So what's all this Blog bidness about?

I know I'm late but first of all I just want to say hey to all. I'm not sure how I got into this writing lark but hey it's been fun. First of all let me let loose on the article that got me here...

The Nod

The OMG Nod
When you nod at someone but it wasn't the person you thought it was. - OH MY GOD. The shame of it!!!!
The Fake Nod
The fake nod is a half-hearted nod just because you nodded - they didn't want to nod in the first place. Ever nodded at someone and received a fake nod back?
The Nod/Wave
This is like a desperate hello. You see someone across the road and buss a nod/wave - this is desperate. Mainly young girls do this nod.
The Forced Nod
If you see someone around your manor everyday, but you don't really know him or her - you don't nod. But if you see them out of your manor or in a rave - you nod. What’s that about?!?
The Ex-Girlfriend/Boyfriend Nod
This is one of the most annoying nods out there; neither party wants to nod, but its compulsory.
The Missed Nod
Have you ever nodded like 3 or 4 times because the person keeps missing the nods? I hate this.
The Pre Nod Eye Contact
I F*CKING HATE THIS. Example: You see someone from your old school walking down the street. You know the nod is coming and you look at each other for about 2 seconds before the nod is administered.
The Nod Blank
You see someone and nod. The person looks in your eyes and BLANKS YOU - This is bad. Very bad. This type of nod can cause fights. If you Nod - peeps better nod back already!!!
The "Are You On Me?” Nod/Smile
This is the worst. You see someone you like on road and buss an ‘are you on me?’ nod/smile, This can go one of two ways:
1.An ‘are you on me nod/smile’ is received back - Very very rare.
2.You get the ‘you’re a crack head’ disgusted look – more common.
Some Unanswered Questions About The Nod:
Why do we nod? Why don't they do it in other countries? Why do we never nod to friends of the family, we always do the "stand on the street" corner and chat thing? (Don’t get me started on that…) Is there a nod alternative?
From now on I'm gonna just say WASSUP, with no nod... I repeat... No nod!

This started out as a simple post on RWDmag.com/forums and then I got an email from the RWD editor Matt Mason talking some madness about he wants to put it in the mag??!?!? He had read some of my post/rants and thought I was quite a funny chap. My first article/column 'The Nod' was printed April 2004. The next thing I know I was writting RWD & Come Again (the 1-2 page light-hearted column) for the UK's biggest urban music magazine... I know tell me about it. My rags to slightly better rags story is basically summed up like this: From no-good bum to journalist scum. I love it.
