The infamous first post

So here I am, writing the first entry to my newly created blog.
Why on earth am I doing this actually, is it because a part of me wants to believe people will care about what I have to say, is it because I like rambling about random things or is it just because I have nothing better to do?
Guess only time will tell but for now welcome to the first post!

My blogger name comes from two things, "Tiberio" and "LLBD", put together you get my blogger name.
Tiberio is an online name I've used since I started using the internet back in 2000 (hard to believe it's almost 10 years old, let alone knowing how young I was back then!), it came from a game I used to play called Tiberian Sun, and I guess it just sounded cool to me back then.
I've found myself sticking with it since then, probably because it's easier to remember one online persona than several and that people will recognize me when I post on other sites.
The "LLBD" stands for Live, Love, Burn, Die, which in turn stems from a Atreyu song called 'Lipgloss & Black'.
I used to be quite Emo ([insert irony here] before it sold out, I don't conform, ahem...) and I listened to this song religiously for a while when my first real relationship ended.
I then added it to the online name, funny side note, I have the four words tattooed in a circle on my shoulder to remind myself that life goes on, so much for growing up as a distant goth/emo guy.
So, about myself, I'm 23 years old, hence the title of the blog, my friend Jenny and I were shocked a few nights ago when we heard the term "20-somethings" and realised that it's us!
Another thing that frightens me is when I meet a teenager and realise that they were born in the 90's, I just cannot get my head around the fact that they weren't born in the best decade (the 80's, stop trying to do math, I fail at maths as well).
At the moment I have purple streaks in my hair, I decided I wanted to do something crazy for my birthday and this was the best I could come up with (I admit it, I am very settled I'm afraid), at the moment it does look more pink, oh well.
I am also the proud owner of a new pair of glasses (click the link http://www.spex4less.com/acatalog/EA9410-LARGE.jpg), they are black and they look awesome!
I've always worn thin glasses and these look very different, something that fits into my new image I think.
See, my New Years resolution is to be the person I want to be, we all change over the years and I just wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror anymore.
I currently live in Glasgow, it's a great city and I can't see myself living anywhere else at the moment, although the weather is never on my side it seems.
I study History and Archaeology at Glasgow University, I like the subjects but I don't really see myself pursuing a career in either, my opinion is known to change quite a lot and I think I would feel different in a few years and end up hating my job.
One thing that stays constant in my life though is my love of 80's music, I can't get enough of it, I tend to listen to very little Radio as I just don't enjoy a lot of the music out right now, instead I find myself listening to Internet Radio, a lot of quality stuff online!
But I like a lot of music, I used to think that it was only Rock that had any sort of value but as I've grown I have come to realise that one shouldn't restrict oneself too much cause there is a lot of very good music out there.
I will leave this as the opening post before I run out of things to say and ruin the ideas for the next blog.
Please leave comments/criticisms.
