this riot is just the beginning.

hello.
hi.
'bout 'ye?

i'm mark, and i've been meaning to start writing random crap on the internet for a good while now. being a typical slacker student though, inevitably this hadn't actually come to any sort of fruitation.


until now.

its the christmas holidays, the snooker coverage on tv has just ended, and i have LITERALLY ran out of excuses not to actually get my backside/fingers around to doing this. plus, my good friend, dear acquintance, and author of some of the most hilariously vitriolic vocal and internet based comments in history, mr christopher cowgill, has also recently got his arse around to blogging. and i'm not letting him have that one over on me. (p.s. go read his blog at http://walkingonbothsides.blogspot.com if you're in any way partial to the metal-ly/proper goth-y side of music, he knows his stuff more thoroughly than the vast, VAST majority of absolute idiots writing in those fields.)

i am aware that i'll probably be the only person who actually reads any of this, such is the nature of the information-heavy crazy internet world... but, regardless, i hope to use this space as somewhere to vent (hopefully) reasonably intelligent views and critiques on a variety of pretty cool things. for as long as i remember to keep writing on this page, in all liklihood there's going to be a lot of rambling about a pretty broad range of musical stuff, football, books, more music, more football, other culture-y lovely things and a heck of a lot more. i WON'T be posting links to full albums or leaks or anything illegal and stupid. just sayin'.

so yeah, hopefully someone gets something out of this silly wee page at some point. i'll try my best not to be too much of an eejit.
