'My Own Blogging Narnia'

Ahh, my blog. How I've missed you, snowed under by university foul-ups, exam foul-ups, life foul-ups in general. But now I'm back in my niche, my home away from home, Blogspot, and everything it has to offer, like an old pair of slippers. I've missed the way you continually crash mid-blog, preventing me from writing The Ultimate Blog, the Blog to end all Blogs- wait a minute, an email!

That's right, last week I received a lovely, yet dubious-looking email from somebody called 'Jemma@Videojug'. Whilst this may sound like a porn star, she was in fact from a website called videojug.com, which was 'looking for talented and new writers'- uh-huh, that's me. Smug much. Thinking this was probably too good to be true, possibly owing to the fact the email went straight to my Spam folder, I went on with some trepidation, whacking 'videojug' into a search engine. It seemed authentic enough. It was the first entry, and looked pretty credible. Unless it was an elaborate hoax from David Sullivan, whom I've previously slagged off on this blog, or a real-life Truman Show trick played on me, it seemed genuine.

The first thing I saw when I logged onto this 'Videojug' was a video entitled 'How to put on a condom'. I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting into, and 'Jemma@Videojug' was starting to sound increasingly like a porn star. The next thing I saw was 'How to be a good kisser- personalised for you'. Now they were just being insulting. Once I stepped back from the horror, and had seen enough of a Scottish woman putting a condom on a banana, I pulled back the wardrobe door and saw into my own blogging Narnia. There were fauns on every corner, waiting to take me back for tea and warning me against the perils of the Blogging White Witch. It was a bit like being told you had a key to Wonka's factory. I didn't know where to start, I wanted to look at the chocolate river of football blogs, while the imp of the perverse inside me wanted to look at more condom-applying blogs, and find a blogging Oompa-Loompa. Poor, dear Augustus Gloop.

Essentially, 'Higgsy's Blogsys' is taking somewhat of a backseat, while I'm off with my new mistress, Videojug. Although there is nothing wrong with Blogspot, in the manner of Ashley cheating on Cheryl, I just need something new, something shiny, something which apparently offers the prospect of meeting other bloggers. Fascinating.

Anyway, if you get the chance, head over to the other side, where the grass is always greener. You may notice a shift in style, and content. This is largely due to the fact that you can only say so many things about being a Blues fan before you start to depress people, and secondly, I feel I need to widen my audience beyond the hardy, loyal few who appreciate my sporting musings. Rest assured though, that I will, sooner or later, be setting up a second blog, purely on sport. And rest assured that this does not mark the death of Higgsy's Blogsys. It is just the beginning.
