My first post

This should be something profound, which will really grab readers' attention and retain them as return visitors.

I thought the whole blogging phenomenon was pretty much over - I mean, it's so 1997 (I got that date from wiki as the first known example of someone using the phrase as a verb and noun - what did people do PW {pre wikipedia}).

The only blog I've read recently is http://londonpreppy.blogspot.com/ . Give it a read, it's hilarious. I do worry about the writer's mental health ;)

I toyed with the idea of starting my own blog, I mean, I think I have a lot to write about. I'm a fairly unique individual, I must have thoughts that others would be interested in reading. But then everyone thinks that about their own thoughts, so isn't it really arrogant to presume they are worthy of being preserved for posterity in the electronic ether?

Meh.

Was chatting to my friend D about what I want to do in the future. As usual, writing cropped up. "Start a blog," he suggested. So I did.
