In the Beginning

I'm easily distracted.

This afternoon I went online with the intention of shopping for some videogames. Within half an hour I ended up on a personal web site I'd initiated through Google sites over a year ago - and never done anything with - and started to write something on it. Midway through that I noticed Googles' Blogger and suddenly decided it would be a good idea for me to start one.

Why? I don't know.

I like writing. I'm not particularly good at it but I enjoy it. Also Twitter is partly to blame. I joined it in a similarly random surfing session some time ago but it's only recently I've really started to use it. It's becoming addictive but I sometimes struggle with the 140 character limit. Actually, make that often. One option would be to bombard strangers with multiple numerically sequenced tweets to get your message across. A link to a blog post may be slightly less annoying.

Whatever the reasons behind it, here it is. Future topics will definitely not include the meaning of life, religious philosophies or sports of any size, shape or form. It will cover videogames, films, tv shows, humorous things and assorted other random topics that catch my eye from time to time. Occasionally I may rant a bit, frequently I will moan about stuff and now and again I may even praise something. I may also put up a few random pictures of things I like, hence the DVD cover below.

 
I've just realised I haven't said anything about who I am. Well, since I've spent far too much time perfecting my Twitter bio I may as well give it another airing here ... "New father, old gamer, viewer of film and tv, fan of John Carpenter & sci-fi stuff. Mostly harmless. Hate sport. Roll on #GTAV and wireless electricity."  That pretty much covers the essentials. Oh and please excuse the hashtag.

Well, for better or worse, the ball is rolling. If you care to find me on Twitter I'm @theademartin but for now, if you'll excuse me, I have some videogames to buy.
