New Blogness :)

Well hello there! What is this you might ask? I'll tell you. This is a new blog from yours truly! I know, I'm actually going to make one, although, I will admit to this being my second one. So, for the moment, I'll cut the randomness, and talk in more measured tones.

There, that's better. So, as mentioned but a few lines previously, this is a new blog, and is the second one. Although, it is not the second one technically, It is about the third. I first embarked upon blogging some time ago, 2010 I believe. I had just gotten a Blogger account due to necessity. It was required to post on a YouTube help page, and it would not allow me to do so, if I did not have a Blogger account. So, with much groaning, I signed up, although I did think on even back then, that likely, having it would come in handy in the future. And I was right.

So, one day, I decided to start a blog, (technically this blog would be the fourth, but the blog responsible for pushing into 4th place, was merely a test, so does not really count, thus meaning this blog is still only the third). I had no idea what this blog was going to be about, I had assumed that it was going to be about me and my life and things that I come across, as is the norm with a personal, memoir style blog. Even applicable to this blog, I felt, that, I'm articulate with my English language skills, and possibly had a dry sense of humour, that many could relate to, so I felt I wanted to share my thoughts, feelings and all manner of other frivolity with the world, I felt it might be fun. But then, the inevitable happened, I think you can guess. The blog went cold. Beyond posting an initial hello world blog, I did nothing meaningful with it, and it remained forgotten about for ages, despite many mental notes to take charge and actually write on it.

I did however see friends starting theirs, and was once again inspired to create one... But what about? Would people really care if I did? I later decided that I really didn't care what people thought, and decided to produce a blog on beer... Just beer. And it wasn't even going to be super serious, just a blog about beers I liked, and nothing more, no upper class pretension about the flavour or giving the beers any sort of rating, just good beer. This blog was a recycling of the earlier blog attempt, and indeed, the very first post for that blog lives on. (I can't delete anything it seems) If you want to check it out, it's called Piper's Beer List (shameless plug).

Now, we come to this blog, and this one will be about interesting thoughts, or opinions I have throughout the day, or topics of the moment I feel like I want to talk about. Part of the content on these post will be linked to my YouTube channel where I may post video versions of this kind of stuff, and I just wanted to do it because, I feel on certain things, I have interesting things to say, and well, it never stopped anybody else! It's not so much going to be a blog all about me, and my life, just the things I mentioned. So hopefully I will manage to keep this one up, and have plenty of written content coming through.

So, as they say, watch this space!
