I'm about 4 posts into this blog now and i'm all out of ideas. Shame really. I was thinking that if I kept this up, then maybe I'd be heading into some direction. Maybe it's still early days yet. However, I really do need to stop writing pointless shit like this at some stage.
I think I need help. Of the blogging kind that is, not the "i'm going insane" type of help.

Speaking of practising...
I've just realised it's now been almost 3 months since I haven't played my guitar. Normally, I wouldn't go 3 days without playing it. It's been because right now, me and my guitar (actually I should be saying guitars as I have both an electric and an acoustic) are in two different countries. I won't be able to start practising again until April. Hopefully, I won't be too rusty.
I have found that in recent times, I don't spend as much time on it as I used to. I remember as teenager spending hours on end just playing the thing, sometimes even losing sleep over it. But recently, it's been more like spending 10 minutes a day on it, and barely even bothering to finish playing any songs. By no means have I lost interest. On the contrary, I intend to buy a new one along with effect pedals (just a need a job that pays to finance this first). I guess it's because when I first started playing, I worked hard trying to nail the basics, and now that I've done that, I've put it in my head that I've accomplished what I wanted to. Now, I'm setting myself a new goal of going beyond the basics and just becoming really good.
I have promised myself that I will spend more time playing the guitar, but not go as crazy as mentioned above. After all, I want to be a decent guitar player, and that means working hard at it, and learning to play all sorts of styles and songs, even if I don't like them. As long as I practise at least an hour a day, I should reach the stage of where i want to be.

Practice does not make perfect
..... it just makes you more experienced. Ultimately, this is the idea of this blog. It's only a practice blog, and with more entries, should become an experienced blog. I know these entries that I write have nothing much to say, I'm merely just throwing myself into the idea of becoming a blogger.
Eventually, I will start a new blog that aims towards something. The possibilities are either create a blog that is centred around a certain topic that I am interested in and share it with others, or create a blog that is generally based on a collective of thoughts, ramblings, and a diary of what I've been up to. In either case, I'm going to have to do a lot of reading and research. If I am going to make a diary-style blog, I'll certainly need to get out of the house bit more.

Well, I have to start somewhere.
A big congratulations to me! After so much time doing nothing but just thinking about it, I have finally started a blog. I know it really isn't a big deal for most people, but it takes me ages to get anything started that's been weighing on my mind. So, at least this is dealt with now.
Now, it's wondering what the hell I should be blogging about! First time bloggers are generally told to find a topic and write about it. I'm not too sure what kind of blog this will be. I'll just let it grow and see where it takes off. Much like life itself really.
Anyway, I guess I'll just keep posting more bollocks like this for some time, until it actually does have a point. I assure you, it will have a point because I don't know how long I can keep up being utterly pointless.
