Welcome to the Observation Blog

This is The Observation Blog. It is the window on the internet into the world of me, Jimmi Cottam. From the bizarre and strange to the true and delightful, here lies stuff that goes on around me. And this is my chance to get my opinion out there because anyone can write a blog and put it up on the internet. You could say this is what I do when I get bored but in some ways...wait, yeah. It is. But seriously, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and have a goosey...I'm not stopping you from seeing the broad spectrum of what an "ordinary" person sees and goes through day in and day out. Have fun and enjoy!

Now, I am sorry...

The other day, I wrote a post on the comedy rock band Wormrot. I do beg your pardon; death metal band Wormrot. It's so hard not to get these mixed up. I received a comment on this which shocked me a little...I didn't know anyone read this but it shows what I know. I thought it was just a bit of fun to keep my thought on archive so I could look back and laugh. The following comment was what was posted

"Spoken with the wit and grace of pig's ar*e. Do your research on things before running them down and displaying your uninformed opinion.

PS. Why does someone like you have a blog? Who considers these shi**ings on as an important enough to read on a daily basis?"

I was quite humbled. Someone had gone out of their own way to (badly) get back to me and tell me why what I did was biblically wrong and bang out of order...

I, however, didn't think I was wrong, for a number of reasons...

1. "Spoken with the wit and grace of a pig's ar*e..."
Wit AND grace? I wasn't being funny, I was genuinely being genuine.
2. "Do your research..."
I did do my research! I went to HMV and picked up the actual CD; read the actual names of the tracks; Something happened in here which involved laughing at the track names but the less said about that the better; I then actually put the CD down; went home; listened to a song called Fix Your Broken Mind on YouTube; thought "ahh, it is as ridiculous as I thought"; decided not give myself the burden of listening to a mind bending 20 more minutes of the stuff (because it's probably exactly the same); and wrote the blog. If that isn't research then I don't know what is.
3. "Your uninformed opinion..."
Yes, it is uninformed and yes, it is my opinion...Kudos! Well done. 10 points.
4. "Why does someone like you have a blog?..."
Because the kind people of Blogger have given me the opportunity, that's why.
5. "Who considers these shi**ings on as an important enough to read on a daily basis?"
I'm going to clean that up in the grammatical and linguistic sense...
"Who considers your words important enough to read on a daily basis?"
I had to make it make sense because I had trouble deciphering the enigma of the bad grammar. If people don't like what they're reading, there is a big X in the corner. Click that and it will all go away. Finally, if your reading my words and don't consider them to be that important that you simply have to comment, then doesn't that just prove that you have just read it in it's entirety?

I must say, it made my day reading that. I probably wouldn't have know if I hadn't been told. I started this blog as a bit of fun. I even said in my first post that it was a light hearted outlook. But there's always one. I even said 'Don't 'ave a go!' So for that, I am sorry.
Sorry for having a sense of humour.
Sorry for not doing enough "research"
Sorry for having an opinion.
Sorry for starting a blog.
Sorry for making sentences understandable.
Sorry for disowning that one person who loves Wormrot (The band, not actual worm rot. That would be disgusting).

I promise you I will never post something like this ever again for at least 10 minutes...
