I'm just this guy...

A lot of people seem to get annoyed when I say to people "I'm just this guy" and although a few people know why I say I thought I'd try and explain why I say this.

I've always been a big fan of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by the amazing and sadly missed Douglas Adams, and own the books, radio series, TV series, comics and movie (I own it as it is part of my collection, but the movie is not that good..) and back in the 90s it was listening to the radio series that kinda kept me going when I thought I was losing it...and I got the nickname Zaphod after signing a Christmas card to a friend "Phil"!  (The odd thing about the Christmas card it that no matter how much these people mention this card I do not actually remember writing this card ever!!)

OK, kinda time to explain a little more...Zaphod is one of the main characters of the Hitchhiker's series, he is a disgraced former intergalactic President (who when visited Earth used the pseudonym Phil) who steals a spaceship and goes on the run.  Zaphod says he is the greatest guy in the entire Universe and beyond and is so full of himself it is unreal (something that is not me!!  I'd be totally devastated if anyone considered me full of myself in any way, it's not the person I see myself as) and every so often when there is a news report about Zaphod in the series they tend to ask his personal brain-care specialist Gag Halfront and he always finishes by saying "well...Zaphod's just this guy y'know?"

Just this guy...that's me.  I'm nobody special, and once run away from everything just to be a mere face in the crowd.  I'm not trying to put myself when I say this...but I am just a guy who does this and that, no one in particular and really don't like it when people try and make me out to be something special (I know that people are just trying to be nice, but when people say about me on Twitter that I'm this great great it makes me shudder somewhat...I just don't see what they are going on about.) because I'm not the kind of guy who wants to be in the spotlight in that respect.

So yeah...I'm just this guy.
