Introduction

Guys, gals and goofballs - hello and thank you for visiting my blog.

I suspect that you aren't as excited as I am that you're here, but that's OK, that is a common happening in most aspects of my life.

This blog is my second blog and it's going to be good - good like a hot shower and warm socks.
I won't write anything that doesn't have a bucket load of goodness to it, simply because there's far too many good things in this world. Any excuse I tried to give you about why it's not good would be like a sheep farmer telling you that you can't have lamb for dinner because he doesn't have access to sheep.

I’ve never considered myself an academic, which is fair because I don’t think anyone has ever considered me an academic.
But I'm going to write about extraordinary things, which can sometimes be perceived as ordinary things. I could give you my perception of the incredible stages of evolution on one day and the next day it could be my perception of why I found so much happiness in discovering that avocado and jam taste superb together on toast.

There are things in this vast universe that too many of us don't know about and would never think about. Things that would bring meaning to other things and would make you feel richer just for reading about it.

My inspiration comes from two people; one is my father, Ant (like the insect, but short for Anthony - pronounced anne-ton-ie) and the other is Bill Bryson (like the travel writer - exactly like the travel writer because it is him.) Father has inspired me with his contagious curiosity about the stars, the planets and the universe. He appreciates and understands how extraordinary it is, that humans are here and has blessed me with the motivation to search, seek and destroy (just kidding, it should say discover.) Hey - shout out to my Da!



Bill Bryson wrote a book called A Short History of Everything in 2003 and has given an incredible wealth of knowledge to my otherwise uninformed little brain. I feel like a better person for having read his book and aspire to be as great as him one day (vomit, listen to me.) A lot of my work from this point on, as I seek to be an accomplished writer, will be fueled by his book and all the research and exploring he has done. Cheers Billy.



Like many Gen Ys I suffer from impatience, a little bit of narcissism and the attention span of gold fish. But I will endeavour to make this experience as little about me as possible and will continually touch on interesting subjects.

I look forward to you reading.
