My first blog

Blogger. Blogging. Blog. Silly words for silly people.
As I begin to write this I can literally feel a Geek Pie sprouting from atop my head. It's all a bit Nathan Barley methinks. Don't get me wrong I like writing, it's not the writing that makes me feel weird it's the blogging. To be honest I always thought blogging was a bit arsey, something that was cool and exciting at first, but then became over-saturated and swamped with rubbish. A bit like the human race. I mean, who reads these things? Are there seriously people who lurch over their keyboards sweating anxiously as they await Darkside_Pikachu's scintillating new entry over how hard it is to pull girls if your spots have applied for planning permission on your face? Fuck it's happening already! I sound like a cunt!

In my first paragraph I've insulted the platform on which I'm speaking and also potential readers! What next? Rig a roving army of computer viruses to infect anyone who clicks on this page? Perhaps it's time for some humility.

Ray Fun Fact
I'm an idiot.
I'm the kind of guy who meets someone, scans them from head to toe and thinks "this person looks like a right loser" most of the time I'm proved instantly wrong and said person is usually really fun/friendly/cool etc thus forcing me to eat humble pie. ( Let me just add that if you're reading this and you know me what I just described definitely didn't happen when I met you, I always thought you were cool. Promise.)

A subsidiary of this idiocy is the inability to be recommended something by a real live person. If I read or just generally hear about something it's all good but if it's directly from someone's personal opinion box then it's all over. Seriously nothing makes my heart sink more than someone saying "Hey, let me play you this tune I heard, it's really good"
I really don't know why I'm like this. Once again I'm often wrong.

Being a weirdo I'm now starting to question my motivation for writing this so-called blog. I've also decided that everytime I write the word blog it's gonna be in italics. Blog.

Ok I'm pretty much just typing gibberish now so I'll close by saying I like writing, I've studied journalism, want to write a comic-book-trendy indie film-money spinning Hollywood blockbuster and when I tell people about my aspirations they normally say I should write a blog. So here it is.

Next time I might try and write about something interesting as opposed to giving you justifiable reasons to sever all ties with me immediately.
