First post ever…

First of all, forgive the state of the place, still tweaking the design and am waiting for a nice drawing to use as banner (don’t really like having the name on it’s own, rather have a doodle).

This blog represents both an amazing opportunity for myself and an terrible defeat. On one side, I’ll be able to post my random thoughts for people to read, as well as some pieces of fiction; on the other, this blog means I’ve crumbled to peer pressure. I’ve spent quite a few years of my life just flat out refusing to blog. Of course, there’s a reason for it, every blog I’d seen in the past were the “Dear Diary” blog type, where the owner just wrote about his or her day, how many bananas they’d eaten that day and who’d been a bitch/bastard/sweetie/lover to them…not my kinda thing (pretty much the same reason I loathe Twitter, but that’s for another day); but lately, I’ve been reading a friend’s blog, and it’s different, it’s intelligent, eloquent (though quite rant-y and he complains way to much), so my opinion and belief has been progressively changing. For that, I just have to say, I HATE YOU, YOU BASTARD! Thanks to you, I don’t have an excuse anymore…

Taking that into consideration, you will never see a “dear diary” post in this blog, and if it does happen, it’ll be a sign of the coming end of the world. What you will see are my opinions on controversial topics (and fair warning, I’m not politically correct, not by a longshot), my thoughts on things that interest me (a wide range of very geeky stuff) and whatever story/characters/worlds I come up with…

By now, reading that introduction/rant, you should have a pretty nice idea on why I named this blog The Attic, but if you’re not sure or are just plain dumb, I’ll spell it out. An attic is the space between the roof of a house (mostly on pitched roofs) and the ceiling, commonly used as a storage space. If you see the blog’s URL, you’ll see a very pretty word, “mental“, meaning, well, MIND. The mental attic is the place in my head where I store every single crap that goes through my it at any given time, be it an idea on how to beat the last boss in a video game or an epic story to write down during the weekend…Sadly, the place is getting kinda crowded, so I need to start clearing it, and this blog is the dumpster…Sure, not the nicest description for the place, but it’s the truth; it’s the place where I’ll dump whatever it is that I need to get out of my head…

There aren’t really any rules concerning comments, write whatever the hell you want, even if you’re just writing “Fuck you, Kevin” (which, believe it or not, I hear quite frequently); I just expect you not to “troll” (god I hate internet slang…and memes, but again, not a topic for today). If you want to wish upon me an aztec curse, have the decency to explain why, put your thoughts down in a (semi) intelligent way…besides, if you are cursing me, the dark god of your choice will want a legitimate reason, so being eloquent here kills two birds with one nuke. 

I think that’ll be enough as an introduction (and to scare away any potential reader), so for now, see ya…
