Beginning Anew

Ive been meaning to start a new blog ever since I returned from my travels. Since it has taken me this long to actually create it, I have my doubts that it'll get updated too often but Ill try my hardest.

A few weeks ago, I told a friend I wanted to start another blog and he asked me the simple question of why. Now on one hand you dont really need a reason to start a blog, anyone can do it and its not exactly hard but on the other, I think its good to have some justification. Some purpose behind why you're publishing your words in the largest information source of all time. So, this is mine:

I enjoy thinking. Most people have a bit of time on their own, when they're not doing anything, at least once a week (if not more frequently). Whether it be when they're on the bus or train, driving their car, walking between places or even when they're in bed, waiting for sleep.
Most people try and fill this void (especially on public transport) with a book, laptop, phone, DS or other distraction to try and ward of boredom as much as possible and while I too read a book or play games on my phone I also like to spend some time just sitting and thinking.

It could be anything; something serious like politics, the environment or a possible fix for a bug I found at work to the not so serious like just plain day dreaming. Sometimes, during these periods I come up with an idea about something or a view on a particular subject that Id like to share. That is the purpose for which I have created this blog, an outlet for my thoughts, both refined and crude borne from meaningless contemplation.
