...getting started

Well, here we go. For some time now those who know me best (and also know the worst) have suggested that I write a book about my adventures through life. Whilst I am not sure it is book worthy at the moment, I do kind of feel that one mans journey through stupidity has its place in cyberland where there is some level of anonymity amongtst the millions of people sharing their lives with the world.

Starting your own blog I am finding out right now is akin to figuring out what to write on a sympathy card or what to write as an intro on an internet dating site (but that's another story !) The mind is all over the place knowing where to begin, what story to start with and figuring how much pride and dignitiy I still have left in me to share these stories with you all.

I suppose the first thing I should do at least is tell you a little bit about myself. I've just recently turned 36, single dad of 4.5 year old twins (James "J-man" and Emma "Princess") and am a rep for a medical supply company after spending the last 14 years as a medical scientist in a laboratory testing blood in job I used to describe to people as an "uninteresting CSI". It usually seemed to suffice with most people who still thought it was the coolest thing that I got to work with people like Abby, but not so cool to work with David Caruso. What is it with those sunglasses and his dry non-witty monologues anyway !?!?)

As a person I think of myself as a caring, loving, loyal and trustworthy friend, raised by my mother to believe in respect for women especially and to treat people equally and with dignity. I like to think this is how my friends see myself, but in addition to this, a source of constant amusement and hilarity and hence the reasoning for this blog. I guess in a way I am hoping by writing all this down that someone can confirm for me that these klind of things DO happen to other people and I am not alone in my journey wading through the bizarre, incredible and sometimes, just plain dumb !

As this blog progresses I will reveal more about myself (and most of the time more than what you are probably wanting to hear!) but hope that you enjoy and it at least puts a smile on your face and feel glad that its happening to someone else :)
