£39.22 overdrawn.

My first blog entry.

I'd like to remain anonymous while writing this blog. I will be revealing parts of my character and telling truths that I have not spoken of to anyone else before. I've lead a full life and wish to share my memories to the faceless people on the internet before my mind grows older and I begin to forget things.

For each entry I hope to include a past experience or fact about my life, along with a recent event, perhaps even wishes or goals for the future. I am going to be completely honest, describing my mind as best as I can. If there is an aim for the Blog, then I hope it to be a balancing point or equilibrium between my past and future.

So we start.

It's 06:37 AM. I've just been to check the balance of my bank account and I'm £39.22 overdrawn. This might seem insignificant and perhaps a common occurence, but, two years ago I had over £200,000 in that very same bank account. I've wasted it all. I have some things to show for it, but on the whole it's been spent on holidays, nights out, drinking and gambling.

Ten years ago, almost to the day, I started a business that became very succesful. Several people were employed and it turned over millions. I have been a real success, but it's now all in the past. Today feels like the end of that very long era and the start of times to come. 

I have no job. I owe money to the tax man, I can't pay the mortgage and I know soon the creditors will start knocking on the door.
