The Beginning

So it begins....

I doubt if anyone who doesn't know me will read this - Hell, I doubt that anyone who DOES know me will read this - so I won't begin this exercise in self-infatuation by delving deep into my personal life, backstory or what makes me tick as an introduction to "me" (I don't think that even I care about those things) but I will lay down some basic, simple truths about who I am, primarily because its an easy way of moving into other territories...

I'm 18, I'm into reading, music, films, video games and since April 2008 I've been laid out with chronic fatigue syndrome which I won't go into detail about but it's involved an 8 month lie-in, an extended period of time with my family and an endless string of well-wishers (none of these things should be over-glamourised). I listen to a lot of music, a lot of different kinds - everything from the Delta Blues to Prog. Metal. And to my readership of 1 (you know who you are) the latter should not be sniffed at, the genius of Mastodon is undeniable, so don't try to deny it...you can't.

And that's all that I am. Christ, that was short.

I haven't created this blog to let others know how I'm doing, or to involve people into my life. It's just a place for me to vent, store and publish my thoughts, events in my life and bits and pieces of stuff that occur to me, some of it funny (or painful), some boring, some insightful - all of it useless. It's not going to rock anyone's world, but that's what the Stones are for (I told you it would be painful)

And that's it...are you as excited about this as I am?
