WHAT'S THE GO HERE?

ABOUT

Hello you.

Yes, you, reader! You indeed.

Did you really think I didn’t see that inquisitive look of yours as you clicked on this blog? The narrowing of your eyes. The furrowing of your brow. The pursing of your lips, as you (and rightfully) asked yourself the question “So… what’s this all about, Cam? If that’s even your real name… What’s the point of this blog?“

Well firstly, reader, yes. Cam is indeed my real name. I’m a 20-something year-old Australian, currently living in Banff, Alberta.  And secondly… Put some pants on. Please. It’s hard to take your questions seriously with those ridiculous spotted underpants staring back at me.

And thirdly, (and finally, you’ll be glad to know), I will answer that searching question you first posed yourself… what is the point of this blog?

To answer that, let us look at the Merriam Webster definition of a Tidbit:


TIdbit
‘a small and particularly interesting item of gossip or information.’

Mmmm. Yum. Now doesn’t that just sound delectable? A snack to be sure.

In our modern world we are constantly bombarded with both information and misinformation alike. Both shiny, polished turds and unpolished, turdy, yet serendipidous treasure troves of gold. Videos of Mr Rogers and The ‘Island boys’, only a mere swipe of the finger away from each other. How can our poor brains be expected to keep up with this persistent deluge of dross content that seems to rain down on us like a perpetual shitstorm whether we like it or not? No easy thing.

Am I offering the cure to this, with this blog? Oh god no. We can leave that to a greater mind than mine!

But what I do offer you, is a small (and perhaps poorly-made) refuge, from this deluge. A place where I have aimed to write purely based off where my curiosity leads, and perhaps you will enjoy these places as well! Ideally, you will find here tasty snacks and nibbles for the curious mind to graze on. Or spit out, revolted! ‘”What rubbish this Cam writes!” you squeal at me. Either way I’m glad you’re here. 
 
So that is the ‘point’ of this blog.
 

However, if you feel the answer should be more towards the fact it is indeed ‘pointless’. Then there are no qualms between us dear reader, and I feel you may be even closer to the mark than I.

And that’s all part of the fun!

So please, make yourself at home, slip on a dinner bib and feast on these ‘tidbits’.
