Purpose of this

This first blog has sat in draft, both in my head and on my laptop, for a good few days now. My hesitation to hit publish post or send the email was just me thinking 'what the hell am I going to write?' or 'why am I writing this'. I don't want this blog to be an online diary where I mull over all the shit things, and I am also not doing it to attract an audience. I used to write diaries years and years ago and they worked for me at the time; I could be introspective and really clear my head or I could write about things that had happened which were absolutely hillarious. Writing a paper diary now seems rather odd. For one, I don't want anyone to just pick it up and start reading it, and secondly it's much easier to tap away at the keyboard and look like you are doing something all together more useful.
Anyway, when all is said and done, I just want somewhere I can write down a few thoughts that go round in my head and see whether I can make any sense of them when I see them typed out on the screen and even just get out there things that I am thinking about, whether good or bad.
