Why I thought this would be a good idea...

To be honest, I have always been very cynical about blogs. I wont go in to why.
Recently, however, it dawned on me that the people who happen to be my friend on Facebook dont actually want to hear me ranting and raving all the time, and even my mum mentioned to me I should probably tone it down a bit.
It seems people use Facebook to air meaningless self indulgent tripe (probably me included) than actually discuss anything worthwhile. I have absolutely no problem with this, self indulgent meaningless tripe is kind of essential, but one observation I have made about myself is that I seem to have opinions on lots of things, that I seem to want to air in some way (usually after a few pints to a poor innocent individual who has no care in the world for what I have to say).

So rather than repeatedly airing my views on Facebook or to peoples faces I thought I would set up this blog to put down thoughts, opinions, topics of debate in a more channeled way. I have decided: I am no longer going to use Facebook to inflict my thoughts on to others.

I must say, I kind of feel like a total tool doing this and if I was reading this by someone else my thoughts would be so ludicrously negative its not even funny, but hopefully by doing this I can:

- raise some thought provoking points
- save my friends on Facebook from reading things they never really signed up for
- learn a few things
- channel my opinions in a more constructive way

So, lets see what happens. If you fancy reading then awesome, if not, no worries and if you think I have an over-inflated opinion of my own opinion then I dont really blame you.

I am off to have a Lamb Chilli Massala and a 4 pack of Heini's with my wife, and think about how in my next post I can intelligently explain why I hate the Daily Mail so much.
