A mind-field of randomness, adventure, provocation & ambition. The ramblings of a man who likes to think.

The Odyssey Expedition
This YouTube channel is definitely worth a watch -it follows a guy who attempts to travel to every country in the world without using air travel.
First Post
I'll start by letting you know a little bit about me and telling you why I've started this blog as well as what you can expect from my posts (although that's never certain).
I'm a twenty something from Yorkshire in England. Brought up by my mother in a small, former industrial town - which has little in the way of excitement or opportunities. But with lots of support and a generous helping of ambition I managed to go on adventures around the world, giving me a taste of what was out there. I studied at a prestigious University, hitch-hiked to Africa, played with bands, partied with millionaires & celebrities, got wasted with rockstars, worked on huge events, then slogged at a few dead end jobs and other hiccups. All of this in 23 short years. Now I'm in a comfortable, yet menial 9-5 office job and living back at my Mother's. As I find myself coming upto my 24th birthday I realise I am at a crossroads, it is now I need to decide which path I will take. Will I go for the route of adventure, excitement and spontaneity or will I relax into the comfort of conformity?
I have lots of things which I want to do over the next 2 years; some fun and some outrageous, it's sure to be an interesting journey whatever the weather, this being one of the reasons I've started 'Joe's Blog' - so that I can tell other people about what's going on and the world can be involved.
Another thing I love to do is share good content I find on the internet, so expect a good mixture of music & video posts thrown in, along with outbursts, stories, posts about what I've done up to now and writing about my plans for the future. Along with a battering of political commentary and themes which tickle my fancy.
I don't want to give too much away just now but all will gradually be revealed. Follow me on Twitter and remember to follow my blog.
