Initial

I've got to say that the first line is always the hardest. You don't want to start out like a dork, it can only get worse from there, right? So your beginning should have a bit of a punch, a bit of spark, a bit of something. Or you can just get down into it, which I think that I may have done here.

I guess the purpose of this blog is to help me figure out some things that are going on in my world, and to give me a chance to practice my typing. Also an opportunity to work on my grammar a little bit and maybe even try and expand my writing horizons. It can't hurt to have a journal type thing, can it?

The short term goal, though, is to have somewhere that I can post while I'm away that people can have a look at. I'm yet to figure out who I really want to have a look at this, because there are some things that I would rather some people didn't know about. Baby steps to begin with then.

I guess I'll have to get a funny picture to go with my profile. Maybe something "arty. Maybe something "ironic" (I'm not sure if that is an ironic use of inverted commas there either. I used to remember the word for them, but have since forgotten). Maybe a picture of someone else. Who knows.

In case you didn't know, I'm going away this weekend. Heading over to the Mother country. The United Kingdom. I'm going to be over there with my father, and maybe even my brother if he shows up. It's going to be a very long way and I'm not really too keen on travelling for 20+ hours next to my father. If you haven't met my father he is what you could call a large man, and I fear that the airline seats will lose the battle to contain him. I am fairly sure that there will be a bit of spill over. I hope that this won't matter to me too much though, I'm a big fan of getting on the plane, having a drink, having something to eat, having another drink then passing out for the rest of the trip. In-flight movies are for wussies.

Man, I am going to have to get used to this blogging type stuff. I mean, I would like it to be fairly conversational, but I hesitate to write up some of the stuff that I say. I mean, until I tried to write it down alot of what I say can be extremely offensive. If taken out of context, of course.

So, Saturday I leave, it is currently Tuesday, meaning that I've got a bit of time between now and then. I might even try and post a couple of times before I go so I can get the hang of this thing.

I'm going to go hunt for that "ironic" picture now. Ha!

Bye.
