As the more astute of you are probably aware, I've finally shifted my proverbial arse and acquired myself a Blog. Hooray me.
I've had some experience with blogging before, albeit on the thinkers paradise that is Myspace. The results were - as one would expect from a site largely populated by tweenagers and, let's be honest here, total morons - pretty disappointing. My first entry, a disjointed, spur of the moment rant about the unprofessionalism of the mainstream media, went down about as well as the Hindenburg. Subsequent entries were limited to a copy & paste of a frustrating debate I had with the president of Prog Rock Records on filesharing, and my plans for building a PC. The former garnered a staggering one comment, a standard "I don't have anything useful to say, but you're my friend so I'll add a comment anyway" response. The latter was a mite more successful, with around 4 responses. The first one informing me that, in my ignorance, I was planning on purchasing a CPU that wasn't compatible with my motherboard. Useful information to be sure, but hardly the earthshattering breakthrough into Internet Superstardom that I was hoping for.
I'll try and be optimistic for this new endevour. Hopefully I'll be able to snare a few more unsuspecting readers by broadening the range of topics of discussion. With any luck people won't be put off by blog entries that last more than a few paragraphs discussing the intricacies of Workers Militias in an Anarchist society (I sure know how to entice readers don't I?). Fear not, if politics, history etc aren't your thing, I shall be posting some more whimsical material (read: rants about nothing in particular), along with reviews for whatever films, music, books and anime are occupying my thoughts. In fact such content will probably make up the bulk of this blog, being as shockingly lazy as I am. Reviewing the latest Coldplay album, though it may require some effort, doesn't need a small research grant to complete.
I could probably waffle on at you for another few paragraphs, but I'll spare you. I wouldn't want all of my potential readers to fall (asleep) at the first hurdle.
