Hi, myself Carl.

I once told a good friend that the first post in a blog will set the trend for the blog; thus you should put great thought into it. Don’t talk too much about politics or art, sport or film, bikes or cars; don’t make it too technical but be wary of being too loose on any fact. Be careful of what you put into it because your blog – and you –  will ‘ever be labelled by what you put into that very first Post.

Horsecrap.

One thing I did say (..this is the non-horsecrap part..) is that it should say something about you.

I’m indicisive, I procrastinate; I will change that.. tomorrow. I love understanding how stuff works (Yep, howstuffworks.com is one of my favourite places.. ). I’m a smart, logical person with the memory of a goldfish.

I digress. I love digression. I love the word (Doesn’t it just roll off your tongue? – It doesn’t slide off like ‘slush’ or ‘balloon’ nor does it tumble along like bananas and coconuts… ). I love tracking back 2-hour conversations to figure what possible segue just took us from ‘how many days till chrismas’ to ‘why the hell was the last best thing sliced bread?’ !

Due to my handicap (I have the memory of a goldfish..) I need to write things down : a ‘memory- hard-copy’ of sorts.

This blog is just that – The Ramblings of an Amnestic Mind.
