, this will be a place where I will occasionally, hopefully regularly, talk about things that interest me, express whatever thoughts might cross my mind and even from time to time discuss my life. So, yes, this blog will be filled with my pretentious, pseudo-intellectual drivel but maybe you'll learn to love how I prattle on about nothing in particular in a vain attempt to justify my wistful self image of being in some shape or form a writer...
