What this blog is for

I’m not a bad person per se – I’m basically decent, fairly intelligent, occasionally funny and often have useful flashes of understanding and insight but I’m a mediocre husband, less than great father and a poor friend.

Why? Because I have a black belt in under-achieving and I waste what is, actually, a fairly good brain. Because I forgo what I want to do in life for what I want to do now. I am easily distracted, poorly organised and a promiscuous procrastinator. Weeks run into months and months into years and nothing changes except that it gets a little more jaded with age.

Well, I’ve had enough of myself. Something has to change and, since the world outside won’t oblige, it’ll have to be me. This blog charts my journey into the light, so to speak. I’m not expecting to get any readers since it’s a personal record but if you do drop by and read just drop me a ‘hello’ in the comments section of the latest post. It’ll make my day.
