Prelude

Do you realise how much time a person is able to waste online? I have decided, after sitting in front of the computer looking at nothing in particular for almost the entire day, that it could potentially be an amount of time as large as forever.

I have never really been one for blogging, vlogging, networking or even so much as keeping a diary up until now. In fact this is my first post. Ever.

After some thought, I've concluded that the reason for this is mostly due to an apparent ineptitude in making any cognition of mine mimic sanity on a page. In fact, previous attempts have generally found themselves in disrepute of their author after reading, and subsequently being deleted, realising they actually make me sound like a boringly broken hearted depressive, a derivative of communist, or some other kind of flat out crazy.

It's also a handicapping absenteeism of self confidence that has plagued me since birth, that anybody cares what rambles through my head, or could find amongst it even one iota of interesting. Such is it's wrath that also causes me to unsuccessfully play copycat to other people's individualism like the sad love child of a sheep and a lemming.

Hence following said tragic style, I have recently decided to start this blog of my own and force myself to write. Inspired in part by two of my favourite people I've never met - thank you babyporridge, and hayleyghoover. You both give me giggles that feel like warm hugs. Hopefully something I have to say can give the same to someone else and thereby negate the outcome of hours online as wasteful.

With any luck, I'll also stumble upon some individualism of my own; and learn to shorten my sentences along the way.

Thanks for reading,
Dan.
