Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Contemplating how I should commence this insanely little thing that is blogging, I suddenly find myself with colder feet than a groom that has just witnessed his beloved soon-to-be standing upright while on the toilet. The voices inside my head (we all have some, right?) starts rummaging about and flinging arguments at me like: You have already done so many interesting stuff this past year, you'll find nothing to write about NOW. Another one quietly confides: You can't write for shit, nobody is gonna read this! Then there are a couple that rambles on about how some potatoes are awesome, but I usually disregard those.

I think most people about to let their minds seep into the all-consuming beeing that is Internet are faced with some of the same thoughts: Will anybody enjoy this? Will anybody be inspired by this? Is it wise to publish pictures of my genitals here? So am I at the moment, but I have chosen to not be conserned, and let things be as things will. After all I have chosen to lead my life by the simple, yet difficult philosophy of Hakuna Matata. :) No worries.

Still, the first argument of me being done with all things exciting worries me. 08 was an awesome year containing nearly a hundred new friends, trips across the globe, diving to the bottom of an ocean and many other events that elude my mind at the moment. A question that arises is: Can 09 top this? I guess I'll have to see for myself. If I have already got any readers, thank you. I WILL entertain, confess, boast, discuss, check out and analyze as much as humanly possible in this blog.

Ps: My two strongest arguments for starting up a blog was that I want my meaning to be heard (at least by some) and since I am sick today (the messy kind, you don't wanna know. ;) ) I had to get off my ass and start typing. Words are afterall our most common and most powerful way of expression.

Pps: You will here find pictures of good things that happened to me in 08. To those of you not represented: I just couldn't find a picture good enough to show how important you are to me, so please hold no grudge.
(This was to all my boys, my intellectual soulmates at school, my family, my other friends and my cat, among others.)
