hello world


Cheers all,
After much deep and profound thinking I've decided to finally blog. Not sure if that's a valid verb but who knows these days. Not really sure what is going to happen to this space in the days to come and if the initial infatuation will last but there are apparently married people on this planet so I guess there's hope... for me at least.
What this blog will be about, I'm not certain. Expect the occasional political incorrectness, a dash of anti-social venting and the ever so often pun (described as the lowest form of humor by some). I'm pretty sure things will shape up once I figure what I want to do with this little bit of space.
The phrase quietly amused reflects my reaction to life and the world. When younger I was sufficiently bereft of social skills to be able to guffaw at anything or anybody I felt funny, absurd or even downright stupid. Now older and not significantly wiser I end up smiling politely to myself. Ergo, the phrase. Also ergo, this journal where many years of repressed laughter at the world around me may be expressed. An internal satisfation perhaps that I have said it. Like a great man once said, "It was all Hillary's fault."
That'll be all for tonight. Watch this space...

PS the title is for those who remember the earliest days of C.
PPS for those who don't, hello world anyway.
