"Not much of what he said was original.  What made him unique was the fact that he had no sense of detachment at all.  He was like a fanatical football fan who runs onto the field and tackles a player.  He saw life as the Big Game, and the whole of mankind was divided into two teams-[Bob's] Boys and The Others.  The stakes were fantastic and every play was vital- and although he watched with obsessive interest, he was very much a fan, shouting unheard advice in a crowd of unheard advisers and knowing all the while that nobody was paying any attention to him because he was not running the team and never would be.  And like all fans he was frustrated by the knowledge that the best he could do, even in a pinch, would be to run onto the field and cause some kind of illegal trouble, then be hauled off by guards while the crowds laughed." -Hunter S. Thompson.

I don't really know why I started this blog.  I know that my thoughts and ideas are not origininal nor are they very interesting.  But sometimes I feel that if don't have an outlet for these absurd thoughts that run through my head I'm going to end up on a soapbox with a bullhorn like some reality deprived religious fanatic.  This is more of a therapeutic tool for me than anything else.  I can't really talk to my friends about the things I post on here because they will surely believe that I've lost my mind.  If my family does read this than I think that they will demand I change my name and move to Siberia.  I'm really not sure if anyone will read this at all and I feel a bit selfish to expect anyone to.  I'm sure all of you listen to people rant and carry on about things that you have absolutely no interest in every day. So why would you want to spend your precious free time reading a blog by some ordinary bloke?  I honestly don't know.  If you enjoy the things I have to say, excellent. If you don't, bummer.  This blog will cover many, seemingly random, topics so don't expect any rhyme or reason in my posts.  But I'm going to keep this introduction to my blog short. I still don't really know how this whole blogging thing works soooo... Until next time.
