Exciting discovery today.I recieved an email from out of the blue from some nice person asking me if it was alright if he could use my blog on some sort of collected student blog type thingumy. Naturally I agreed. Also naturally I assumed that this had been sent to every person in my University, and that (naturally) I would be 'left out' owing to the sporadic nature of my blog, its naturally esoteric content and the way it's not so much a blog as a series of nonsenses titled with a date.
note: Strange nature obsession at work above. Probably due to staring at vine weed for half an hour outside. Not to worry.
I was therefore surprised to find that a Google search for my name, after producing information about the David Wickes who produces/directs films (evil name stealer that he is), pointed me towards my blog at a place called The Rundown, a lovely place of studenty news, advice, distractions and other doubtlessly amusing things. This I found quite exciting.
The other thing I found quite exciting was that not all of my entries were up there. The funky groovy ones were all there but the boring ones ("Hey guys, does anyone know anything about the Stooges?") were all left off. Now we all know what this means: someone is editing me. Someone, somewhere is being paid to read my blog. And it isn't me.
So, anyway – hello you crazy Blog reading person. How're you doin'? I'm sorry. Generally. For everything. Sorry that I don't write more and so that everytime you have to read my blog to find something new and groovy there's never anything there. Sorry that when there is something there, it's usually nonsensical and rambling and badly spelt and structured. But, hey, thank you anyway! You get paid in some way – can I have your job? Seriously, I'm going to be a little short of cash really soon. No more blogging then as I'll have to sell the computer for smack. Which I'll then sell for food, obviously. Anyway, thanks again.
So now I better greet everyone who reads this at the Rundown, as they probably have no idea what's going on. So – Hi. My names Dave and I go to the University of Warwick (looking at some of the other bloggers, they do too.). I study Philosophy, but not as well as I should. I am 6' tall, overweight, blonde hair, green eyes, black plastic glasses and freckles. But I have a grrreat personality. At the moment I sport a fetching sunburn. I am said to look like a combination of Colin Baker (6th Doctor Who) and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Or possibly Jack Osbourne. Frankly kidz – fear me.
I enjoy musicals, computer games, music, guitars, wine, women, whisky, food, songwriting and my friend Alan Reiss doing his impression of Maverick from Top Gun playing beach volleyball. And then maybe joining in.
So 'howdy y'all!' as we say here on the outskirts of Coventry.
In conclusion, I've got my toothbrush back. I think I go and clean my teeth now – ah, these small pleasures we take for granted.
Ciao for now.
Message from the Editor: I don't get paid. Seriously. Hi to everyone from Warwick, though.
