I will become a motorcycle journalist.

Lately, I have been neglecting this blog. I was never 'full on' with it but over the past 12 months I seemed have to forgotten about it.

A few days ago, my friends and I started to discuss careers and plans for the future over a few pints down the local pub. It was then that I realised that I really am going nowhere with my life, going in and out of dead-end jobs. I've hit a bit of a brick wall.

I obviously have the ambition of becoming a motorcycle journalist and would thrive at the prospect of working for MCN or one it's sister magazines. About 6 months ago I applied to everywhere I could asking for help or work experience.

I had no replies.

And since then I have sort of given up. I know it was a pathetic atttempt and a bit of a long shot but I at least expected a reply and maybe some advice.

However, as i reached the bottom of my Bank's Bitter I began to consider starting all over again. Fulfilling my dreams and doing the things I want to do - Not working at minimum wage factory jobs scraping a living.

Naturally, doubts creep up on me. And I begin to think of my new plan as a pointless journey, but I shoved these dark thoughts to the back of my mind and reminded myself that this is what I want. I want to travel, to see the launches, write the reviews, and become a recognised member of the biking community.

I will not give up at the first hurdle this time.

I will not forget about what I strive to be.

I will become a motorcycle journalist.
