First post

Having outgrown the micro-blog, I felt it was time to try my hand at an old-fashioned proper blog. At this stage I cannot say whether I will actually ever post anything, but I am currently sailing on a wave of enthusiasm and optimism- so maybe I will.

My main issue when it comes to writing blogs is my own cynical, overly critical view of other people's self-indulgent and banal postings. For every post that I do manage to publish, I will have gone through an excruciating process of self-vetoing and editing, no doubt resulting in diluted paragraphs of inoffensive, but nonetheless self-indulgent piss.

I also seem to have a problem with establishing the correct tone. When I read my own words, they seem to either jar, like hearing my Dad swear, or sound like an impression of someone pretending to write a blog like a real person.

Anyway, my intention is to write about the usual things that people write about: things I like, and things I hate.
