So much for the nerds.

Having the internet in my home ever since it started means I really should be down with the kids and have one of these crazy blog things. The internet at the start was when you had to use your telephone line and dial a local number to look at a teletext style bulletin board, remember that? No, just me then.

Anyway, I had a blog once, but it was really private, I went on there and had a rant about whatever was bothering me in my life. It was just a chance to vent really and I never actually published anything online and eventually deleted it becuse reading it back brought back many things I thought I'd forgotten about. And I didn't want to be seen as a geek who still kept a diary!

One of the reasons I never started a proper one was I thought only nerds and geeks and people with too much time on their hands kept blogs. Turns out, I'm missing something! And I hate to be missing something. There are blogs from every walk of life, of course there are nerds out there complaining that they don't have girlfriends, or even worse, a PS3, but there are some really cool and important people out there too. For example, ultragrrrl (I think thats the right number of r's) has just been voted one of the most influential people in New York because of her blogging exploits. She tells tales of her record label, the new music she's interested in and apparently, people all over the world are taking her advice and buying the records.

Other good blogs are on a much smaller scale. Quit your Day Job began as a diary of events going on within a group of friends, especially when certain members of the group moved away or went travelling. It was a great way to keep in touch. Now though, the friends are pretty much back together and the blog means that no drunken night out is safe, no more falling on the floor unnoticed or falling asleep at a party for fear of it being broadcast to the world.

So here it is, my blog. I have no idea what is coming next and I hope that keeps it interesting!
