Tired.
   at 21:30 on Mon 8th March 2004
It's all good, yet I feel so unmotivated and like I could just jump in bed and stay there a few days.

I've paid for i19 now. £70 which seems quite alot. But when you factor in all thats there, it's worth it, and it's going to be a damn good weekend.

Unfortunately, this means I'm unable to go to the Aqualung gig on Saturday. I think I'm going to regret not seeing them. I'm enjoying their music much.

The next good thing is that I signed up at the new Jubilee Sports center on campus. It's a pretty place and it has a swimming pool.

Parents were down on Saturday. Was lovely to see them. I got some new shoes. Lala. They're pretty...

Erm... no offense, but I'm bored. This is a really shit post, I was just thinking. But then I was thinking that I very much doubt people read my corner of the net. And then I was wondering if I actually want anyone to read my corner of the intarweb. Then I was thinking what the hell is all this blogging thing about?

I originally bought this domain purely to have a personal and decent email address.

But I thought, what the heck, I have this server sitting around that I could host a website on, so I created this thing. It's mainly been an excercise for my web-coding.

So all in all, I'm sat here considering why people blog, why it's become such a craze and why we expect people are even vaguely interested in ourselves.

Is it that we're egotistic and assume we're important enough to have people wanting to read about us? I don't know. I was also reading a blog entry by some random gut at msdn.org. He's saying about student blogging. He basically says that do people really want to hear about my personal life, about my rants and rave and about my (probably awful) opinions?

Oh well, I shall continue to write to myself. If anyone thinks along the lines of all this is pointless, then in future I suggest you stear clear of my intarweb home. It's mine, I give the rules here and you obide by them, ta all the same.

Oh, and the shoes... they're Kickers. I was well impressed. It's like 8 years too late, but I've finally got a chance to get into the "cool" gang with trendy shoes... Hoorah for 50% sales.

I forget who it was, but one of the developer blogs I read stated that anyone who doesn't read blogs will be worthless in the computing industry because they simply won't keep up with the latest news. Interesting point. I like blogs.
