So, anyways

Wow a blog who'd a thunk it, eh? I like everyone else it seems, use twitter. (@tomwilliams88 Just so you know) but then it struck me, why bother with micro-blogging? Sometimes bigger REALLY IS better! For example, oh I don't know, just off the top of my head, pizza, or salaries, or rainbows or beds. Mmm yes, bigger is often better. So from micro-blogging to full on blogging, that's right from now on I'm stepping it up a gear.
Right now I'm wholly aware that I'm probably not talking to anyone, just myself and my laptop. It's 03:11 right now, I can hear the rain gently patter against the window of my small, but perfectly formed "einzelapartment" here in Würzburg Germany. Life is unquestionably good. I'm single, 21, living in a foreign country meeting new people experiencing new things and quite simply having the time of my life. I'll just give you all a break to get over your jealousy before I go on.
Right well that seems sufficient. I wonder how people can become minor celebrities through things like this. Do you think they just start off in some little starbucks in L.A. bitching about the other customers over their soy milk de-caff mochafrappalattes? Hmm there isn't even a Starbucks in this city, which honestly I think is something they should put on the signs as you come into town: Herzlich Willkommen in Würzburg, Gibt's hier noch kein Starbucks. Either as a warning or as a boast, depending on your view point, although I won't be disclosing mine here.

So anyways, there isn't a Starbucks here and it certainly isn't L.A. so I think I can say with a certain degree of well, erm, certainty that this blog won't be the catalyst that sends me soaring to new and previously unimaginable levels of celebrity. Which is nice, I'm kind of comfy here in my little single bed snuggled under the covers listening to the rain hit my window, completely and blissfully annonymous.
Make of it what you will, whoever you are, but there is a lot to say for not sticking out in a crowd. Much happiness can be found sat in the corner of a busy cafe reading a paper, or pretending to read as the case may be, and just covertly taking in the comings and goings around you. Spare a thought for the poor old Chameleon though, he's famous for blending in, which surely defeats the whole purpose, right? I wouldn't want to be him, that's all I'm saying.
So what can one take from the last couple of minutes they have spent reading my blog?
1. Bigger is sometimes better
2. Blending in is good
and
3. Chameleons have it tough!
