number one.

for me, this is challenging. my first blog entry and what on earth do i write about?

how's my day been? average. what am i up to? not a lot. do i have a huge urge to enlighten you about these things? not really. but here i am typing away like a stock analyst on speed having a go at giving you some interesting (well, i would hope so) musings about my life and the things that go on around me. stick with it.

there's a certain addictiveness that people have to mediums such as blogging and twitter and whatnot. just spurting out your thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness style rambling is comforting for some. who else would listen to you talk about what you think apart from the collective audience of the internet. i remember having an old (and looking back, rather cringeworthy) blog i used to keep as a teenager being a constant source of excitement, and my adolescent brain couldn't wait to get home from school and update the blogging community about how great afi are (or were, looking back) or my rather aloof tendencies to discuss my favourite flavours of ice cream. there was even a small community of us! who could post the most was a common challenge set amongst us aspiring bloggerteers. and the greatest thing is that we read each others blogs. i couldn't even tell you why! it just seemed pleasant to think that others had this same desire to spout nonsense.

well, here i am. 22 years of age, not so big an afi fan and definitely still a big endorser of ice cream. so what's changed? what's dragged me back to the blogging scene since my days of being a shy, awkward teenager? well, i feel i need to vent, share, explain and more than anything else attempt to make sense of this reasonably delicate period of my life. cynicism is taking over me like a bad rash yet i'll always be an optimist at heart, so balance is needed. also, i'd love a place to post all kinds of funny shit so i'm making the most of this opportunity for sure.

so yes. expect a blog that will primarily focus on my day to day thoughts yet delve into areas that have great impact on my life. music, football, politics, news, film. even video games and ice cream. i love my life, yet sometimes it gets a bit fucking deep. this, i hope, will help piece together all the loose bits.

one thing though, seeing as i was riding the nostalgia wave earlier. have a butchers at this. absolute tune of a song that was released ten years ago. TEN YEARS AGO? fuuuuuck.



night y'all.
