The death of intellectualism – My first little podcast

The death of intellectualism.

Oh and one more thing

I may do a podcast to embrace 2009. Bet you can’t wait to hear what I sound like.

…and a happy new year

Ahh it’s good to be back.

Well then, all of you loyal enough to still be reading after my very uncouth and presumptuous hiatus, a new year approaches and, as is traditional in western society, it is time for resolutions!

I can hear you moaning through my keyboard already.

Recently however I have been giving this cultural quirk some thought and perhaps it is not as pointless and pious as it sounds. There is some sense in embarking out on a journey of some mental, physical or for some spiritual self discipline as we usher in another cycle of the earth around the sun. That way a we have a milestone to measure ourselves by, and a sense of being a part of something greater than ourselves (sounds vaguely religious).

As such I am decided. I will resolve myself this new year.

This left me with a problem however. With new years coming in the next 48 hours I was left bereft of any inspiration as to what to deny myself or what morally acceptable practice to indulge myself in.

I am much too infatuated with my vices and far too busy for any moral achievements, so what was I to do? Fortunately, you my lovelies have come to my aid. I have resolved that this year I will provoke a thought in each of your minds and have you do the same to me.

So you can expect a lot more from me as I will from you. Looking forward to our adventures together through all that is trivial.

Thank you for reading and

Happy New Year!
