I feel it’s important that if we’re going to be friends I should start with a confession.
If I’m honest, this page exists solely to house my opinions collection. I’ve never been much of a hoarder, but over the years I seem to have casually amassed a vast supply of opinions, the minuscule value of which I am only now beginning to comprehend.
Moreover it seems that, without realising it, I have developed a deep and all-consuming passion for displaying this collection to as many people as possible, regardless of their level of interest.
I can’t help myself.
While you smile passively back at me from across the pub table I will thrust my preconceived ideas about life into your face, like an aggressively corpulent woman manipulating your lager-addled mind into buying plastic roses because they’re ‘for charity’.
And so I created lifeoutof10, and by Aslan I intend to use it. Here’s the theory…
If I can buy a vacuum cleaner based solely on the online review of a total stranger who I will never meet – and who, for all I know, is currently sitting up to his/her breasts in broken, ill-purchased vacuum cleaners – then surely I can submit a few of my own reviews back to the ether. The plan is to post reviews on things, people, concepts and experiences – from the depths of the terminally mundane to the giddy heights of the marginally important.
I know EXACTLY what you’re thinking;
“The tone of this blog is so far displaying the kind of pretentiously self-imposed, bilious outlook on life that made Jack Dee slightly tiresome all those years ago in the late 90s before I caught debilitating herpes. This person is surely going to be negative about everything, n’est-ce pas?”.
Well fear not, good reader; when the mood takes me I can also be pretentiously over-enthusiastic! Thank goodness, I hear you burble.
So, there you go. when I figure out how to use this programme (i.e. someone shows me) I will add clever graphics, links galore and incredible cash prizes.
Until then we’ll just have to see how it evolves.
