begin the begin

i feel like i've made quite a few leaps in my life in the the last few months so a blog was almost inevitable. not sure if i'm just just keeping up with the crowd or whether i think i'm going to create a vital historical source for future generation s(just started a History PGCE so my head's full of stuff like evidence and sources at the moment). it's probably just because we've just got the internet in our house finally and i've been hooked on what everyone else is writing on these things.

in case you we wondering the title of the blog is part of a quote from Northern Exposure. if you haven't seen it there's an episode where Chris in the morning is building a trebuchet to hurl a cow through the air but a distraught when ed tells him that monty python have already done it. As "repetition is the death of art" he struggles to find something else to fling. the final scene sees chris catapult a piano after coming to the conclusion (with the help of jung) that it's all about the journey and "the self is that which is in the process of becoming" and therefore "it's not the thing you fling; it the fling itself!"
