Introductions and Definitions

Welcome to Infinite Lives.

So, why did I decide to start a blog and why call it Infinite Lives? Well, I used to avidly write a diary when I was younger and used to enjoy reading back over the years to see how much has changed. Looking back, I really was the centre of my own universe! A bit of a jumped-up know-it-all. However, time takes it toll and I lost interest in writing when I went through a bit of a dark patch in my life.

Of course, I wish I could turn back time so I could continue writing, but unfortunately, there's never a DeLorean time machine hanging around when you want one.

Why 'Infinite Lives'? Well, (raises hand) I'm proud to be a nerdy geek-type person and have been playing video games since I was about 6 years old. So (gulp), I'll be celebrating my 30-year anniversary as a gamer this year. That's an awful lot of hours, and possibly something not worth contemplating on a grander scale. 'Infinite Lives' is notoriously one of the more popular cheats that gamers have tried to use to get past a particular problem.

Furthermore, when the mind tends to wander (as it seems to a fair bit), I think about what I would be like if I would have done things differently. There's no regret in that statement at all. I'm very happy with my life, of which you will find out more about over the coming weeks. I wonder what I would be like in various alternate lives - it would be great to find out, so infinite lives is tied in to that as well.

So, anyway, welcome along - I'll try to keep a steady flow of content going, but feel free to nag me if radio silence seems to have been maintained for a little too long.
