the blog begins! an introduction...

So, this is to be my blog. For a long time I have thought it would be a good idea to keep some sort of diary or journal, therefore, encouraging myself to look back over the days events and record any interesting events or thoughts that I may have had. I often find myself philosophising about a subject whilst I am drunk, like I am some sort of expect on the matter, then suddenly realise that prior to that moment I had never really considered that particular subject at all and quite simply know naff all about it. This quite often results in a situation where I go on to talk a load of utter nonsense or suggest that I believe things that a little more considered thought I would not. I guess that this is where the blog comes in.

I have never really paid much heed to the world of blogging, as a result I don't really know what I am doing or how this blog will progress in this form (if it even progresses at all). I have given my blog the title of 'what i learnt today'. This is based on the old saying 'you learn something new every day'. By writing this blog every day I hope to be able to look back over the days events and sincerely say that I have actually learnt something new and not just added to the pile of days that may as well of not happened!

As yet I have decided to have any filters on the subject matter of what it is I may have learnt that day, for the time being I shall just 'roll with it' and see what sense (if any) comes out of my mind and spilling onto the page. I am not suggesting that I am about to start surfing the web all day everyday day in some sort of daily quest for useless knowledge, even if it does sound like something that I would actually enjoy doing. I prefer a much more organic approach, analysing anything from the absurd to the mundane, from the serious to the hilarious and therefore giving myself access to a considered opinion on a subject should it ever come up in conversation.

With the introduction pretty much covered I will end this first entry to my blog with what I learnt today. As it happened, I was actually surfing the web for useless facts to pass the time at work. Apparently scientists have conducted (very important) tests on male monkeys and discovered that they are willing to give up their juice in the form of a trade for the opportunity to ogle at photos of female monkey bottoms! What benefit I will gain in the future from knowing this, I do not know. However, if I am am ever planning on getting stranded in a jungle I shall be sure to take a collection of Hot-Monkey-Totty-Bottie photos with me, just in case I need some juice!
