I have always enjoyed reading others' blogs. Limmy's, Connell & Florence's and recently Gerry 'Hotstaxx' McLaughlin's. As with all things that happen on the internet, I am a good few years later than most to try it.
Problem is, the examples given above are comedians, proper comedians. I work in a call centre. I believe that there will be rare occasions when I will come close to entertaining anyone that reads this... In saying that, I do work with some fucking clowns.
Right now I don't know where to start. My subject matter will come to me, I'm sure. I will then write a proper blog about something with some proper content. I am not, it should be said, a comedian.
I suppose I could write a wee bit about myself to start...
I am originally from a village called Howwood just outside Paisley. I moved to Macclesfield in Cheshire 8 years ago in search of a Rock and Roll dream that sadly never materialised. Officially, the band has not split and remains in the guise of The Shores, but we all know it's over. It's fucking over, man. It's over. Gone. Dead.
What we will never forget though, is supporting Ocean Colour Scene and more recently, New Order. Not a lot of unsigned bands can say that. Can you? Naw. That's right. Ye cannae. Get that roon ye.
Bitterness is a trait I have found comes easier with age.
Still, I am now a patriotic Scot living in England with a son & daughter, so it all worked out in the end. We can't all be rock stars... but I'd have been a fuckin' good one.
Anyway, I will now think of something to blog about and try to make it interesting. Thanks for reading... If you have.
Big step into a brave new world of....deafening silence. Just kidding, it's all about the content and if you manage to populate the blog with the same level of amusing/random/violent shite as you do Twitter, you'll do alright.
ReplyDeletebravo! ^-^ xax
