Things that Are Happening

I'm too lazy to go back and read my earlier posts to know for sure but i suspect i might have started this blog with some statement like - "i want to document what is likely to be an interesting period of my life" - which is all fine and dandy in principal. In practise though, recent events in my life have meant i just haven't had much time to write a blog.

"Excuses, excuses" i hear you say... but wait! I really am busy. In summary, my life over the past few months has included...

Relationship breakup, new relationship, move back to parents', living out of a bag to avoid staying at parents', organising selling a house, splitting possessions, promotion at work, booking/planning the most expensive adventurous holiday i've ever had, renting a flat, furnishing a flat... oh and generally getting a life.

You see! That's busy, and hard! I really do want to write a successful blog though, but i just never seem to be inspired to write about anything but me and my life and largely, i reckon people just aren't interested so i just get frustrated at my inevitable lack of readership and give up. Oh yeah, i really am i that needy...

Anyway, despite all my proclamations of being uber-busy, i did knock up this natty little blog design the other day while avoiding doing something boring at work the other day. Who knows if i'll ever use it but it felt a worthwhile design exercise seeing as i have nothing creative to do at work right now.

The First Post Post

This isn't really my first post. I've had a number of other blogs in the past, most notably with LiveJournal - not notable in the sense that anyone actually took note, just notable in that i was most prolific there. I have also used Vox and created my own Wordpress powered Football-(soccer for my American chums of which i have none)-themed blog that got spammed up good and proper and was quickly confined to the giant internet recycle bin.

So why start this blog now? I really don't know. I'm currently working on redesigning the website for the company i work at and as part of that i was researching blogging tools that i could integrate into the new site and stumbled into here. The allure of something i could sign in to with my existing Google ID was just a little too much to ignore. All in the name of work-related research though i must add.

This does seem like a ridiculous time to embark on a brand new blogging project though; shortly before Christmas, when enforced family merriment is thrust upon us and there just isn't enough time to be frittering it away reading/writing online. I couldn't even leave it until the New Year when i could dress it up as some kind of "resolution" to document my own existence for the whole of 2011 and beyond. That's just poor planning.

There's no particular reason for anyone to be interested in anything i have to say, but i will tell you this: I think i can be quite funny, and my life has recently taken a turn for the more-interesting after some significant emotional and physical upheaval i was brave enough to instigate myself... sort of. Who wouldn't be enthralled by that?

So, stay tuned kids, this could get interesting. Either that, or it could get left untouched until the next time i stumble into Blogger on the internet.
