A new beginning...?

Well then. The first experience with the blog clearly didn't go to well at all. I think mainly because I tried to document everything as opposed to just putting up the interesting highlights or random analogies. Made trying to post anything a pain in the arse and email was easier to rely on to keep people updated.

I was also somewhat opposed to blogs and I had an opinion similar to something I read by Scott Adams a while ago,

'When I see news stories about people all over the world who are experiencing hardships, I worry about them, and I rack my brain wondering how I can make a difference. So I decided to start my own blog. That way I won’t have time to think about other people.

People who are trying to decide whether to create a
blog or not go through a thought process much like this:

1. The world sure needs more of ME.
2. Maybe I’ll shout more often so that people nearby
can experience the joy of knowing my thoughts.
3. No, wait, shouting looks too crazy.
4. I know – I’ll write down my daily thoughts and
badger people to read them.
5. If only there was a description for this process that
doesn’t involve the words egomaniac or unnecessary.
6. What? It’s called a blog? I’m there!

The blogger’s philosophy goes something like this:

Everything that I think about is more fascinating
than the crap in your head.

The beauty of blogging, as compared to writing a book,
is that no editor will be interfering with my random
spelling and grammar, my complete disregard for the
facts, and my wandering sentences that seem to go on and
on and never end so that you feel like you need to take
a breath and clear your head before you can even consider
making it to the end of the sentence that probably didn’t
need to be written anyhoo.

If that doesn’t inspire you to read my blog, I don’t
know what will.'

Having now been through that same thought process, mainly point 1, I have started this endevour. I guess another main motivation for starting this up was reading some travel blogs from friends that were really good. So ignore anything before the 2006-07 financial year and enjoy...
