"No one likes clowns on the other side of the world"-Tom Waits
Somebody somewhere said something like: "The greatest of journeys begins with a single step."
This isn't actually true. It starts with packing.
This blog represents my first foray into this strange and enticing corner of the ether, and embarking on a journey is the only parallel I can draw in describing the experience.
Unfortunately for me, and presumably for anybody with enough spare time to actually read any of this, I travel light. That is to say that rather than a well-organized suitcase of verse, neatly folded and placed in the correct compartments, this will represent something more akin to a rudely thrown-together duffel bag, it's contents randomly balled-up and stuffed in.
My main motivation for starting out was my brother, an accomplished (and published) wordsmith whose talent for stringing together sentences positively dwarfs mine. Those not inclined to take my word for it can scoot over to his blog, aptly named: keepthinkingbutch.blogspot.com
Anyway, I'll try to keep things as concise as possible, whilst hopefully still holding your attention.
If you're reading this; thank you.

Welcome to the blogosphere! I've brought crisps and pop. Thanks for your kind words but, no, you can't borrow a tenner or my punk records or my copy of Man-Thing #1. Keep writing; the more people discover this type of instant democracy, the more our little voices will form a choir and, when all the little blogs start linking arms, who knows? An alternative culture awaits...
