About

It has become something of a tradition in my blogs to right about the blog as my first post. I say tradition, I have one blog and I did it then. That’s a 100% hit rate, but then in my other blog I also said the word twat in my about page and I certainly don’t expect to repeat that on a family friendly blog like this one…

So…

I started a blog about my biggest passion (Football/THFC: tottenbloghotspur.wordpress.com) and I quite like it. And since none of the… peop… erm, person that read it has given me bad feedback, I immediately have the bug for the blog.

It seems I am particularly adept at talking about things in the first person and immediately, that suggested to my simple mind that I need to dispense opinions on other things. First thought… A music blog… YES! I listen to music, I like it even. Always thought that’d be a wicked career. Hmm, but it would mean listening to lots of music… not just any music, lots of new music… and not necessarily new music by bands I like listening to. If I was going to do it seriously, yes I could start with the new Incubus album, since it’s new and I love Incubus. But then I might have to review something by Britney Spears, or maybe I could focus on a genre, but then I might have to listen to a Muse album all the way through. Now don’t get me wrong, Muse are excellent musicians and make good music, I have simply developed a violent allergy to Matt Bellamy’s incessantly whiney voice. An allergy so violent my head explodes after 18 minutes of non-stop listening. It’s happened twice before, I won’t let it happen again. Not only that, with all of these different musics to review, how will I find time for my daily routine of listening to ‘Flying Without Wings’ by R. Kelly on repeat for half an hour before singing at the top of my voice to Backstreet Boys’ seminal classic ‘Backstreet’s Back’. Quick answer, I won’t, and that simply won’t do.

On to the alternatives… yes, movies! I’ll blog about those. Hmm, not cheap and I’m too lazy to get to the cinema. Politics! Well, yes, but I can’t really review politics and despite my interest, my growing apathy for the subject and its main protagonists increases with every passing scandal. Cars, food and computer games have all since fallen by the wayside in a similar fashion leaving me with an itch I simply can’t scratch.

But then… EPIPHANY MOMENT! Sudden enlightenment dawns on me, the world makes sense again and a short fat woman bursts into song in the middle of the street, compelled only by the revelation which has happened to an opinionated man in front of his PC. Why not review everything? Well not literally everything, but anything and everything which crosses my path and which I fancy spending my valuable time banging on about. I mean, I know that a blog dedicated to passing opinion on Manga movies, or Post-Hardcore rock music will have a captive audience that will keep coming back for more when they inevitably realise – my opinions are the only ones which matter, but I simply can’t be arsed to constantly write about one thing. So I might as well review the stuff which I come across on a daily basis?

So, if you want to find out what I think about the last comedy show I went to or the razor I currently use to shave my face, or whatever else I want to either recommend or discourage you from consuming then this is the place for you.

If you have read my Spurs blog, or more specifically, the ‘About’ page of that blog then you will note that I am not the most reliable of bloggers, I am rather opinionated and I will find an excuse to mention the fact that I am the proud owner of a Meerkat* if at all possible. That page is actually rather good at giving a general overview of my opinions on blogs (they are shit, except mine of course), myself and, Spurs I suppose.

*Sort of, well, no… I’m not, but I am the parent to one in the same sense that anyone is a parent to an adoptive child, except that I’ve never seen my Meerkat in the flesh, he probably has 80 other mummys and daddys and the only proof I have of my claim is a certificate from London Zoo.

I should add, I am a Samsung Mob!ler. This means that I get extra access to Samsung Mobile products and on occasion I am provided with products in order to allow me to review them. My views are my own and there is no editorial bias or input from Samsung.
