FAQ About My Blog

What is my blog? First of all, it's a blog, and so has most of the characteristics of most other blogs: it's available online, not very well written, and kind of pointless. It is different in that it does not target a niche, or really any sort of audience, is of no obvious value to anyone, and does not try to convince people otherwise.  I don't know how many posts I'll write, or what they'll be about. I intend to write regularly, and about topics I find interesting, but I have been known to be fickle when it comes to hobbies. To be fair to it, it's not meant to be good. I only started it to have a reason to write regularly, after all. It does not have a theme, let alone a niche theme. I might decide to write about movies one day, and then songs a week later. I don't promote it, and I haven't told anybody except my girlfriend, because, well, she's my girlfriend. What is it for? Primarily, it’s for my writing practice and am

Aluminium Foil Balls

My pride and joy. What are they? They're balls of aluminium foil. What are their uses? They are very versatile, and can be used for many things: paperweight, (bad) door stopper, toy, weapon, and aluminium foil storage, to name a few. My history with them My first meeting with aluminium foil was in the first standard. Like most moms, mine would wrap sandwiches and other assorted foodstuffs in the material. Like most kids, I would crumple it and play with it. But my interest went further. In my eyes, the purity of the aluminium was marred by the air in it, so I tried to bang all the air out of it. I ended up with a slightly denser, smaller ball. I couldn't compress it any further with my hands, but I wanted more density. My 10 year-old self's solution: More foil. So I added more foil, the source of which was the leftover from packed lunches. This also meant there were a lot of tiny pieces of food in the ball. I often wondered what would happen to them.

Hello There.

Yes, you. How are you this fine morning/afternoon/evening? Cool, cool. Welcome to my blog. I intend to keep writing it as a hobby, regardless of how popular it gets. Of course, it wouldn't hurt if it got popular. As a responsible consumer, it is your job to tell me if you think I'm doing something wrong, or could do it better. I don't promise to agree, but I will listen. Probably. This blog has no central theme, and the only defining characteristic is that the posts have almost nothing to do with each other, except that I find the topics interesting. If you ask me, it's not a very good one, but then what do I know about writing? Anyway, see you.
