The First Day


At first you should be introduced to the rather interesting hero of this blog. His name is Jack Dean and his life is strange, but some people may find it very interesting. This story is for those such people.

Jack Dean is 24, he likes music, movies, art and literature - which doesn't make him stand out from the crowd. He dresses smart/casual at both day and night time events and enjoys Reese's Peanut Butter Cups very much. His legs are quite long, and his head relatively oval.

Many things go through Jacks head, but only one thing goes through on a regular basis - for day in, day out, the only thing that concerns Jack is his career in The Motion Picture Business.

As this story begins he works in an international film company, and is writing a film with his friend that will start shooting in the near future. But all is not well in Jacks life - he finds he has a lot to say, but often finds he doesn't say it before the thought leaves his head. You see, there are that many things going through Jacks oval head. And so today, on the 4th March 2009, he decided he will discover the point of blogging on the internet.

When he sat down to write it for the first time, he realised how late in the craze of blogging he was, so much so that perhaps the craze had passed and it must be called something else. A past-time perhaps. But he made a promise to himself: "today" he thought "is the day I start writing things down that may or may not make sense, today is the day people I will never meet will be able to read my most intimate thoughts and perhaps even some of them will mistake my opinions as fact!" He hesitated at this thought, for his relationship with the internet was one that fluxed from love to hate very often. Many times it turned to hate when uneducated people quoted opinions they had read online as facts, when people were tempted into the dark sides of life through it, or when the glorious freedom that is free speech was abused on it. "Then perhaps I will write my life and thoughts as a story, in the 3rd person, with a false name - then no-one can think it fact, or judge me by a rant, or point fingers if my thoughts are controversial!" And so this is what he did.

The 4th March, 2009 then became a special day in Jacks life.

It was the day he discovered how to get those thoughts out of his oval head before they left and were replaced by others.

It was the first day... of a very interesting story.
