Here I am. Sat at my computer at silly o'clock at night. This habit of mine has become more frequent over the past month or two. A few weeks ago you could reason that this was necessary, after all university tests don't get smashed by themselves. But this is the 30th of December, and I don't know of many educational institutions in the western world with semesters up to and including New Years. Why am I here?
In this sleep-deprived state of mine I don't have a fully formed explanation, in what feels like a first. I could conjecture that I feel the need to communicate the things that are on my mind but this is not an urge that you could characterise me with. My mental exercise involves solving puzzles of a logical nature with a side order of philosophical thought, with the puzzle of bringing together the most effective words to convey ideas more or less relegated to updating my CV, or figuring out what to say during intern interviews. It is likely that those better versed in English Literature have probably come to this conclusion before even finishing the first sentence, in which case I'd give credit where such is due.
This is not a blog about soul-searching or trying to figure out who I am and such. I've been doing that for the past 4 years, and haven't felt need to write about it, and could never be bothered to remember it and write it down here either. Nor is this a boring egotistical fact sheet about myself that will be of interest to no one. There are paper diaries and word editors for that kind of drivel, away from the danger of boring a poor unsuspecting web surfer.
Rather this is about expressing thoughts and ideas on daily life, which I can only do through my own experiences. Knowing me, these will include my opinions on grey areas or controversial subjects. I make no apologies for this, and I am brutally honest in the things I say, even when referring to myself. I hope for it to be enlightening before anything else.
It is now 4.30AM (GMT). How I've lasted this long is anybody's guess. Either way I'd best be signing off for some kip. Enjoy
