Its strange how a change in your life – however small – promotes other changes, ideas, even projects to emerge. So today, having finally been driven to change my laptop by the smoke coming out of it and its inability to do anything even slightly complicated, I paid a brief trip to town and bought a mac from the nice man in Morgan Arcade. I should clarify this was actually in a shop, he wasn’t just handing them out or something. Like a sort of very well-off Big Issue seller – Big Mac, get your Big Mac here… Or maybe a chicken burger. I feel that idea has got away from me somewhat. Anyway, did I mention I have a new mac? (Oh, I did, good.) Now where was I…
This is in fact my second – but hopefully first frequent blog. The previous one quickly degenerated into a series of in jokes, inane ramblings, pontifications and contemplations of my own mortality – and all at the tender age of eighteen. (And don’t ask how this one will be any different. For a start, I’m twenty now!) Anyway, that aforementioned venture into the Blogsphere, Blogspace, Blogamatic, whatever you wish to call it, was hosted on Bebo before it went Chavtastic, feel free to check it out if you, dear reader*, ever feel the need to indulge in unnecessary teenage angst.
Of course, the chances are that this Blogathon will be just as short lived as its predecessor. This is especially pertinent since I have a time-absorbing combination of exams, essays and general hubblah to deal with. But I guess a sense of futility, inertia and politeness forces me to somehow set out what I’m going to be blogging on about. This blog will feature, possibly:
Random musings and plots to take over the world.
Big projects and their inevitable failure.
Occasional techie geekness about how good my Mac is (did I mention I’ve bought a mac?)
A generally supercilious, arrogant and impertinent study of life around me.
Rants, moans, complaints and other expressions of political opinion.
Possibly poetry.
Umm…
So, dear reader*, I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I do writing it. Or probably quite a bit more given how turgidly rambling the first (and probably last) post has been. Though it probably doesn’t matter since it is – in the words of Stephen Fry, in a film the name of which I’ve forgotten,
“Probably just another project with which I’ve littered the decades”
Be happy, have fun and sleep well.
