Ahh, here i am again. Hmm, wonder if anyone has read any of my blog yet? No matter. I shall keep writing for my own amusement.

I've just made executive the decision to post a photo that I've taken in the past 24hrs, everyday. Actually maybe not every day, but at least every time I post. See how I go.

Now you may be wondering what the title of this blog is about. Well, it is a long and arguous tale that goes all the way back to when I was a lad not much older than you. It was around this time that Hitler was coming to power, and just before Emperor Nero burnt down Rome. Now if you know these times, then you'll understand that school was quite important. So there i was dilligently working away at an English essay when i suddenly found myself stuck for a word to describe words of exraordinary length. Not wanting to waste my time consulting the dictionary or a thesaurus (or whatever you consult in these times of wordly need) i just made up a word 'Sesquitextual'--meaning a word and a half. Since then many such words have been constructed such as redundifies, perpendicularises, spontain, ferverity, but none to rival 'Sesquitextual'. And so it was that 'Sesquitextual' came to respesent all of these (for want of a better word) nonsense words. So in summary, the title 'The Quest for the Sesquitextual' is really the quest for interesting, almost meaningful nonsense. In summary of the summary, this site is simply here to be a place for me to bloggerise (definition: plublish on blog) my random thoughts, i an attempt to amuse you and myself.

Now, since i just resolved to post a picture everyday, I'd better go take one...........

If you're interested, this is a picture of keys on a piano, just before they go inside the piano body. I thought I'd post this one simply because you often see pictures of the other ends of the keys of a piano, so i thought I'd do something different.

And before I leave: Steve's Tip of The Day:
'Never go to Iceland at the summer solstice--it temorarily ceases to exist'
Lets start at the beginning.

Why did I create this blog?

Well, I was stuck for somehting to do one evening when I suddenly thought: "why not start a blog, I mean the worst that can happen is that it'll be terrible, no one will read it, and in a vain attempt to change this, I'll get addicted to Blogger, and die an early death from typo-disflunktoyd-sesquitextual-itis (a terrible disease that causes the sufferer to type extremly long, made up words, until they die)". So with that in mind I went and did something else. This lasted for around 7 and a half minutes when I suddenly thought "Why not start a blog, I mean the worst that can happen is that it'll be fantastic, everyone will read it, and i'll die and early death from repetio-trideathillium syndrome (a terrible disease where the sufferer is forced to write exceedingly similar sentences over and over again...until they die)".

And so it was with the full knowledge of my looming early death from hithterto unsuspected diseases that I created this blog. It's purpose being to explore the craziness of my mind, so that i may look back in future years and reminisc about what an idiot i was (and my poor spelling).

Since this is my first post, I think a self portrait is in order. This particular one is a favourite because I have managed to obscure most of my face in the name or art.


But before I go, I shall leave you with Steve's Tip of The Day:
