Is there anybody out there?
Don’t be daft—of course there isn’t. This is a brand-new blog, fresh out of the wrapper—nobody even knows about it yet.
The only one reading this post right now is me, and that’s exactly how it should be. We don’t want 100 weirdos at the bar on the first post—that would never do.
It would all be rather unseemly, don’t you agree?
This post is really just intended to break the proverbial cherry and get us rolling, so it looks like something is happening around here. Nobody really cares what the first post says, so I could talk about anything, really.
I’ve wanted to set up a personal blog for a while. Not for profit, not for any commercial reasons, and definitely not to impress anyone. I just wanted somewhere that was mine—a little corner of the internet to hang out from time to time.
If other people want to hang around here when they’ve got bugger all else to do, that’s fine with me too. Actually, I welcome it.
You might find it’s a refreshing change from doom-scrolling on social media or looking at endless photos of people holding drinks in the air in every post. (Ever notice how they do that on Facebook? How many pictures of people with drinks do we REALLY need to see? I know the answer—one, maybe two, but definitely not 100 of you drinking a beer at an airport. 😏) Or worse, every single night of the holiday with a cocktail that would get Del Boy “well-jell.”
Either way, the one thing I’m going to bring to this blog is personality. And apparently, according to Samuel L. Jackson (I think it was him), personality goes a long way—unless you’re a pig living on Green Acres.
If you’re reading this, I’m assuming you’re not a pig, so I’ll oink at you in the next post.
This post was a small step for Dean but a giant leap for… erm… farm animals that can read. Not you, Lassie, you smart-arse.
P.S. I’m aware that some people I know may end up reading this blog. I’m also aware I may offend a percentage of them, so all I’ll say to that is: if you open Pandora’s box, you can’t complain about the contents (not even on private messenger 😉).
