My first Blog

Decided to start a blog today as I´m an aspiring writer and this is surely a major step towards achieving my various writing related dreams (scribbling Oscar winning screen plays and writing for Red Issue football fanzine) and gaining a avidly fawning worldwide audience who laugh at my amusing recollections and admire my thought provoking sentiments. Or maybe not! No the real reason I want to start this blog is frustration. You see I´m a man who likes to communicate in written form, it allows more time and calculation to convey complex points and arguments, and there are so many frustrating issues in this world that require careful consideration and analysis, that each and every person should start their own blog and instead of launching into contradictory monologues about the peculiar and personal things that fuck them off, which ultimately get them nowhere and often encourage some other idiot to launch into their own rubbish diatribe, they could portray their tawdry antagonisms in a far more sophisticated and useful manner. A bit like the Daily Mail Letters Page.
Hmm...the Daily Mail, now that is definitely something that frustrates me. The fact that such a badly written piece of shite can generate so much influence and retain so many readers is something that I find incomprehensible. It´s not so much that I hate what it stands for, rather its the fact that it reads like a really bad student newspaper written by a bunch of loony far-right nutters who feel threatened by the increasing number of disadvantaged racial minorities gaining a place on campus and disgusted at all the drinking and fornication the rest of their alumni seem to be doing.
Anyway I´m getting way ahead of myself here and I´m not about to launch into the kind of emotional, knee jerk idiocy that I so despise just yet. No if I´m honest I´m really starting this blog simply because I love writing and doing so in the public sphere is good practise! This is a shite intro but it conveys certain points! Just to add to your already clouded picture of me: I have a deep deep love for certain things...football (primarily MUFC), film, good journalism and designer clothes. On these and many more subjects I hope to touch upon in the coming weeks, months, years ect.
On a side note I´m currently in Columbia (yes the one in South America), Man United have just lost to Barcelona in the CL final and I am truly fucked off my head! I´m sure I will regret this come the morning...but at least I´m up and running!
