My First Blog, New from Fisher Price.

This is a Blog. A Blog born of boredom, frustration and redundancy. Given, that’s not a normal formula for literary marvel, but we’ll see what we can do. Read by nobody and dismissed by those who venture beyond the URL, this will not be a success.

So why bother? Well, firstly there’s me, a 20-something Dad bitten on the arse by a global recession. ‘What better time to reinvent yourself than during economic meltdown?’ I thought. Left in the cold by the dizzying world of ‘employment’, I have decided to plunge head first into a new career, starting this September as I pack up my satchel and head off back to college for a course ambiguously described as ‘IT Systems Support’.

Next, there is my interests. My likes, my hobbies. The things I enjoy. Well, I’m into technology, gadgets and gaming, three sufficiently covered areas in the blogosphere. But wait, there’s more. The postcode lottery designated me a Nottingham Forest fan, so obviously I enjoy catching a glimpse of top class football whenever possible. Of course, I would also describe myself as an observer of good television, a listener of good music and reader of good books. All manner of things to make me sound as normal, as generic and as wonderfully hip as possible.

So that’s it, my blog. Something to call my own. Possibly a path to enlightenment, most probably meaningless rambles, certainly something to pass the time. Let’s see how things go. In the wise words of Professor Brian Cox, ‘thing’s can only get better’.
