This time of year

I was Christmas shopping with mum the other day, I looked around and realised something.

No one look happy while Christmas shopping.

Seriously, none of the shop assistants, the shoppers, most the middle-aged suburban mum's. None of them looked happy buying gifts for loved ones. In this materialistic world, when we're getting something for someone else, we don't enjoy it.

Ah well, it'll be over for another year in 4 days.

Merry Christmas!

First post

Well, I've decided for this to be my main blog from now on, which I'll update from time to time.

A bit about myself? My name's Tim. I wont go into all the details like a/s/l or anything that'll put my identity at risk. I like music, which you can check out at my last.fm. add me if you wish. I have tastes in music that range from brutal to beautiful, you could say. I listen to stuff no one's ever heard of before. Well, locally. You, faithful reader, probably have. I like games, too. Mainly FPS like Half-Life of Team Fortress 2. On PC, of course, the elitest platform. None of this console crap.

I've been called cynical. And I've noticed it myself. I seriously don't understand or like 90% of western society. Sounds slighty misanthropic, I know. But I don't get the whole celebrity gossip or shallow TV shows about "the rich and famous". Ergh. I'll explain more later.

I'm also a Christian. I'm not gonna force any ideals or whatever on you, and I'll probably shatter that stereotype of a Christian that you have in your mind.

There's just a little glimpse into me.

So enjoy the blog.
