It’s a narcissistic business, isn’t it? Writing your thoughts down and publishing them on the worldwide web in the vain (and it must be vain) hope that others will find your ideas interesting enough to click on not just once but again and again. That they will come to hang on your every utterance. Very odd indeed. And I’ve resisted for a long time, but – sod it, I’m not going to let my modesty and natural reticence (ha!) keep me from adding to the great pile of steaming verbiage that is the blogosphere, so here I am. Blog post number one.

And it’s a curious moment of potential. There are a lot – an awful lot – of neglected blogs out there. Blogs that people start bursting with opitimism, surging with the belief that they’ve got something to say and the world simply can’t go on without the benefit their words of wisdom. And, it turns out, they don’t have that much to say afterall. And, it turns out, the world goes on without them.

Will this blog become another of those stagnated little puddles in the vast ocean of comment?

It might… or it might not.

Come back soon and find out.
