To start....

Yes to start. Blogging is a good idea - i guess but wht would I want my life exposed to the entire internet public?
Why would every Tom, Dick and Harry (and i guess Sally, Sue and Jane) want to read about me?
Well I soppose not many if at all! So with that in mind I may as well start blogging for the absolutely meaningless escape it provides from all the other intensities and demands of human living.

My Life - a short glimpse.
I was born in the small South African town of Boksburg on May 8 1959. It must have been a good year!
A short while later my parents deemed it prudent to immigrate to the welcoming shores of Australia where we lived for 6 months in Sydney and then moved over to Tasmania to live in a little coastal area called Sulpher Creek between Launceston and Burnie on the north coast of the island.
We lived there for about 6 years at which time we returned by ship to South Africa. I had the auspicious priviledge of turning 8 years old on the trip! After staying in Durban for a few months we moved up to Modderfontein and later Johannesburg. At the age of 12 or 13 we moved back down to Durban where we stayed in Hillary for the remainder of my Primary School days. After completing high school at Queensburgh Boys High I did my national service in the South African Air Force where I worked as a chef. Two years later I started a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Following that I started work with computers and have been employed in that field ever since.
I am currently working at Standard Bank as an Integration Specialist.

So, that brings to an end my first blog. To all the potential readers out there who may come upon this and read it for long enough to get to this point, congratulations! You have completed something I did not expect you to!
To all of you who did not find this - don't worry, you have not missed out on anything! I am sure you have had far more important and pertinent things to do so good luck, carry on, don't dither or tarry - you may miss great opportunities in doing that.
