Round three, fight!

So this will be the third time I’ve tried to maintain a blog, with the first still being my most successful over at LJ. Well, lucky number three and all that jazz I hope.

I’m mainly going to be using this as a soapbox for whatever I feel like writing about at the time. I may post snippets or short stories here, I may not. I’m currently wallowing in the well of indecision at the moment, woe is me.

One thing I would like to know is why we can go to the moon, send probes to Mercury, build robots that look so lifelike it’s impossible to tell the difference between them and humans, and attach bionic limbs to people, but we can’t find a simple cure for the common cold or a stomach ache? I mean seriously guys, you’re letting the side down, but more importantly you’re letting yourselves down too.

For anyone reading who doesn’t know me, I’m a 21 year old man who has delusions of competency. I work as a media journalist at the moment, but I’m planning to segue into newspaper journalism through taking the NCTJ preliminary certificate while I work in London town, freelancing in what little time I’ll have remaining after that. For the moment though, I’m still living in sunny Bournemouth and drinking far too much. Huzzah!

But seriously, there’ll be a range of topics here from politics, to work, to science fiction, to films and whatever tickles my fancy. Read it if you enjoy it, comment if you have something to say, or alternately you could just think fuck it and have a cup of tea and a sit-down. The choice, as they say, is yours.
