A return to Blogging

Disclaimer : Despite the title this won't be a Blog about Economics or Political issues, it merely reflects the fact that after studying economics for three years I AM an economist, I use rationality assumptions in my everyday decisions and imagine little graphs in my head.

No this blog will be even LESS interesting - about the day-to-day ponderings on a twenty-something failing to live out his potential and reflecting on such in a rather girly Blog. Okay thats a lie, I might touch on economics as I experiment with my plan of writing a book that brings thinking like an economist out of the lecture theatre and into the pub. Please see the cartoon above for an amusing and educational example of what not to expect.

I've been inspired to blog again firstly by my friend taking up blogging with such aplomb, http://www.firstclassramblings.blogspot.com/ and secondly by previously mentioned friend finding a blog and pointing out to me that the blogger in question was just like me (personally i think he's got a little more charisma) http://plentymorefishoutofwater.blogspot.com/ .

I did experiment with blogging during my first year at university, I managed about six posts. I think it was mainly as a result of two girls, one who wrote the most fascinating blogs about her life and one who was just fascinating - both of whom I was infatuated with. Anyway I re-read the posts one day and realised I sounded like a twat, deleted them and never blogged again. It was on Myspace for god's sake.

This first entry has taken me a few weeks to compose in my head while I decided whether or not to do this, it may be masculine bravado and/or my upbringing but writing a blog isn't something I'd ever boast about and would never ever ever mention in the pub. But I have been told I've a good writing style and if I can write six thousand words about wage discrimination facing homosexual men, I can probably knock out a few hundred once a week about what I've been thinking about recently....
