drunk.com

So here I am at home, drinking a glass of The Footbolt 2004 from d’Arenberg and enjoying the fact that there is a magic coincidence of both getting broadband at home and this site online in the same week. The former is attributable to a recent change of address, and the latter to a lack of initiative. But both are now safely behind me, and here I am.

First off, it’s really great to be here. I should probably start with a bit about me. As I said, I’ve recently moved, and with that a great number of things in my life have changed suddenly. I’m seeing that as a good thing, after three years of not a whole lot changing. Also, I enjoy a good drink now and again, with “now” being the operative word for the purposes of this site. While I’m not promising that I’ll be completely plastered every time I post, I aim to only write when I have a glass or bottle at hand.

And I would like to start by just stating for the record that there isn’t any point to this site. To paraphrase the Rakes (who translated and covered Serge Gainsbourg), I’m just a man with a blog. Nothing I write will change your life, but to be honest if you’re headed to a site called drunk.com to have your life changed, you have problems. I suggest contacting one of the well-meaning people who want this site to be dedicated to helping those with alcohol-related issues.

That’s it for tonight. Comments are welcome, but this site is really about me. If you have something you want people to see, get your own site.

Installation seems to have worked, but I’m far too sober to write anything useful. More to come, that’s for certain.
