The Oliver Rawlings Blog: Welcome and Come In!
Hello and welcome to the Oliver Rawlings Blog, my little corner of the internet where I get to sit all of you down to hear my take on love, life and the universe! With the growth of everything digital and the internet, smartphones and Twitter creeping into the edges of my life as I grew up into the man I’ve become, I started to become a blog addict. No, seriously, I’m fascinated by the lives other people live; by the places they go, by the opinions they hold, by the things they have to say and the thoughts they have to share. I think it’s marvellous; blogging is this personal chance to put yourself out there and connect to people who can change you in so many ways. I’ve heard that once you set up a blog, you never go back, so after years of listening to what everybody else had to say, I thought I’d let everyone listen to me for a change!
So, now you’ve heard why I’ve entered the blogosphere maybe we should touch on what I actually have to say? Well, you should all know that I’m just an average guy in my 20’s, clocking on and off, socialising in my spare time, having a laugh, reading and learning as I grow and enter the quite frankly scary years of early adulthood, and that’s what this blog is. Just me. Just my take on life, my take on what I find interesting. My take on what’s going on in the world. My take on where it all goes from here. Just one man’s opinion.
But there again one man’s opinion can change lives, we’ve seen it countless times through history. OK, I’m never going to be Martin Luther King Jr, Mother Theresa or Barack Obama, but I’ve got opinions and I want to get them out there. Who knows, in a few weeks, months or years’ time you could be sitting there with this blog open in front of you, and you could read an article that alters your perceptions, makes you grow as a person, or just opens up your mind a little; even if it’s about something as trivial as the fun you can get out of taking a weekend flight to Prague. Who knows, in my own way, I could make a difference.
Saying that I have a diverse range of interests and since the old writer adage that it’s better to write about what you know often turns out to be the best way to do it, that’s how I’m going to approach it. Obviously, travel is one of my interests and I can’t wait to take you on a digital trip around the globe. My other interests include life, current events, culture, music, literature and technology, just to name a few.
I may have rambled on a bit, but I hope I’ve made you feel welcome to the Oliver Rawlings Blog and I hope you take the time to have a look around. Who knows, you may just like what you see.
