Our Boggled Mind

I have read through many posts about writing blogs and they all kind of outline the same path, no one really wants to read someone else's journal.  They also state that ideally you should know who your target audience is.  So here I am, writing a post about myself and I have absolutely no idea who would be interested in reading these words.

I am a 30 year old male, I have had a bit of a rough upbringing but I can safely say that looking back from where I stand now that it has molded me into the man that I am.  I have respect, I am well mannered and I treat people how they treat me. 

My education did not get the full attention that it should have done to be honest, I have good GCSE’s, a few A levels and a college qualification for Computer Aided Drawing.  I had applied to go to 5 universities, I was accepted into all 5 but I then decided to change paths and start work.  I am not a writer by any means but I believe I have a small talent for stringing words together so that they look fairly pleasant on a page, I hope that so far you are in agreement.  I have wrote poems and song lyrics over the years but this is the first time that my thoughts will have been turned into words for others to see.

Why now?  I have been writing little things for many years and none of them with any real purpose or conviction.  My world has took a drastic change in direction in recent times and it has changed the way I look at life.  I no longer run through life at 100 miles per hour constantly looking to get my hands on something better.  What is the only way to tame a man? A good woman!  I am now the happiest I have been for a very long time because of her and I can now see that when you are truly happy and content you get to appreciate the little things that the world has to offer.

So what will I be writing about?  The inside of my head is like a whirlwind, there are so many things that spin around inside it is untrue, but every now and then something calming happens and a thought gets singled out for me to focus on.  I have strong opinions on many issues and I have the ability to see things from someone else’s perspective.  My thoughts can range from a warzone in Iraq to questioning the existence of an infinite universe.  I cannot give you a topic to which I will adhere to, I am not an expert in any field but I will bring up, give my view and debate many thoughts and topics that arise or puzzle me.  I welcome your feedback on my posts, I love to be questioned about my thoughts and by all means please put your opinions and views across. 

My next post will be something that I have put some thought into for quite some time, the modern meaning of life.  I hope that you will come back and read what my opinion is and then maybe give your own.



Thank you for reading this short initial post, it really is appreciated.
