I hope you're on the right page

After chuckling with satisfaction at my witty and controversial new blog title, I inadvertently visited the more traditional bookofrevelation page by making a typo in my bungling attempt to log in. I wonder if casual blasphemy, not to mention the weighty expectations I may have set up by aligning myself with one of the more classic texts of biblical antiquity, was a sensible way to start this new textual journey. I guess I'll find out.

I'd been suspicious of the weblog in years gone by - neurotic or exhibitionist (or both... ? = nutritionist) souls with no real friends to moan or show off to, pouring their hearts out to anyone who had enough mindless spare time to listen. That was until I started reading the content of a few written by my friends and found the blog to be the quarter-centurion's ideal antidote to the dual frustrations of having friends everywhere except within walking distance, and having an email inbox about as crammed and aesthetically pleasing as a chicken bus in Guatemala.

So, here I go - venturing into a brave new world, with pre-conceptions to dismantle and debate to enjoy!
