First ramblings

Everyone has one don't they? It is the thing to do.

"Check my blog"

I'm not a huge fan of abbreviations, and I pretend to be indivudual and not follow the crowd. Clearly I use abbreviations as much as anybody else, and society's magnetic drag catches me every time. I sit here in Levi Jeans and a natty (some would say trendy) H&M jumper. A victim of (not-so-clever but nevertheless ubiquitous) marketing.

So I have one - a blog, or weblog, or 'blog (as pedants might say). It's alright because I know I'm only a part-time pedant, in the same way that I only pretend to be individual. What does mark me from others is the way I think, and the things I see as funny or worth noting.

Thankfully my task to be individual will be aided by my adherence to society's pointing finger, and I hope to use this blog to explore my life and thoughts. Hopefully someone else might at some stage read it, and enjoy the random nature of my life and the thoughts that transcend. Until now I have always resisted the 'blog drag' with the knowledge that it would be all too easy to use it to be manipulative, or to make a point, or upset someone who I know was following it. Let's see how I go.

As they say (but not me, obviously),

"Watch this space...."
