DEEPSEA'S MUSINGS

So.... here it is. I always thought that I'd get round to making one of these eventually, and eventually I've got off my proverbial ass to do it.

Maybe it's just being from up north, or maybe it's just one of those odd things that you pick up from your parents, but I always thought that a 'blog' was when you lift someone's shirt up and kind of blow a raspberry on them, while shaking your head violently from side to side, at point blank range?

My 2 year old daughter likes being 'blogged' :)

Anyway, first post.... erm.... let me see....

It took me approximately 25 years to realise two things :

a) My skillset in life is only truly compatible with being a lottery winner, or the amateur actor thrust into the arms of stardom by being in the right place at the right time

and...

b) I really do need to get a move on with my 'get large amounts of money' plan(s)

Notwithstanding the somewhat airy nature of both of these points, like many people I've found my life veering uncontrollably from the sublime to the bloody ridiculous. Treating both these imposters the same (thank you Rudyard Kipling) is the key.

But I'm always losing keys :(

If you've stumbled on this blog, I welcome you. If you know me, I thank you for taking the time to visit. If you're an eccentric millionaire and would like help disposing of your wealth in a seemly manner, please do get in touch. You're very late.

I'll post tons of stuff, and I hope that at least some of it might raise a smile from someone out there.

And for those wondering about the name, and the picture :

For 2.5 years, I played the fantastic online game Star Wars Galaxies. During that time, I had the pleasure to make many online friends, whom I still keep in regular contact with today. Deepsea Coldwater was my 'main' character, and kind of became the natural online extension of my personality. A dark blue Mon Calamari, and fervent supporter of the Empire, he encompasses the slightly odd, slightly dark but pretty dry outlook on life in general.

Yes, I accept that the idea of a 'fish' man being quite dry sounds like a paradox, but there you go.

For the record, I've never forgiven SOE for what they did to Star Wars Galaxies. Those not 'in the know' might want to google the terms :

SWG CU PRE-CU NGE COMPLAINT CONTROVERSIAL LIES SOE ICONIC

I'll try not to bring this up too much during the blog, but if I slip into hatred mode, that'll be why.

Thanks!
