Starting a new blog

I have decided that I might try and keep a blog again.

I have not had a particularly good track record with blogs in the past…..

There was the Flibbit acount I created when I was in my first year at University. This blog came to an ubrupt end after it brought the demise of my best friend's engagement. (It's ok, it turned out for the best, but I was young and didn’t realise that there are things that should not be publicly posted on the internet)

I had a weight loss blog which I used to update with a photo of my fat rolls spilling out of poorly fitting underwear, as inspired by these hideous weight loss programs that popped up out of nowhere about 5 years ago. I stopped this when I realised that most of these shows were “artistically” edited to prove weight loss via image manipulation, and that the pictures I was uploading were verging on some sort of niche market late teen/early twenties fatty porn.

I had another blog that I started when I got into my first serious relationship. I decided to put an end to updating this one when I realised it was turning into vitriolic hatred directed at the Ex, when the relationship went tits up 4 years later.

I had 2 other blogs which also died a death when I realised that I didn’t really have that much to blog about any more.

It was at this diary sparse point in my life that I decided to up sticks, move to the other end of the country and live for every moment (well except this moment where I’m sitting in my messy flat writing this).

I have suffered the opposite problem this year. I have been doing so much cool stuff, I have actually had no time to document any of it.

This is where twitter came in handy. Technology had finally brought us the ability to load 140 characters of quick memos and musings that can be updated using a portable device.

These days however, I am constantly battling with the character limit. I just can’t bring myself to use txt spk lolz which is why I have decided to make use of the original online services which were originally created to allow you to write as much as you like.

So here we are.
