Christmas in two days, you say?

Yep, it's that time of year again, in case you hadn't noticed, and once again I've left my present buying until Christmas Eve. I swear though I didn't mean to this year, I really had planned to get some stuff earlier in the year but suddenly I had no money for food so quite clearly there was none to waste on presents.

Next year I swear I'll be more prepared. No, honestly, I'm going to try and start getting stuff nice and early. The problem is that I never know what to get for people, whether they'll like it, whether it'll like them. I hate shopping for other people.

And yes, I know it's the thought that counts but it's still a chore finding things that say what exactly I was thinking. The trickiest things to buy, I think, will be for my mates since we limit ourselves to the best or strangest gift for no more than a fiver. Do you know how hard it's getting to find anything for five quid lately?

Still, wish me luck eh. I have to brave a really busy looking Merry Hell on Christmas Eve. If I don't go mad within minutes I'll be winning.

Merry Christmas to one and all (not that anyone currently reads this I'd imagine) and have a great new year.

So I finally have a blog.

So this is it, I've decided to get a proper blog to note down the random thoughts I have. This will, by no means, be a regularly updated thing (at the moment anyway) but I thought it might be a nice idea considering nearly everyone in the whole wide world seems to have some way of expressing themselves to the nation.

Of course, if I don't keep this up to date as often as I like then at least it hasn't cost me anything to set up. God bless the internet.

So what to put in here? There isn't a lot to say today really. So much for having a voice, the problem now is what to say with it. I supposes I could rant and rave about the state of the country and how we've been let down by the people we voted into power but then I refuse to vote so I have no recourse really.

I won't go into why I don't vote just yet, save that for a time when I really want to rant properly. For now I suppose I could just leave this as it is and leave the topic open for suggestions on what to rant about discuss.

And this will appear to be it for my first post. Nothing earth shattering yet but hopefully things will improve over time.

Currently on my ipod is Dogs Die In Hot Cars and I'm enjoying it immensely, thank you very much.
