A question that many people are asked with an expectation that they have an answer:
"What do you want to do with your life?"
Well, I am 32 years old this year and I still don't know. I know what I am doing and where that is taking me but I don't think that is the same thing.
I would like to DJ at Womb in Japan (http://www.womb.co.jp/) or Amnesia in Ibiza.
I would like to create the next top club anthem or write and release a tune capable of making the top 10.
I would like to cure the worlds ill and make a difference to some of our less privileged friends around the world.
The question is not "what do you want to do with your life" but "what are you capable of doing with your life" or possibly even "what boring mundane job would you like to do until you retire".
This is not to say that I am not happy in my job or that I don't appreciate the fact that I have a good job. All I am saying is that it does not bring an awful lot of excitement and,when all is said and done, my work will not have made a blind bit of difference to the progression of the human race. I mean an IT Service Management role will hardly set the world alight or cause people to stop and think.
I think I am reasonably influential and bring a lot more to enrich the lives of those around me than just IT. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I am destined to work in IT and maybe, just maybe, I will have the opportunity to make a difference but it doesn't appear to be coming anytime soon.
The biggest problem, of course, is the fact that I am a lazy arse and will unlikely go out and search for that excitement that I so yearn.

It's been a long time coming....
Firstly, I would like to apologise to my loyal "army" of "fans".
I have proven not only to myself but also to you that as much as I want to commit to something and make and effort, my attention span will simply not allow it. Take this blog, which was designed to be a bit like an online diary. I haven't updated it for 2 months which kind of implies that I have done nothing and have no thoughts or burning issues.
The truth of the matter is unfortunately more depressing than that. The truth is that I am lazy and maybe the lack of large audience makes it easier for me to decide that my blog has no worth. However, this blog was not designed to rake in massive numbers of readers. This blog was designed to be a place for me to document my own thoughts regardless of anyone else's interest.
So, there you have it, I am a lazy twat.
