Welcome to the Mind of Mr O.

I'm a terrible perfectionist, so it is not unlikely that at some point, I will edit this post to make it original, beautiful and enthralling (well, at least I didn't call it "First post" :). So keep in mind that this might no more than a placeholder post waiting to be replaced with the most terrific post ever.

There are too many meaningless blogs out there, crowding the Internet, which long held me back from starting and maintaining my own blog - who wants to be unoriginal guy #3 billion to blog about his pets? Add to that the fact that I have in fact only seldom read blog entries written by my very close friends - and not unless they begin withholding affection from me as long as I don't read it.

So why now? Probably because I feel that I am standing at a junction in my life. In the coming months, I hope to leave behind the last few years of a confusing, sedate, going-with-the-flow lifestyle and engage in a more run-of-the-mill professional life. Though I finally desire to come out of the shadows (so it seems), I realize that I will still require a creative outlet, somewhere to vent, to collect and organize my thoughts, as well as provide a suitable stage should I wish to exhibit to a select circle of friends my work - in whatever form that may take.

What will I post in the blog? I have no definite idea, but I definitely hope to cover a wide range of topics that matter to me. Which means that the blog will most likely contain posts/rants about politics, movies, music, travels, diary entries, religion - basically things that thrill, amuse or upset me.

Warning: You will not find anything about sports in this blog. Those who know me know that physical exercise is anathema for me, even though I have sufficiently good genes for it not be painfully obvious :)
