Getting started.

Hi there. I'm just experimenting with this here Blogger. I had a blog with the thrice damned AOL, but they stopped hosting them, and then I broke free and found a decent ISP.
My internet chum Liztooyou suggested I set up on Myspace and I've been blogging on there ever since. ( www.myspace.com/bucknihilist , if you desperately want to catch up.)
I've just had a look at this following a new chum's interest in it (http://goodgawdgirl.blogspot.com/ or Jaxlawgirl on Twitter).

It looks clean and uncluttered. I'll have to see what I can do to rectify that.

A little bit about me then, to set the scene for subsequent blogs. I'm not like the other boys. I was once flattered to be described as 'independently stylish'. Really I just wear what I like. This has run to old-school goth chic for quite a few years now.

I have been training in martial arts for the last couple of years, currently Taekwondo.

Earlier this year I finally passed my HGV test, so I'm qualified as a trucker, just waiting to get a job at it. My current employer have said they will let me drive for them, and I'm currently waiting for that to materialise. If it does not, I have a plan 'B'; to join the Territorial Army as a driver to get my experience. I have served in the Army for three years as a young man, so feel up to the task.

Five weeks ago I realised a long-held ambition to get a tenor saxophone. I've been taking weekly lessons, practising for an hour a day and obsessing. Good fun.

Also this year I got married to my long-time girlfriend, (13 years of long-time!)Wendy.

I've been tee-total for about two years.

I'm a bit of a bleeding-heart liberal, socialist, and all round good egg.

Well, I think I've lost the will to live. That is generally a sign that I've waffled enough.

When I actually have something to write about I trust I do it better than this. Not much, but better.
Later,
Buck.
