Oh man Please do not suck...
…As it were.
I was, of course, referring to this blog entry. I hope for it to be the first of many. This is supposed to be an introduction to what the blog ‘Mind-Farts’ was going to be about (for a definition, skip to the seventh paragraph. You impatient lout). Yet the truth is, there is no plan and the more I think about it, the more excited I get about how that much that could mean as a result.
Y’see, I have read some awe-inspiring blogs in my time (example? http://shabina921.blogspot.com/ - the Moz Boondoggle) and I’ve constantly asked myself whether I could write anything even remotely as interesting as others in the blogging fraternity. The truth is, I cannot. There is absolutely no way my life and my thoughts could possibly be as interesting, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try.
I don’t really want to go the route in this, my first post, of describing who I am, what I like, and all that jazz. Assuming you don’t already know me: I hope, instead, that my upcoming posts will provide the insight you (hopefully) crave. If you didn’t, why are you reading this? Having said that, I see no harm in sharing a little bit about where I am in my life at this point in time, for the sake of understanding the context of whatever I write in the future.
I am on a post-graduate course in Oxford, training to be a solicitor. I have about six months left, after which I hope to have gained a Legal Practice Course qualification. Following on from that, I hope, insha’Allah, to train with a law firm for two years before I can confidently say I am a qualified solicitor. These facts by no means define me as a person, I grant you that, but it’s something, isn’t it?
However, as a ground rule I have set myself, I intend to never be too personal, because I have already occupied another section of cyberspace to discuss that malarkey and, in all seriousness, it will bore you to death. Instead, I hope to simply share what I like to call ‘mind-farts’. You’ve probably heard the term before, but I want to provide my own definition.
Essentially a mind-fart, to me, is the need to release a thought, or idea of whatever is collecting in my head, into the world. ‘Better out than in’ will be the philosophy and mantra behind whatever I intend to post, irrespective of content, implications and agreeability. There will not necessarily be a coherent structure to what I have written, because I am not writing an essay. Despite this, I am allowing comments to be posted, which is probably a mistake the size of Jade Goody, but we live in a democracy (or, at least I do) and everyone should have the right to say what they think, even if they will probably be wrong.
Anyway… let the games begin!
