Hello world…is anyone listening?
Hahaha…nope, probably not.
If this blog were to be a coffee shop, it wouldn’t be the well-loved chains of the world (Starbucks will always have my heart), or even the hip-new trendy, coffee bar that only serves the highest quality, fresh sourced beans and has the largest selection of nut milks from nuts that you weren’t even aware milk could be produced from. Instead, it would rather be the kind at the end of a high street, in a quaint little village: a little dilapidated, filled with a mismatch of furniture, mediocre coffee and rustic looking cakes. This doesn’t matter though, as that perfectly reflects me: a little bit messy, quirky, odd and filled with all sorts of bits and bobs, trying to live ‘the life of Riley’ but, in reality, stumbling through, one day a time.
I make this comparison, as this blog is sort of similar to a coffee shop, a place to sit down and have a drink, get on with work, mull over life, or shoot dagger like glances at the person loudly slurping their drink two seats away from you. So…for anyone who has decided to step on in, welcome to ‘The Life of Riley: Musings of a Coffee Addict’, where no amount of caffeine will ever suffice. This blog will house all of my eccentric musings, ranging from thoughts and opinions on pop culture, books, TV, film and perhaps even my reflections on the current news landscape.
Whatever your interests may be, I hope that you enjoy entering my metaphorical coffee shop and sit down for a latte, espresso, a classic cuppa (or maybe even a cheeky night cap, depending on your persuasion) as you take in all my musings, and perhaps even join in with your own.
However you end up interacting with this blog, just know that I’m the person in the corner, tapping away on their keyboard, headphones on, trying to solve my problems with yet another latte.
