Well here it is sports fans, welcome to Stewpot’s House!
After various conversations over the years, I have come to the realisation that the life I live has a few aspects to it which can be seen as fairly interesting to some people. My nearest & dearest have an understanding of how deeply rooted I care about some of the things I’ll come to discuss, but I think it’s about time, instead of boring them by rambling on, I am going to try my hand at writing down my thoughts, in the hope that there may be other people out there who care to listen to what I’ve got to say, and maybe even take some inspiration from it, or whatever. I will be mainly talking about what I enjoy in life. From how I spend my time with loved ones, what and where I like to eat, finding joy in where I like to shop and the clothes I buy. As well as, naturally, the music I like to listen to. I appreciate it won’t be for everyone, and a lot of people who open this will likely close it imminently after, but for those who stick around, thank you.
The reason I am going at this through a website is because I’m getting fairly tired of this world of instant gratification which we find ourselves living in; how there is a constant stream of short form media being blasted into our skulls when we plug ourselves in to the Social Media Matrix every day. I feel it’s time to take a minute or two to appreciate a slightly different form of online bollocks.
So basically, there are a few things in life which I care about enormously, and they are music, menswear, and munching on nice food. I’m going to use this space as a place to speak about different aspects of these three things, and how / why they make me happy. I should note that in no way do I think any of my thoughts are gospel and that everyone should agree or follow, I just think it would be nice to get my thoughts out there. And I’d also like to note that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing when it comes to writing, so if anything is illiterate or grammatically wrong or anything, I apologise in advance.
To start, I want to talk a little bit about when I was at school, which is a bit random, but stick with it. I was always fairly good at Maths and the Sciences, and in the way that the conveyor belt of education operates, it meant that I pursued these subjects not because I was particularly interested in them but only because I was good at them. I didn’t mind some aspects of it, but they never got me particularly excited, to say the least. And then the same thing happened with University, pursuing a degree purely due to the fact it could offer me a good career – which by the way, I have no issue with – it’s just, only recently am I discovering that there is a side of me that can no longer be ignored. I always knew I had a strong balance of both left and right-side thinking, creatively and logically, but the urge to talk about clothes, art, food, and music is now higher than my interest in talking about numbers ever was.
However, that is not to say I don’t still think about things through both of these lenses, and I do believe all of the things aforementioned, can be viewed as both an art and a science, which I think is brilliant, and will explore further down the line.
So, in being aware of the fact I don’t want to overwhelm you with too much bullshit in one go, I’ll leave this here for now. But, below you’ll be able to find links to introductions for each aspect of the website, which you can read at your own peril.
Thank you,
Stewpot
