Ambition

It's terrible. It really is terrible. I can't believe how terrible it is. I just can't think of anything to blog about today. I could rant about how awful my local shopping area is on a Saturday afternoon and how McDonalds was swamped by filthy chavs and therefore unusable, but it's not that suprising given that the area I live in is full of filthy chavs who all go to my local shopping area on a Saturday afternoon. I could talk about how my train was late this morning. But it wasn't, so that's a non starter. I could tell you all about how I put petrol instead of diesel into my car last week, but that's old news, and as the engine didn't explode then it's not terribly exciting old news either.

Perhaps I could do current affairs, like so many other bloggers. I could... but my opinions are probably not terribly contentious, and news is generally, I feel, best left to responsible news gathering organisations. The most exciting piece of news that I could bring you today would be that I saw a burning bus on the way home. And that's not even true, because it had been put out and was really just a smouldering bus when I passed by.

The only thing I can think of to write about today is Mountain Unicycling. This sport genuinely does exist, and clearly is the preserve of mentalists of the highest order... and I find the idea quite appealing. As such, I have resolved to obtain and learn to ride a unicycle, with the eventual aim of careering down the side of the Lickey Hills on only one wheel and without breaking any bones. This probably will not happen, but it's good to have ambition...
