In the beginning...

This is my first blog post. Yes, my first.

I must admit it felt a little strange, even just thinking about it, because when I made the decision to start one I had no idea what to write.

That’s when I realised that I’d been doing it for years. Well, kinda... in places like Facebook and Twitter.

Besides, I’ve read a few blogs in my time. Some from really cool, important people. They seemed to talk a lot about things, like what they ate for breakfast, who won that big football match and getting a new flea collar for their cat.

Now, don’t get me wrong and assume I think that I am better than these celebrities – cos’ I don’t. It’s just that being a busy person, who already feels he needs to clone himself at least three times to get everything done, I expected a blog post to contain only important information. Eg. The release of a brand-new novel, the completion of a movie deal, a cure for cancer or a story about saving someone’s life.

I guess I just didn’t believe one of my readers would be excited to learn about how I like my coffee. But then I thought about it a little more. Deeper this time, and I realised that if William Shatner or Sean Connery (someone of that ilk) sent me a message telling me about their day, I’d be pretty damn enthused.

I realised that these celebrities are just like you and me... people.

So, there you have it. My first blog. Perhaps I didn’t really say anything. Did I have to? 

But I did learn something, as I previously mentioned. I guess that’s what counts because – as they say, the day’s not wasted if... “You learn something new every day!” - Rick
