What this is...

When I see a lot of drawings, I want to draw. When I watch a lot of films, I want to be a director. When I eat a lot of sushi, I want to be Japanese. And when I read a lot, I want to write.

I've just finished reading The Philosophy of Andy Warhol, which was a cool read, it was just a whole bunch of Warhol's thoughts on everything, from money, to fame... and well that's about it. He's rather two dimensional and boring, but it got me thinking. If people are willing to pay $10 for this guys thoughts, why wouldn't they be interested in mine for free. Pretentious much?

So this blog is essentially going to be a way for me to just write down my thoughts on things, for friends to read, so maybe we'll have something to talk about when we meet in the street. Also, if I have a tragic accident and it makes the news, journalists can go to this site and quote me. And this will save me having to do an autobiography when I'm older, I can just put all of this into a word document and hit print.

My posts may not be particularly funny, relevant, important or interesting. It's not going to have links to songs I like or any artwork I do. Just me typing about stuff.

I may lose interest in this pretty quickly, but I can work on it from work, so I may be able to post something every day. We'll see about that.
