I'm a man with a fork in a world of soup

I was 20 years old when I last wrote a blog, I'm 22 now but I won't be for long. Yes it seems, and indeed, is an age since I last wrote a blog post, and since that point I have been coming up with excuse after excuse not to do it again, but I finally had to admit that actually I quite enjoyed posting things and forcing the rest of the world to read them. I'd like to think that I could come back to my world of soup and awe you all with my pondering and musings now that I was little bit older and a little bit wiser. First problem: logging in.

I had forgotten my password.

added to that I had forgotten which e-mail address I had actually used to make the blog so couldn't even recover my password.

My terrible memory and incompetence had given me breathing space, a chance to reconsider my bold choice of returning to that sphere which I both loathed and hated (perhaps also loved (but not very much)). But no matter how far I ran, how deep I buried my head in the sand I could not escape, I kept being drawn back in. I made cool new friends with cool blogs and the like (see: http://atlsyd.blogspot.com/, http://www.anewbandaday.com/) and old cool friends were making new cool blogs (http://theresgoingtobetrouble.blogspot.com/). My new attachment to my old enemy twitter and the bombardment of information that went along with that just made the decision more likely. I had to come back.

And so here you find me. I know the blog looks hyper lame at the moment, but I'm unemployed (more on that later NO DOUBT) and have enough time to make some cool backgrounds and graphics and what have you. In the meantime you can check out the meagre scraps of my old blog, preserved for perpetuity along with a picture of me in my longer haired days drinking some red wine with a straw http://manwithaforkinaworldofsoup.blogspot.com/ (the final post I made is the weakest one so I'd recommend skipping it)

Also this time I totally intend to use more pictures because the wall of text approach isn't all that awesome. In fact here have one now

It's a photo of a dog with a pipe in it's mouth, which is something I'm kind of obsessed with. I'm sure that'll come up at a later date as well. I'm also probably going to use the blog to get into a bit more depth about ANGER TUESDAY (the movement that will soon sweep the nation and probably the world) and my midnight music updates, as well as all the other interesting crap I spend my life thinking about.

My name is Geraint Thomas, and welcome to my Tapestry of Filth.
