Gah! First blog, beginnings and all that…

Gah. This is the first blog of this fledgling creature. Explanations are required, if only for posterity and archives. I fully expect this blog to bring me fans worldwide. You probably won’t get any explanations, but beginnings are important. So, I was winding my way up from Rosmead Place to Union Place on my way to hook myself up with some lunch, and was mulling as to how to write this first blog. It’s a fairly nice day, gentle breeze, not too hot and believe it or not, a number of exceptional ideas occurred to me. Sadly, my memory is like a sieve for good ideas. I forget them almost as soon as I’ve thought of them. What to do. It is a handy excuse, too.

A beginning is important though. Some of my favourite movies grab you in their opening scenes. I’m not thinking of Saving Private Ryanesque in-your-face action either. More the Big Lebowski. Regular dude, pops into the supermarket and returns to find his rug being pissed on. That is a good beginning.

Why bother trying to be that good? I’ll just settle for some circumspect opening remarks. ‘Tis not a blog about politics, the situation in Sri Lanka, photographing cooking or the Colombo club scene. I may well rant about the first two, fool myself with the third (unlikely), or poke fun at the last, but I’m just as likely to whine about the old people, tossers everywhere, and the Dude and those like him.

I think I maybe should have blogged about my lunch. Oh, well, too late now. Things can only improve.
