Bout time.

So I figured it was about time I started a blog. I write stuff up on my Bebo all the time but I'm never sure how many people read it. I realise that blogging is the internet equivalent of standing on a box on some street corner, waffling on about stuff no-one cares about, but I can, so I am!

To be honest, my biggest hurdle has always been starting something. I have enough Internet haunts to be able to find stuff to post, but starting a blog is intimidating. Do you assume everyone knows you? No-one knows you? Tell everything about yourself and maybe bore the trousers off everyone before you really get stuck in. I think I'll choose a safe middle ground and tell you about myself but try to keep it brief.

My name is Conor, I'm a 23 year old male from Ireland. I play American Football for a team called the DCU Saints, which in itself makes me fairly interesting, I think. This was my rookie season (details of which can be regaled here) and it was fun. I'm already looking forward to next season, so I can do more stuff like this and this.

I've been with my girlfriend, Claire, for nearly 5 years now and, while I love her, she's turned me into a bit of a sap. Tears well up when I watch videos like this and when I see cute puppehs or kittehs I ALWAYS go awww. That would have never happened five years ago ;)

Other interesting things about me

1. I can do a Rubicks Cube in 5 minutes.
2. Usain Bolt is my new favourite athlete.
3. I own over 200 DVDs.
4. I'm a pretty big reader but lately books have bored me. Anyone got any ideas?

Right, well, that's pretty much my first blog out of the way. Phew! See ye next time.
