The First of The First...
As the above name suggests, this is the very first post of my very first blog. My date of birth (or birthday depending on how formal you would like to be - it's the 01/01/1901) also carries the same theme of 'firsts'. This as you may have guessed, is very much intended. Just like my repetitious use of the word 'very' in the very first sentence of my blog (sorry I couldn't help myself!). On a serious note, the reason why I have chosen to run with the theme of 'firsts' is because I would like to put as much effort and energy into all of my posts as I would with my first. Previously, I had a great disdain for blogging and bloggers because I felt that they would air their views on things to which few people could not relate and commit outrageous crimes of grammar while doing so. I find that quite self-seeking and self-indulgent to be honest. Even though a blog represents humankind's (I'm genderless by the way) hedonistic and attention-seeking tendencies, it does not mean that it should not be coherent and grammatically-sound. I mean, it's arrogant enough that you're sharing your opinions and self in a way that suggests that the world should pay attention and care; but to then be careless in terms of what you say and how you say it, is just intolerable.
Hence, my starting of a blog. Instead of ripping every blog I read, semi-read or even quarter-read to shreds, I've decided to create one in the hope that I can 'be that change I'd like to see in the blogging world' and to see whether I succumb to the same pitfalls as other bloggers. I pledge not to. We're all guilty of hypocrisy at some or perhaps all our lives, but I vow not to be a hypocrite. Anyway, moving on to what I plan to discuss in my blog (gosh that is so self-indulgent isn't it? You'd think I'm planning a lecture of some sort. Something that will actually benefit the lives of others). I will most probably address a range of topics because I've noticed that human beings enjoy coming across as well-rounded individuals; so much so that they actually delude themselves into thinking they're genuinely interested in a topic, that they become interested in it. I would like to think I'm not guilty of that but if I do happen to be, what the hell? I'll detail my everyday observations and voice my opinions on topical issues. I'll also try to have fun because I do tend to be a little stiff when I want to. So yeah, that's it. Not the greatest post in the world, but at least it isn't riddled with grammatical errors. I hope! :P
Right so that's me for today or the next time I find something about which to write. I do struggle to end writing pieces and have constantly been told that my conclusions in essays are anti-climatic and banal to say the least. But I'm quite tired and want to watch some mindless television so I'm sure you'll understand.
Bye now :)
Oh and about the title of the blog, I am guilty of pretentious behaviour as are most human beings and I decided that papier-mâché best describes pretention because it is such a pretentious word. It's basically pulp pieces of paper and the word needn't be that pretty in my opinion.
