Just getting started!

First read about blogs waaaaay back when they were still called 'weblogs' (blog being the shortened version of the word) and thought that it'd be cool to have one .. like an online public diary of your life. Blogs seem to have permeated online culture so much to the extent that this software wants to correct the spelling for 'weblogs' but not 'blogs'. I'm sure I started an account and made at least one posting back then, but I can't even remember for the life of me when/where that was (and no, it wasn't my alcohol-induced amnesia). Hopefully, this will be different and updated regularly.

Why do want/need a blog? In short, I'm opinionated. And I like telling people my point of view. Just ask some of my close friends and family. Sometimes I tell people my view or how I feel about certain things even when it's obvious that it's not what they'd like to hear. Sometimes I do it by mass email (not very often now). A blog lets me say what I want. You may not agree with everything (or anything) I say, but that's your right to do so and I value an intellectual debate. Sometimes, after hearing what someone has to say, I might even change my mind :)


I don't think I can talk about just anything here. Some things should remain private. So what will I talk about? Apart from mundane aspects of my life (this will save me writing mass emails hopefully), you might hear me rant about politics, football, history, medicine, news events, tv, movies, music .... not necessarily in that order. If I cause offense to to anyone, with whatever I write, I'm sorry. If you don't like what you read, go read something else. Respect my right to an opinion just as I respect yours, within the limits of human decency.
