Welcome

Good Morning/ Afternoon/ Evening

Welcome to The Ocean of Violence, my first blog

My name is Chris Kinloch III, a 20 year-old Student currently studying History at The University of Derby, and here is my first shot at blogging. Be kind.

The reasons for deciding to blog is purely down to lack of a better explanation; why not? Life is about experiencing as much as one possibly can, and recently I’ve fallen love with the idea of blogging, in the typical middle-class hipsterish way in which I half-assume people would like to take interest in my posts. Idealistic I know.

I have no prior resume or precedent for blogging, so this is entirely new to me. An advantage of blogging is I can take my time, ease stress and best of all I can type my ideas and thoughts on subjects, free of word limits, referencing or the paranoia associated with these.

As for what I intend to cover in this blog……

Expect to see posts on the following topics and hobbies that I have passion invested in:

MUSIC

Not into music as much as I was in my glory days of youth, however I always keep up with what is going on in the cut-throat world of music. Tour news, album news etc I will likely blog about. 

BOOKS

I enjoy reading books when i can. Well books not relating to my course! Novels and the like. I intend to start reviewing the books I am reading in my spare time and giving the odd update of how I'm getting on with them.

GAMES

I play the odd PS3 game here and there, not much of a "gamer" but I do enjoy GTA and the Batman Arkham series. Both of which have new titles out next month and the following, so expect a review of them in the future!

TELEVISION

Again not something I watch an awful lot of, however I do enjoy AMC's Walking Dead, Breaking Bad and Hell on Wheels. I also enjoy Comic related TV shows like Beware The Batman and Animated Comedy such as South Park.

COMICS

My main hobby and where a lot of spare money goes into. My love of comics mainly revolves around Batman related comics titles such as DC Comics’ “Batman” and “Batman Incorporated” and Image Comics’ “The Walking Dead”, of which I am also a huge fan of the AMC produced Television series.

FILMS

I enjoy attending the cinema when I can as well as watching films, I may end up blogging on a few films I have recently viewed.

ORIGINALITY OF THE CONTENT

All of the following posts are original pieces, written, edited and uploaded by myself- Chris Kinloch III, unless stated otherwise. I ask you not to reproduce the content of this blog without first seeking and being granted permission from myself…….otherwise I will back-trace it and report you to the Cyber Police!

WHAT NOT TO EXPECT

The following is what not to expect to be covered in this blog of mine:

ACADEMIA

I won’t be blogging any updates on current on-going essays or pieces of coursework I am currently undertaking during my University study in accordance to self-plagiarism policies strictly enforced, so please don’t expect any.

REGULAR UPDATES

Unfortunately due to my schedule of University study and other commitments I will not be able to blog and update every 24 hours etc. I will try my very best to update at least once every week, even if it is just a quick short paragraph review of a comic I bought and read that week. At least it will be something. Should there be a serious on-going matter for me to attend to, then I will make a post explaining why I am currently busy and not able to blog.

That Ladies and Gentleman is the very basic sets of information out of the way.

The first few posts will be made and then we will take it from there.

Also by all means feel free to read, comment and give feedback on this blog. Again I’m new to this, so be fair. Leave whatever comments, constructive or positive.  If you want any questions about my posts answered, hit me up on my Twitter account- @chrisjkinloch93. Thank you.
