A New Blog

So it's finally here. My Blog. We could do with another one.

I've always loved the idea of blogging. The freedom, the social interaction, the kind of anonymity and new identity that is portrayed over the web. The problem has always been that I've never had had anything to say. Still don't, in fact.

"Why have you started a blog then?!"

Good question. Firstly it has nothing to do with the fact that I am required to possess one as part of my upcoming studies. That is a pure coincidence. Probably.

Secondly, I've never had an outlet of this type. Never had a diary or journal. Don't write poetry and even when writing music I rarely engage in lyrics. So after all this time, I hope it will be somewhere for me to write many thoughts, share ample musings and offer the occasional amble.

"Who are you?!"

Another excellent question. How rude of me not to have introduced myself. I am only known as Mainly Genius, (That's not actually true, for I only decided on Mainly Genius around 40 minutes ago. So, in fact, no one refers to me in that way) or Tom Cornish if you would prefer an actual, non made-up name. I am currently studying at one of London's premier academic institutions and have grand ambitions of greatness, working in the Music Industry. I am an accomplished guitar player, competent bass player and I own a piano. It has also been known that I have attempted singing on a few, unremarkable occasions.

"What are you going to write about?!"

To put it simply, probably music. Maybe. To me, a blog should be about anything that the author feels is interesting, exciting or any number of (unrestricted) adjectives. It shouldn't be about any one thing.
Music is one of my passions and that is what will take up a majority of the blog space. However, rather than rave about the latest 16 year olds to play guitars, I will try to engage in music that is new to me, music that I have recently discovered, music that maybe will be new to a handful of people and will hopefully be enjoyed by a small portion of these folks. It may be old or new, and could hugely popular already.

As well as music, I hope to supply the odd joke and maybe some side-splittingly witty, satirical sarcasm from time to time. Sarcasm is really what I'm good at.

Right, well there we are. I believe I have finished the first post. As I was writing it, I felt good. I feel like I have made the first step towards becoming an established blogger.

If you have any questions, problems, thoughts, jokes, limericks or confusing feelings, feel free to contact me in the usual ways and any unusual ways that may take your fancy (you don't see enough telegrams these days..). The links are helpfully positioned on the sidebar.

As a final note, I thought I would spice things up a tad by adding a small picture, comment or link at the end of each post, under the moniker of Mainly Genius. Not wanting to break tradition, the first if these follows.

Enjoy
