My first blog entry!!....I had grand ideas when I first decided to start writing a blog. Why I decided to start one is still a mystery to me. The idea came to me fully formed; like the birth of Athena, one day while in the process of reading another blog (hmmm...maybe a little too grandiose a comparison, but, sue me..its the only one I can come up with, at the moment!). For the nitpickers amongst you it was http://chroniclesofdementia.blogspot.com/ ..a blog written by one of my seniors at school!
I knew what i would write about viz. the things i love, again viz. movies, music, books (mostly fiction), foooood and a fairly recent passion - cars and driving! I even knew what to call it. What i didn't know is..why? Why would I write a blog? I am not a very interesting person! I know loads more interesting, more erudite, more sociable people. The fact that I know these people and recognize them as such only further drives home the point that I am just your average guy! I am not great at creative writing. I haven't written anything for anyone else to read and judge since my school days, which was the better part of a decade ago; unless you count the bullshit that spewed from my pen onto exam sheets during my 6-years in college and I believe that facebook posts don't count! So, again...why? At which point, I realized I didn't care! I wanted to write a blog for reasons undetermined and so I am!
It probably won't make a lot of sense to a lot of people (note here my arrogance/naivety...I'm already assuming that LOTS of people will read this blog! HA!!...btw that "ha" was future-me mocking myself!). I probably will get some flak for the name which makes a great deal of sense to me and probably only me. The entries in this blog will be random, have horrible punctuation and probably just plain suck!! But I don't care...for further clarification, I refer you the 4 line chorus of Fallout Boy's kickass song "I Don't Care".
So you can call it whatever you want...a mouthpiece, my 2 pence, the rantings of a belligerent fool!! But I'm here to write a blog...just don't ask me why!
P.S : Comments and critiques always welcome!! In fact I insist!!
