Look At Me Now

It's hard to know what to put in a first post, or rather, what not to put in it! It would be impossible to list every moment and everything that has happened in my life to make me who I am today and where I am today, in an attempt to explain who on earth I am! It would also probably be a futile exercise since I assume the vast majority, if not all, of people reading this know me anyway and you probably all have a slightly different idea in your head and heart of who 'George' is anyway.

So, to keep it short....like me!!!...I'll simply say that as I type this moment, I'm a relatively recently ordained Anglican Priest, working as a Curate in a Team Ministry in a Parish that serves 3 churches and a population of about 20,000 people in the East Midlands of England (though I've lived, studied and/or worked in a few places, this is where I currently am).  I have a huge love of various shapes and shades of rock and metal music (indeed the more musically-minded amongst you will soon notice that all my post titles are song titles or lyrics, and mainly rock or metal songs).  And since God, music and my life are all so completely and totally entwined, many posts will probably mention one or the other, or more invariably, both, But there is much more to me than this, so there will still be several posts that mention neither my faith or my music -indeed, my mind is currently processing thoughts on cats, chocolate, conspiracy theories, politics, mental illness, equality issues, jokes, Coronation Street, past relationships, new relationships, contradictions, tea, travel, friends, family, pain, social networking, films, university days, and hair dye, and that's just an average Tuesday night in the life of George...

So the only thing left to say at this stage is that the frequency I post on this blog will probably be a bit erratic.  I might post 3 times one week and then nothing for a fortnight, will just see how it goes really!

And finally, so there really is no confusion of who is writing this (and clearly not because I'm overly vain!), here's a couple of photo of me!lol

  1. Interesting that you describe Grimsby as being in the East Midlands. I've never really associated myself with that region in truth, although I was born in and have lived in Grimsby all my life. I always tell folk I'm from "oop norf" when they ask, although clearly not THAT far north! Despite the rivalry with Hull, I do prefer to think of Grimsby as being in the "Yorkshire & Humber" region!

  2. I agree with Barry, I'd never have said I was from east midlands. I normally just say the east coast. And I'm going to start up a guess the blog title songs/band. This ones bullet for my valentine, right? I saw them at Leeds festival this year for the first time since college. I forgot how much I loved them! Still fancy matt tucker as well. ;)

  3. Yeah I ummmed and errred about what to put about location, but decided I didn't want to be as specific as saying Grimsby in case any weirdo's out there wanted to stalk me!haha..yes I have a vivid imagination!
    Also, I've lived in the Midlands much of my life so I guess sticking that lable on it was natural for me.
    But I like that we all say something slightly different..I'm sure it says something about us!
