why, hello

So... this is a blog. I've finally given in - given in to the temptation to provide disinterested strangers and bored voyeurs with Complete Coverage of my innermost fears, feelings and insecurities - or at least provide those of the above who aren't already watching a pretty girl on Youtube do the same thing. It was only a matter of time, I suppose - aren't all the coolest kids "blogging" now? I just had to get in before the backlash. To be honest, I'm not a hundred-percent sure where to start with this... I mean, my life is just terrible. I don't quite know how manage to I open my eyes and extricate my self from a tangled mess of sheets every morning without bursting into tears at the sheer futility of my own existence. When people look at me I can't stand to think of what they see behind these blue eyes. And let's not get started on how the world is black and nobody will fuck me and the only people who are really understand me are the fat kids in emo bands.


Just kidding - this isn't going to be one of those things. I don't even like the word - 'blog'. It sounds almost dirty, futile, too much like bog, slog, sod, fog, and cog (which is an awful connotation for those 'bloggers' who like to feel that by "getting around the media filter" they're really "pushing it to the machine, man") - it's another one of those awful twenty-first century neologisms, which of course started with the name of this decade. Personally, I'd like to refer to this as an electronically enhanced informative reading page. Rolls smoothly off the tongue.

Anyway, I'm just going to post cool stuff, maybe ramble on about bands a bit, hopefully in a lucid and not overly inarticulate manner, maybe some other writing, and, well, you never know what you're going to get if you're lucky. I could even try and make it funny - although admittedly I'm not actually any good at that.
