Hello anybody. I have decided to try out blogger for a new blog, and see if I can manage to keep myself going with it on at least a semi-regular basis. I used to have a blog elsewhere, but after a while, I found that no-one was reading it, no-one was commenting on my posts, and that basically made me decide to stop using it. It's not so much that the people who read it didn't appreciate it; the problem was there were only about 5 people who ever looked at it, and only 2 who ever commented on it.
So, here I am, starting over and attempting a new blog. First off, I guess I should tell you a little bit about me.
I was born in the late 60's (so late, it was just days to the 70's) in a small town not too-too far from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I grew up in and around Toronto until I was around 16, then moved a few hours north to the town of North Bay. After completing high school and college, I moved to Ottawa (Canada's capital) to work as a computer programmer and systems analyst, then moved to the states briefly (Omaha, NE and Seattle, WA) before returning to Ottawa to be with the woman who eventually became my wife.
In between birth and now, I have been to a few places, seen a few things, experienced a few experiences, and developed an opinion on many things. I do find that some of my opinions are fluid, and I can occasionally see both sides of an argument, but every so often, I see my side and I am convinced I am right. I know, that's called being human! I do enjoy writing, and find that most of the time I speak in a very loose prose, especially when blogging and that kind of thing. I like to just say what I would say if I was talking to someone and just opening my mouth and letting the words spill out until there was nothing left. I do occasionally edit what I write, but for the most part, it comes out just the way I wrote it the first time. And, I usually don't plan what I write for my blogs to much extent - I have ideas of what to say, and I start with the idea and expound upon it like there was no tomorrow. Like this paragraph. Time to stop!
OK, interests (what is this, a dating interview?): hiking, biking, inline skating, playing piano, writing music, recording music, listening to other people's music, learning new instruments, reading other people's stories, writing my own stories, playing computer games, watching sci-fi movies and TV shows, watching other TV shows not sci-fi (and a few movies in that "genre" as well - there are two genres: sci-fi, and not sci-fi). I am a cat person, though I do like dogs too and have owned dogs before, but for me, a cat is truly a best friend or a bitter enemy (I may blog about that some day). I'm a Capricorn, love the colour green, and... OK, yeah, this is starting to get silly now.
At this particular moment in time, I don't have anything else but this introductory post to offer, but I may come up with something to just drop in here later on. If no-one looks at this post, then no-one will ever know! If anyone drops in, be sure to come back sometime and see if there was anything interesting that I may have had to say. I will talk about current events, news of the weird, the local radio station (the morning show used to read my old blog when I talked about them - mayhap I will get them to drop in here sometime as well), the TV shows I like and watch, music... you know, whatever! And if you have anything to say about anything I have to say, I always enjoy hearing other people's points of view.
Catcha on the flip side!
Cheers!
Slyde
