[X] Mark (view Henry's profile)
Name: Mark Akaky

Current Residence: NYC
Job: Professional Blogger
A little bit about me: One year ago I was sitting in a posh office in downtown London, about to start my life in the business world. And then catastrophe struck: I downloaded an MP3 onto my computer at work. Harmless, don't you think? Two days later I found myself fired, fined, and jailed. Collateral damage of the digital age.
So here I am, living to New York City with my childhood friend Henry, making a go of it in the blogosphere. Enjoy the posts, and feel free to drop me a line!

A little bit about me: Hello, Internet! It's me, Henry Scott. You've probably heard of me. If not, here's a primer. I've been a stand-up comedian in London for the past few years, before I realized my true calling: blogging. I didn't like the comedy world much anyway. Too many agents. I hate agents. In November 2005 me and my best buddy Mark packed up for New York City, and here we are, proud parents of BathTubYoga. What else? I like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng, and women love me.

As I sit down to begin this first entry, I find myself confronted with a number of questions, not only those present in this dual epitaph, but also ones that carry profound consequences for my own life. Most essentially: Why, suddenly, do I feel the burning impulse to pour out the minutae of my life into this dialog box? Most concisely: Why blog?
My first response to this query, for whatever reason, is to call myself a god damn sally in my dad's voice.
My second is that the mind accumulates a tremendous amount of commentary that it simply needs to purge. The backlog of our creativity is immense because of the amount of times that we are forced to reject our own thoughts due to immediate circumstances. For example, say you are in a large group of people, and you notice that one woman you are with has what the rapper T.I. has called a "booty do"; in other words, her stomach sticks out more than her "booty do." Now, what you really want to do at that moment, for your own piece of mind, is yell out, "Look everyone, grandma's got a fucking 'booty do'" and then explain the concept to your little cousins when they ask. So what happens when that urge is stifled by your better judgement? Where does that little piece of comic gold go to, exactly?
I know I'm asking too many questions, Dad, please don't get abusive. My main point is that we need blogs, or rather I need a blog, because there is a large segment on the spectrum of ideas that is under-represented in the world. Thoughts too compelling to be hidden in a journal but too inane to be published legitimately, thoughts too brilliant to waste on friends but too antisemetic to be shared with a group.
On that note, let me introduce myself. My name is Henry Scott and I live in the City of Angels: New York, New York. I'm originaly from England, which is about six hours from here in a direction called "fuck that." I grew up for most of my childhood in Southhampton but later on my family moved to London. Gosh, what else...what else...: I'm a big Arsenal supporter, I love tits, and I'll kick your ass in volleyball any day.
I'm really looking forward to this relationship, dear reader. I have a feeling it's going to be quite a lot of fun.
