The First of My Thoughts

I do an awful lot of thinking. Probably too much, but that's the kind of person I am. My name is Steven, I'm a twenty year old Englishman living in Switzerland. I'm an aspiring author, a left-wing socialist and an anti-theistic atheist. I enjoy sports a lot. I'm a big fan of Chelsea FC when it comes to football and I also like FC Basel. When the sport is basketball, I'm a fan of the Boston Celtics (after my brother pressured me to pick a team) and I follow the NBA with a keen eye. I follow American football less attentively, probably because my team is the hopeless Jacksonville Jaguars. To be honest, there aren't many sports I don't like. Cricket, Baseball and Golf are the only three that spring to mind.

So why am I writing all this? Well the first reason is simply the title of this blog. I've got nothing better to do. The second reason is I like to think out loud. This seems to be a socially acceptable way of doing that. The third reason is as I stated earlier, I'm an aspiring author and this seems to be a good way to keep writing. So where do I start? I could start with the idiotic prick that is Nigel Farage and his fear of breastfeeding. He says it's embarrasing to others and can make them uncomfortable. Well Nigel, I don't know what all people think, but I think I can safely say that a significant number of British people are embarrased and made uncomfortable by you, so if you could hide away in a corner, that'd be great. Well that was fun and a little cathartic, what's next? Tony Blair says politicians are underpaid. Given the state of the country right now and especially the state of politics, I find this a very difficult opinion to agree with. It's also worth pointing out that I have no respect for Tony Blair as he is the Prime Minister that took Britain into Iraq and Afghanistan, following George W. Bush like a good little lapdog. I think I'll go for one more. #CameronMustGo has been trending for two weeks now. It's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks that a tory multi-millionaire, who was a member of as vile a group as the Bullingdon Club and who is currently squeezing the British working class for all they've got, should not be Prime Minister. Quite frankly I'm not surprised almost half of Scotland wanted independence from that wanker as he personifies everything Scotland hates about England.

Well this was fun, I think I'll do it again. I welcome your opinions on any and all of these matters, because thinking out loud to myself can get boring and I love a good debate/discussion. If there's an issue you'd like to hear my thoughts on, I'd be more than happy to give my opinion on it. Well, that's all I've got for now, thanks for reading this.
