Introduction/ The Inevitable first post
Well, I’ve finally decided to get off my ass and write a blog.
I guess you could say I’ve had an idea forming in my mind for something like this for a while, and while one temporary blog worked (Hand Luggage only – Cliff Notes from America), I haven’t got up and actually followed my good friends Dan Thorpe (danthorpeisageek.wordpress.com) and Justin Barlow (www.rroarm.com) into the blogosphere.
But now that I have, and I am here for what seems like a as-near-to-permanant basis as possible, I gotta say it feels good. However, let me lay down my 2 rules.
1. I make no pretense at being a saint. I swear when something doesn’t go right, or it hurts or whatever. I also do have the capacity for a very immature sense of humour. If you’re easily offended: back off and go play My Little Pony or something. Seriously kids, if I had the option to put this on a M15 category I would.
2. I’m a geek. Sure, the majority of my posts will be about the oddities of life, but theres a few that won’t be and will revolve around my geeky passions. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Okay, now that thats over, on with the show….
—————–
I guarantee a lot of the first questions from readers will be ‘But Nate….why choose the name you did?’. My answer to this is simple, but in a very long winded for: When I was young (about the age of 6 or 7) there was a show that came on TV about 8:30 at night called ‘this is your life’ for a bunch of famous and old people having their life being chronicled and meeting their kindergarten teachers (who were usually living proof that dinosaurs once existed held up by whatever stuck in their teeth for breakfast that morning). I’d just like to say for the record that I hated that show, but something struck me.
In Essense, yes this is our lives. However, I’m putting my own footnotes in through my ramblings of my own life. My wish is that after every post someone who’s read this sits up and goes ‘Hey, thats kinda like what I went through’. Put simply, this is a narration on life from someone like myself; it has its ups, it downs. Its downright crazies and the times it makes perfectly sense.
I’m just glad you could all join me for the ride…..
