Blog…what a distasteful term. Whatever happened to diary? I have no idea what the purpose of blogs are, and I must make the honest disclaimer that I am not doing this for anything other than an experimental desire to fish in the ether and see what bites. Most importantly, however, is that these truly are my thoughts, complete with emotional baggage and environmental influences. In view of this, despite my intention to share non-commercialised experiences with a hint of a desire to educate those less experienced, there will undoubtedly be phrases, viewpoints and terminology that will seem distasteful to a variety of readers. However obscene, rude or insulting snippets within the scribbles may seem, please know that there is a solid grain of anecdotal truth to it all for which I feel absolutely zero compunction to apologise for. I am one of the most well-rounded and open-minded individuals that average society has to offer, honed by years of cultural curiosity and integration, not to mention extensive travel and effort. In short, I think I have earned the right to have an opinion, so if you happen to be of a sensitive nature and are in any way offended or uncomfortable with the tappings that are to follow, I suggest you take your inalienable right to stop here and sod off back to whatever padded existence you have deluded yourself with..that’s right, click those heels and keep repeating “There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home…..”
