AHHHHH okay so…I’ve started a blog. An ACTUAL blog. Like… for people to be looking at and comment on and… judge and stuff. Some people’s bucket lists have them bungee jumping and cart wheeling on motorways but me? Yeah, mine said do this (‘cos I’m interesting.) I dunno I’m just generally not really into all things social media I mean my twitter account is…blank (apparently that’s called an egg account or…?) and my Instagram page well that’s just got about 49 followers (shout out to my fans) with one random picture I decided to upload when I woke up one day and felt…spontaneous. I might upload a second picture if I’m ever feeling wild but for the time being I will take my current 20 likes and move on.

ANYway, that’s why I’ve started this. It’s my own way of having a presence on the internet without having to share daily selfies of myself doing things that are only interesting to those actually involved (me) or uploading the homemade chicken pie I’m about to eat (cos you know, people need to know. The World, it needs to know). There’s MANY bloggers out here now, vloggers, youtubers…everybody. It’s like everyone’s trying to compete with each other on who has the most interesting life or outfit of the day or make up collection or even who has the highest score on ‘insert relevant video game title here’. The following for these things though is ridiculously high. I can’t imagine millions of people hanging on my every word as I advise them on what hair highlights suit their cheekbones. The POWER in my words forcing someone to chuck out their wardrobe and invest in monochrome skirts cos they’re so ‘in’ right now? I’d probably go wild. Expand my fanbase and just start uploading videos telling people to sellotape fruit to the back of their coats because the trees like seeing what their children are up to these days. Even the fact that someone may potentially be reading this right now and bothered to get THIS far without switching tabs to see if their Facebook newsfeed has suddenly gotten interesting again is just…weird. Like…hi there. Congratulations on getting to the 30^th  line.

There is actually a point to this though. Quite an… educational one (yeah you can exit the tab now if you want). I want to bring people like me who WANT to be interested with what’s going on with the world and would actually like to be ‘in the know’ with all the relevant ‘economicsy’ stuff we’re surrounded by but just… don’t know how to. Yes there are so many articles and newspapers out there and obviously there’s BBC news too (apparently it shows after Eastenders?) but what if I want to just QUICKLY read something and suddenly be aware of why there’s a new Sainsburys down my road? Or even why when I walk into Primark these days it’s all upgraded with elevators and HANGERS for their clothes can you imagine? Gone are the days when the jacket you no longer want can just be shoved into the pile of random jeans on the floor without anyone noticing. (Purely a witness. I never did this myself of course.)

Well guys, I had a dream (channelling Martin now), I had a dream that I would one day write the type of blog that I would have liked to have existed back when I wanted to become not even politically aware (I watch Mock of the Week for that) but conscious of how the inflation and tax levels in ANY country would one day affect me. (Because they will, you THINK they won’t and then boom. Freddo bars rise to 20p).
So, here it is! An opening into what’s to come! I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you did then like my Facebook… okay no retweet my Twitter… hmm. Okay just comment below or something and let others know (using your mouths to speak, I know. Outrageous of me to ask).

Stay Tuned! Comment Below! (and in the meantime, let’s think about why chickens can’t fly.)
