Scratching an Itch

So... hello there... is this how we greet each other in the blogosphere as you can tell I'm all very new to this. I've spent the past year lurking around the pages of a few good friends, some acquantances and lots of anonymous strangers and have become kind of fascinated with this form of "getting it out there", whatever "it" is .... it's given me food for thought, made me laugh, helped me get to know some people I know even better and been a bloody excellenct source of procastination.... it's also given me an itch

An itch... not a nasty, embarassing rash kind of itch but more of a slow burn that spreads across the body... a desire to write has come over me because I used to write all the time and not the kind of writing that requires logical arguments and pre-determined formats but random, creative writing... you know poetry, plays, journalling and the like.... I could just sit, get lost in it, enjoy it but nowadays I'm not feeling the love.... to the point where I'd rather do just about anything (and I mean anything!) than sit down at a computer and write.

So I'm not quite sure what my writing will consist of but I'm kind of excited to take that first step in finding out ... I'm imagining just a collection of my random thoughts and observations ... stuff that doesn't make it out of the mouth (and generally for good reason) but swirls around in the head and food there were definitely be a weekly post dedicated to food.....

Heres a link to a utube video that inspired the title of the blog "Following my own tracks" by The Whitlams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S93lQ0YnZpg&feature=related

I feel inside out never thought i'd doubt my ability to work it all out
Going forward to fall back
Working hard to relax
I never thought that i would be following my own tracks
It's going 'round... It's going'round... It's going 'round

Well bye bye....
