Baa, Baa, Blah

The first entry on a brand new blog, it occurs to me that this is a very auspicious occasion similar to a wedding perhaps. The first post is like the wedding night in the sense that you get a good idea what the future will hold by the success or lack of it, of those first few hours in a newly forged identity.

Well this is a new identity for me and these first few moments of my new life are full of nerves and anxiety, more so than on my own wedding night but I guess I am stone cold sober on this occasion. The reason I am nervous, apart from the lack of strong drink is that I am very aware that with the millions of blogs to be found on this here interweb, I have nothing to say or no way of saying what little I have to say, that is either new, or different, or any more insightful than any of the other blogger.

"So why bother"

"Good question, bad answer"

"Because I can and want to and I have the time"

So why should you return to this blog?

I hope in the lifetime of this blog, those who look in will find something of interest, or amusement, or something that makes their blood pump faster and either through rage or excitement join in discussion with me here, or in their "real" world lives.

My interests are varied and so are my thoughts and how deeply I express them.

I am political with both sizes of P, but in general think that Political parties take the pee. I am a democratic fan of people doing what they are told. I believe in free will and self determination, but think the free market economy has turned us all in to selfish drones.

Mainly though I am writing it for both the challenge and the people that I hope to meet on the journey. Speaking of people I am aware that I have said little about myself in terms of personal details, you will find out all you need to know and probably loads that you feel should be kept private as topics and moods take me.

I will try and master the techno gibberish to add links and stuff but I draw the line at photos and videos, however don't let me stop you if you have stuff that you think fits the blog.

The large cast of characters who play parts large and small in the musical that makes up my life will be introduced to you again as and when I get round to them.

Yep I kinda knew this was gonna turn out long and dense, stick with me though as I learn to blog and write shorter pieces. Or better yet come back and tell me things that I already know but from your point of view.
