Hi, I'm currently sitting at my typewriter and bleeding. If you got that reference we should be friends :) but chances are you might want to walk away from this blog right now. Or wheel away if you're on one of those cool computer chairs, or a wheelchair, more fun, make the best of it you know? right i get the feeling i should stop before i lose myself completely and offend someone.
so yes the above reference was to Hemingway one the greatest, most intelligent and most profound writers ever to have graced the earth. He also sported a rather fetching beard which is always a google plus (no more puns I promise). And yes i do consider myself a Hemingway wannabe. my dream is to become a writer who writes novels that have a chance of altering the way somebody thinks or perceives the world even if just for a short while after closing my book. if i can gain a drop of the oceans of literary respect that Hemingway possess i will be happy. But as well as sounding like a pompous arse as you may have guessed by now i have a little bit of a silly side. meaning i think I'm funny, although i admit I'm probably the only one of that opinion.
so whilst my writing is something i take very seriously and try make as meaningful as possible this blog is where i go to let off steam. to write about whatever is interesting me this week, which will often take the form of reviews, which i love to do, or pieces that are a lot like moments in a class or a lecture where the teacher goes completely off topic and just wastes everybody's time. so as i said before if you are a massive Hemingway fan and are looking for a blog full of profound truths about the world then this isn't for you. but if your bored at work, if its one in the morning and your essay is due at nine am and you are just looking for a bit of escapism them hopefully you will find something you like. although that said i may also use this as an outlet to try out things to do with my writing so occasionally there may actually be something slightly intelligent to read.
though i feel i should warn you i am new to blogging (yes I'm well aware that blogging has been and gone as a craze so i like to think of it as arriving fashionably late to the party) so whilst, hopefully, this may be a treat for brain, it will not be a treat for the senses.
so thanks for reading this post and hopefully you may have read something in it that you liked, if you did please read it again :) if not tell someone you hate its really good so they have to suffer it! the next post will be a film review of the new release The Impossible it would be great if you came back to read that but until then find something else to procrastinate with!
cheers, Chad
