and we're off

So here we go, my first words... i suppose we should take baby steps? but i'm not really one for 'testing the water' more of the 'jump in the deep-end' sort of guy. Now that's interesting, i talk about one thing and it triggers another topic? deep-end.. water.. makes me think of drought and saving water? so i guess that's how this blogging thing works hey? but then... what of my initial idea... i still want to talk about how i rush into things and sometimes spectacularly fail.. eg. getting fit/losing weight/becoming active.. can't just start out lightly, you have to go hard right from the get-go !! and there is my dilemma.. i've now forgotten all the other tangents i could have followed. Maybe i should create some sort of order? Just last night Jenny said there were a number of traits that a paramedic usually shows.. a strong sense of doing things systematically were amongst them and i think that.. unless we're talking about my bedtime routine, i don't fit that profile, but no matter i'm sure we'll work through this.

I suppose i need to ask why am i doing this at all, what is my purpose in writing a weblog.. alleviate boredom? try new things? have a reference to look back on and see how much i have changed days/months/years from now?

If i asked this question yesterday or today.. would i come up with the same answer? strange that there is a chance that i don't know, that i don't really have any particular purpose/expectations, or even if there will be another blog(s) to follow, but i'll have a go and say.. this would be a way to get to know myself better. I have views, opinions, experiences, emotions, questions... all in my head that i may not otherwise come across unless through 'expressing' myself here and actually consciously addressing them.

Well up to you, come along for the ride if you wish.. you can get off at any stop? i'm sure some of the places we go to you may enjoy, find funny, find alarming or perhaps offensive. Maybe i'll share joy, sadness, anger.. I have no idea of what's going to happen myself so just a warning;

Reader Beware.
