This is a blog on my thoughts of everything and anything.

 Agree, disagree or whatever, but join in on the journey. I am sure that the world needs another mad blogger of a roving observer, amongst the other billions or so blogs out there.

Going back before the days of blogs and the internet, only a select few could voice their thoughts to the general public, either through TV, papers or just shouting their mouths off at Speakers Corner. Granted, there are papers’ that carry readers comments (letter pages), but again, that was for the selected few that got past the editors' censorship or bigoted viewpoint (all in the hope of selling even more papers).

Now we have the blogs that allow all thoughts to be publically aired throughout the solar system and probably beyond. Of course, this is a quagmire of sinking fools, all pushing the others out of the way to get their pound of flesh (or an ounce of breath).

I hope to be different (really!), yes, by adding my own unique thoughts with a dose of humour… (and this hasn’t been done before?), no, not by me. As I said, we are all unique, and I am hoping to be more unique than the others.

I am a journalist, a football journalist and I work/ write for a specific club, before that a worldly journalist (what is that? A Jack of all trades, but a master only in mind). But I have found that as a journalist most write over their readers' heads, trying to complicate things with jargon and cleverness (having grandiloquence ways about them). But for the reader that hasn’t got his or her head in the clouds of political sophistication, then one could feel lost, left out, or pissed. As I said, I am a journalist, but not with the academia mind-set (even though I had gone down that path), thus learnt to write as I speak, not as I was taught (there is something about academia that is social or collective engineering). Society wants us all to think the same way, educationally. Of course, my style won’t please all, but then again we are all trying to find a niche in a swelter of big shit (a cacophony of noise).

God put me on here to shine the light, or try to shine the light on those nooks and crannies that are inaccessible to the ordinary mortal. And I ain’t even religions or a believer, thank God!
So, what do we start with?

………, in my next blog Brexit, good, bad or ugly?

It has been a pleasure, Don Scully
