Disclaimer - Executive Summary

I am a young, naive, extremely inexperienced programmer and I often say idiotic things. If you think my posts are full of rubbish that is because they are.

MORE BACKGROUND ABOUT ME.

Before I get started on the actual content of this blog, I thought that I should give you loud and clear warning about what I am like so that you know what you are getting yourself in for.

I am male and 28 years old.

I do however act very much younger than my years. If you asked me how old I felt I would say about 20, perhaps younger. I can sometimes feel very much younger than even 20. Sometimes I feel very much like a child. But I don't have the sense of
child like wonder about the world, instead I have a child's timidity: "Will this be ok?", "Will I get hurt?", "Will I be punished?".

1) I am very timid and not fully developed.

This timidity has led me to shy away from situations that might have led me to become more 'worldy wise'. I often take refuge in my imagination, as opposed to exploring the world.

2) I am naive in many ways.

I have lived a very sheltered life up until the past 18 months, I lived at home until I started work. The sheltered nature of my life has led me have many naive, ideal, and unrealistic expectations about life.

3) I have idealistic expectations about life.

As my idealistic expectations clash with reality the expectations often get shattered, and this often leads me to become sad
and depressed.

4) I have a fairly gloomy and pessimistic outlook on life.


WARNING

You may read things on this blog that:

(a) upset you

(b) depress you

(c) make you go "what !?!? Are you crazy / stupid ?"

If that's the case come back to this entry and see if the writing reflects the traits that I have outlined here.

It's not my intent to upset or disrupt anyone's world view, that's almost never a good thing to do. So if something bothers you, please accept my apology: "I'm sorry to have upset you."

And please remember that this is just a blog. If I were to bet about whether I was right or wrong about anything, I'd bet a lot of money on being wrong.

All that being said I do hope that you get something worthwhile from this blog.

P.S. I know that I promised actual content, that's coming in the next entry, I just had to get this out of the way.
