Right then. To business.

I created this blog in April 07, ostensibly to allow me the self-indulgent luxury of a soap box on which to spew forth my self-righteous, bullshit-averse views. Then I realised that the kind of people I see doing this piss me off because they're... well.. kinda self-righteous.

Having said that, it was only a matter of time before something triggered my ire and we'd be underway once again. That something came to me a day or two back, more on that later.

I figure before I utter one more word of opinion I'd better spell out what I'm about.

Matt is obviously not my real name, I don't think anyone on the net uses their real name, and why would you? Who wants some arsehole looking your name up in the phonebook and coming around your place to kick your arse over a blog post? If you look up a Matt Aden in the phone book and beat the shit out of him because of something sad on here then I'm telling you right now you've got the wrong idea.

Anyway...

I'm an IT professional in my late-twenties. I come from a middle class New Zealand family with moderate-to-conservative values that I naively rebelled against at university, only because it was so 'cool' to do so. Never mind that the overwhelming majority of students came from identical backgrounds to my own.

Anyway, I got over that and formed my OWN views on the world. Funny, I always thought that was what university was all about, strangely I didn't do any of this until years after I left.

What gets me wound up nowadays? In a nutshell: Soft-minded liberal crap. The pandering of my (and any other) country's government to minority interest groups at the expense of the majority. The moral indignation of the ultra conservatives, the chest-beating extremists of the political spectrum, and so on.

So yeah, basically, if it's on the far left or right, I'll bitch about it. Oh and if it's just plain vanilla-flavoured stupidity I'll have a word to say about it.

Plus I'll chuck in anything else I feel like. Who cares? No one will read this tripe anyway.
