Hello,

Did you know the word 'hello' was invented purely to have something to say when you answer the phone?
Fun facts, with Sam.

Moving on,
I have begun this blog because I love writing. I've not created a blog until now because there seems like there is almost too much freedom with a blog. Unless of course it's on one of those sites that has a theme. Perhaps this site has a theme, and catagorises their blogs, I don't really know. Furthermore, how do people even become aware of a blog? Word of mouth most likely, or perhaps very cunning Internet marketing... such as facebook spamming.

I also imagine it's a popular vehicle for rants on various topics; everyone loves a good rant.

My goal with this blog is to try and defy all catagorisation; to create a blog so random and filled with non sequiturs that people may read it simply to see if something interesting has been posted yet. I wouldn't hold your breath on that one, it'll most likely just be stuff... well written stuff mind you, but stuff none the less. Actually, do I want that to be my goal? I just decided on it as I was writing this; seems like a pretty good goal, why not?

Hmm, maybe I'll go for a more condensed version of Qi, I love that show. Qi seems to focus on things that you expect have an obvious answer but actually don't. Ironically, that sounds a bit too restrictive for a blog, I don't know how many of those things I could come up with. Nah, I think I'll stick with my original goal and just write whatever comes to mind, or whatever is on my mind at the time, or whatever just recently fell off my mind.. into a puddle of irreverence.

I shall begin with #8. (because it's a random number, beginning with #1 has so been done)

- INCEPTION -

Good movie. I don't know if it was the fact that I hadn't eaten a lot and wasn't very well hydrated prior to seeing the movie, or the copious number of narrative layers, but I did get a series of mild headaches during my viewing. Despite this, I still had a great time, very engaging. Very original. There were a couple of moments where you felt that concepts were introduced to the audience a bit hastily and without sufficient spoon-feeding (as in the delightful training sequences with Ellen Page) but the film is so ambitious and tries so hard to impress you, you can forgive it easily. And the somewhat sudden reconciliation between Leonardo di Caprio's character and his love interest, although well written, seemed a bit of an anti-climax. Overall, well worth seeing... twice.



PS. Just like to give a shout out to JP, if he's managed to read this far you're an awesome human being.
