h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

These can be so difficult to write as each of us feels that they have a lot to say but where to start?
The only solution that I have found is these stupid quetions at the begining. Why write a journal anyway? I suppose that for myself it is just a desire to write. Who wants to read them? Everybody, wheteher we admit it or not we are all nosey, we love listening in to other peoples lives and hearing about there problems so that we can go away feeling a little bit more smug and self satisfied. So really that is all that journals seem to be, an eye into other peoples lives so that we can feel that our own aren't so bad. Journals and diaries have for a long time been the subject of much debate, for instance just take into account the Hitler diaries, there was a lot of fuss about those and the thing is that journals are a record of what has already happened and very rarely are used to learn to avoid problems and mistakes. But I'm going to write this one anyway, what the heck? Alothough I've found that in the past my writing has been very sporadic in both frequency and content with many deciding factors from free time to alcohol intoxication to actually having something to write about.
