A blog, eh?

I was about to start off by documenting my inexperience of the world of blogging, and how I'm no expert on neither their function nor scope. Then, however, I realised I'd sound like one of those gobshites that set up a twitter account and tweet "Don't even know what I'm doing here #lol #fuckmalife". I'm sure after a post or two it'll be like riding a bike, without the tax benefits.

Anyway, I decided to begin this after a friend by the name of cynicalundergrad linked me his blog. Another influence was the constraint of the 140 character maximum on twitter, (I've already tweeted about this, but you already know that because like all my other followers, you sit in bed at night, in the dark, constantly refreshing my page). People that I would not cite as influences for this blog include, but are not limited to, Newt Gingrich, Seve Ballesteros and Gnarls Barkley.

I'm not quite sure what direction this blog will take, if any. I'm quite similar to J.K Rowling in a sense because we've both spent the last few years pissing about doing nothing (in my case college, hers rolling around in Harry Potter's comestains). Now, we've both risen from the dead seeking to change the planet; J.K with her new book about class struggle and social tensions, and me with this blog about first world problems.

As the views on this blog inevitably grow exponentially over the next few days, and I decide to monetize it as the sponsors line up, I promise to remember you original groupies who read this shit before it went mainstream.
