The reason for my blog

Hello blogging world! This is my first attempt at writing a blog – this will be interesting. So, I decided to start writing this blog because I always get asked “what goes on inside your head?” or “ I’d love to be inside your head for a day!”.

The reason people ask me these questions is because of the things that escape my mouth. A standard situation for me goes something like this…Picture a table or room full of people, deep in intellectual discussion, you may notice there is some weird little creature deep in thought not saying much…yep that’s me. I won’t even be listening to the conversation (due to my low attention span) then I will blurt out the first thing that comes to my head regardless of whether its related or appropriate to the current topic of conversation or social situation. This usually results in a moment of silence while everyone mulls over the words. Then they all look at me for a moment and begin to wonder whether I have padded walls in my bedroom or if I am out on day release. The answer to both of those is no. However, going back to padded walls, they do sound tempting. I imagine it would be like living inside a bouncy castle – why let the mentally insane have all the fun, that’s what I say anyway! Not only the bouncy castle thing but… no more smashing my face on the wall when I accidentally try to get out the wrong side of my bed…Instead nothing but padded bliss for my sleepy face.

Okay so moving on from the padded walls and back to the original point of the blog…My mind sometimes digresses, you see.

So going back to the question “what goes on inside your head?” for many years there has been much speculation. A friend of mine Neil Young (Coincidence) believes there is a la la la la elevator esk kind of music constantly playing. In an ideal world my life would be like the movie Being John Malkovich and people could buy tickets to a secret door that allows them to enter my mind and see the world how I see it. There would be bean bags too…obviously.

Stepping back into reality, I think this blog is the closest thing you’re going to get to Being Johnny G (see what I did there?). So this blog is for you guys and the only way to find the answer to the question of “what goes inside my head?”.

Hope you enjoy.
