The Beginning to Begin All Beginnings
January 11, 2008
Good day madams, sirs, others. I am known as Biggles and for a long time, I have been making a business of never finishing anything I start. I imagine that this is the same for a lot of people since the best of things don’t really have ends, just enormous drawn-out middles like those jelly snakes that you can just keep on stretching. Man I miss those jelly snakes. I wonder if they still make them.
Recently, I realised that I’m actually getting fairly efficient at picking up new things to research, learn, develop, rant about, ruin for everyone and so on. I intend to document reasonable methods of picking up new things to do so that other people may benefit. Words of warning are that much of the subject matter will be decidedly nerdy as that’s in my nature. My theory is that somewhere out there, someone with a much greater intellect, motivation, interest or luck than myself will come across one of the introductions to various activities and hopefully become proficient at it.
I would condemn this monologue here and now by declaring myself about to yet again fail to finish something, but currently I’m more interested to see how far I can get this jelly snake to stretch. Happy beginnings and delicious middles to all.
