Ever since I saw Jimmy Rabbitte in The Commitments interviewing himself as though he was talking to Terry Wogan, I have done the self same thing, thinking that one day people might actually give a crap about my points of view on things. I wanted to be ready. Well, it's unlikely that I will ever get interviewed by Terry Wogan (not unlike Jimmy) so thought I'd start a blog instead.
Privately, I have been quite scathing of blogs, bloggers more specifically, of being just another excuse to over share the finer details of peoples lives that social convention would dictate stay within the confines of a diary. However, having recently been exposed to few well researched, interesting and funny blogs, I have changed my mind somewhat and thought I might try my hand at it. Not least because very soon I will be embarking on an Open University course which require me to organise my thoughts, research various topics and get it all down coherently in a written format So this is just practice...
I'm not promising I am going to be the funniest, most eloquent writer ever. (I'm really selling myself here, I know) I just like the idea that I can hone some of those pub based arguments where I was too drunk to form proper sentences never mind make well formed reasoned arguments. It's my chance to put out there the things that go through my mind when I see something funny, annoying, interesting etc and not be limited to a 140 characters in which to do it. Enjoy.
