Breaking the duck

To those of you curious enough to read ahead, good luck to you.

Ahead awaits a forest of carnage and destruction, a winding pathway of competetive spirit, and the occasional glistening sparkle of wisdom.

You will get an insight into the mind of the not-at-all-average Joe, as he delves into another chapter in his life.

I can only apologise for the fact that this journey starts right in the heart of the action - 27 years, 6 months and 15 days since his creation. It's a wonder to believe what has become of this young fellow, as he slowly negotiates the rickety bridge of manhood...

...not a bad introduction if I do say so myself, though it probably makes this seem a bit more interesting than it might actually be. I'd like to think you read that as though listening to the start of a Disney film, or as though it were read by Brian Blessed. If not, re-read it in such a manner. It becomes much more dramatic.

For what it's worth, here is a little insight into me;

I am 27 years old (6 months, and 15 days)
I was born in Hastings, but currently live in London.
I am engaged to a particularly beautiful and excitable Colombian, who has encouraged me to start a blog. We are to wed in Colombia in June 2015.
I'm learning Spanish.
I work in Theatre Management in a West End venue.
I have just starting reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, having read them all in order thus far.
My interests are to be listed as the following, in no particular order;

• Football
• Formula 1
• Football Manager 2014
• PS4 (particularly GTA5 at the moment)

In turn I will introduce you to each segment of my life and interests, as though you are reading from 4 different books at the same time. I will colour code them, so that you can decipher whether I'm talking about real life, or computer game fiction.

Though you have missed out on 27 and a half years of my existence, you do join me at a rather exciting time - particularly if you have the same interests as me (I'd like to think you at least have some curiosity);

• Crewe Alexandra, the team I have supported since I was about 10, are in a mighty relegation battle at the foot of League 1. With 3 games remaining, they have their fate in their own hands, but it will be rather tight. They play tonight against Colchester United in a must-not-lose game!
• Liverpool, the team I supported from the ages of about 7-10 are top of the Premier League, and are on the verge of winning the title for the first time since 1990! I don't support them these days, but consider them my 'number 2' team.
• The new F1 season is merely weeks old. We have just enjoyed a weekend of action from the Shanghai International Circuit in China, the 4th race of the season. I will be delving into the intricacies of my F1 passion in my next post.
• Playstation wise, on GTA5 online I have just created myself a new character and removed my level 132 from the game. It was a bit of a wrench, but we've got to keep things fresh...
• FM14 - I will, at some point, go into the details of this game as it is immense and immersive. I will almost certainly start a new save file, which can be followed through this blog.

Right, I think that's sufficient warning. Off we go!
