a first attempt

OK, here goes, my first blog... tra la la...

oh the dilemmas of what to write on my first entry... something deep and profound perhaps? or an explanation of why I have decided to write random things on a computer and put it on t'internet for all to see? or a description of what the many avid readers of this site can expect in posts to come? or indeed a long and detailed history charting every moment of my exceedingly exciting life ... hmmmm ponder ponder... brain cells clunking...

I really don't know much about blog blog blogging, and I've probably only read about 6 different blogs in my life, which likely makes me a somewhat technologically backward person in 2006... however I think I am going to attempt to learn all about it, become most wise, and win a weblog award... if such a thing exists...
hang on..... yup yup yup google, source of all information informs me that such a thing really does exist http://2005.bloggies.com/
wow... it appears i can also insesrt hyperlinks... the award is starting to look achievable... hmmm

there is something quite random about this blog malarky... at least when you write emails or letters they are at directed at someone, but here, well anyone can read it which must in some ways constrain/ influence what you write... do we live in a world where no one minds their Grannie, boss, and potential psycho stalker knowing their every action, location and opinion? or perhaps the more you write the less you care about what other people might be thinking about what youre writing... until your family disown you, you're sacked and dumped... but then i guess you would no longer be able to afford the internet to blog anyways...

this is getting far too complicated and could be verging on the philosophical... however the fact that people can spy on my published life and know all about what i want them to know about me is highly exciting.

over and out...


PS any guesses as to how long I can keep this blogging up?
