So, this is the beginning? Well, its cosy...

Hi, I'm Jake. Jake who? Exactly my point and my reason behind making this blog.
I am a nobody teenager trying to be a somebody in a society polluted with advertising, money and fraud.

I live in the West Midlands of the so called United Kingdom, in a village on the outskirts of the well renowned brummie overspill called Tamworth, the home of tacky 70's decor, track suit families and burnt out mark one fiestas.

Before you think "oh this kid's another one of those doom and gloom types", let me clarify, I am not. I am a relatively hard working Year 11 student beginning September 2012, that has an intricate root system of back stories and explanations for my existence and how different factors made me what I am today.

So why did I make this blog?
I made this blog to show that even with all of today's technology and whatnot, being a teenager is still hard.
I mean, for example, getting a girlfriend is no easier than it was in the 60's (unless its one of these ridiculously stupid Internet relationships where you never actually meet your 'other half' or get one of these mail order Russian brides).
