Welcome to Tangent Land

The official purpose behind the blog is to cover my developmental journey from mature student and geek wannabe to a paid professional in the digital media industry, but I know for a fact that I'm bound to write stuff which has absolutely nothing to do with that journey. The first few entries will cover my back story and help you catch up with the story so far.  Assuming I don't bore you too much with my domestic gibberish and occasional regular multiple topic rantings, the ongoing posts will be about the things I'm experiencing in my journey.

This isn't my first blog. I've started several others in the past, in fact there are definitely a couple roaming around the internet unattended and unloved. I'm not sure what that says about the chances for this one but for now lets assume that I'm going to be the most awesome and attentive blogger the world has ever known and see how we get on.

As with most watchers of TV makeover shows I'm a big fan of the before and after moment so I like to try and record my progress on the various "projects" in my life but for some reason I didn't feel the need to do so with my current journey, until Richard Eskins, one of my lecturers said that I should start a blog. After he'd said it another two or three times I decided that I should start a blog. (What a coincidence)  My desire to be teacher's pet (and employed when I graduate) meant that I didn't need much persuading, so here I am.

Hopefully writing this blog will demonstrate positive attributes to potential employers, provide me with the "before and after" moments I'm so fond of, and improve my writing. It would also be really good if I could turn out to be a fantastically entertaining, be discovered as a writer and make an obscene amount of money. Realistically it's more likely that I'll spend the next couple of years sporadically firing my musings into the internet and a couple of my mates will find it entertaining, but there's only one way to find out isn't there?
