Finally joined the minions

Well I have finally sucumbed to creating my very first blog and now of course I think of anything interesting to write. So I guess I should explain why I have decided to start a blog.

For about a year now I have enjoyed reading other peoples blogs and there are several reasons why I think blogs are a good idea:

1. They are a good way of recording what is going on at a particular time point in your life.
2. Leading on from point 1, friends and family can keep up with what is going on in your life without the need for regular long phone calls (which I never quite get round to making).
3. They provide a void into which you can spew your opinions and views without your friends and family getting bored of listening to you whinge on (they can just skim read those bits).
4. It is good practice to write in a way which is accessable in all areas of life and I think keeping a blog encourages this through the abuse which is inevitably posted by the readership.
5. You can be in a blogring.
6. People who know nothing about the interweb will thing you are cool and mysterious (on the otherhand people who do know about the internet may well think you are shallow and a bit of an idiot depending on what you write).

Anyway there are probably loads of other things which I think are cool about blogs but suffice to say that at the moment I think I have quite a lot to say and I am going to say it whether anyone listens or not.
