So far in this blog, I've not talked about me as a person. Don't worry, I'm not going to! I occasionally go to the homepage of blogger.com and randomly select one of the "ten most recently updated blogs" from the list on the left. All to often, I end up with some angst-ridden teenagers self-obsessed ramblings.

... the Tangent now departing on Platform Five...
"I have nothing to offer the world. Maybe I should lose another 5 before the prom, or get a tan" - yes, an actual quote from one of the randomly selected blogs. Perhaps Little Miss Californian Mall-Rat should consider that in some parts of the world, outside cosy middle-class America, "losing another 5" happens to children because they have no food, and not because they believe all the -annorexic propaganda shit they (barely) read in teen fashion magazines.

Don't get me wrong. I've nothing against people being well-off, or middle-class, or teenagers. I've done all of those. But, I'm reminded of this very poignant article in The Onion, back in September 2001.

Aaaaarrgh I've just lost about an hour's writing. Stupidly, I though that if you click on a dialog box and then press the key combination to close that app, it'd close that application. But no. That'd be too much like the OS doing it's fucking job! No, instead, it closed my browser, in which I'm writing this blog.

...So The Producer Said To Me
I think Ronnie Corbett would have been proud of how far I've managed to side-track myself in this posting. I started off by saying how I wasn't going to subject you to too much introspection, and promptly descended into a mini-rant about just that. What I was going to talk about was my passion for music. I'll blog that next.
