I suppose...

            Introductions are in order. I have no clue who anyone on here is as I've always tried to keep my identity on the internet very low profile. I don't expect many people to read this and think: "Oh wow this is simply the most brilliant prose I have ever witnessed in my previously mundane life". Yeah, I doubt that anyone would react like that and to be frank I might have to track that person down and give them a serious talking to (via e-mail of course (what you expected me to actually go talk to them?)) if they did. Anyway, as I said "Introductions are in order" so without further ado.

             Hi, I'm Richard and I'll be your... er... author of the half-hour I suppose? (most people have many things to do in a day and reading a new blog doesn't usually rank very high on their priorities and so I don't expect people to spend that long on here).  I'm from Canada, and I love it here with our igloos and mountains of snow all year round (and I would never lie about that either). I've hung around the Internet for roughly half of my life and always wondered whether I should bother with a blog or YouTube account or some other such form of communication to mass numbers of people at once. However due to my tendency to always either:

a) Feel busier than I actually am.
b) Lie to myself about getting things done.
c) Procrastinate.

              I've been a horrendous student simply because of my tendency to procrastinate, I'm certain that many people who may (or may not) read this have been in the same situation at some time. I realized I had a problem when I'd heard the same speech about being able to do the work well after handing in a project that I actually completed roughly twenty separate times over the course of two years. Now, people who don't have the problem of procrastinating probably won't understand why actually starting this blog is a big deal for me so I'll explain. When someone who procrastinates a lot wants to do something in their spare time (such as a blog) they put it off just as much as work they need to do such as that project worth 45% of your final mark for your least favourite class (if that seemed too specific that's because this actually happened).

             Either way, this is a big deal because I'm a very self-conscious person, so if you combine those two problems (procrastination and being self-conscious) then you get someone who rarely gets things done because they put it off until it's too late to finish it on time because they're afraid of people telling them it's poorly done simply because they want it to be perfect.

             Somewhere along the line this stopped being a mere introduction... I think I'm just overly excited about finally convincing myself to do this, I dunno. Hopefully I didn't completely bore any potential readers with this. On a personal level I find it interesting (otherwise I wouldn't have written it). Either way I'll see how this goes, hopefully some people enjoy this.
