Confession Time
Okay, I admit it. I don't know what I am doing. This is not
something that will come as a surprise to some of the people that know
me, as it seems to be a perspective shared by many on me. But in
the sense of blogging, I confess I don't know what I am doing. I
had this problem the last time I started a blog some five or so years
ago. Surfing around other blogs with their extremes of expression
guided by the Muses Polemic and Minutae, I struggle to find a niche and
wonder what it is that I offer and can say. Nothing new there,
either, but perhaps it's important to really have an idea of what your
blog is about? Perhaps?
It's not that I don't have things to say on various topics and don't
think I can't be even a little bit entertaining at times. It's
just that the vast morasses and masses of the blogging community just
about have it all covered, veneered and varnished. My rational
side counters with "Ah yes, but they are not you and your prespectives
are unique because they are yours", to which my cynical, self-critical
side retorts, "Yes, and you think that makes it worthwhile?".
But then I realised that probably someone else out there in BlogVille,
BlogLand has undoubtedly had the same conversation above, posted about
it on their blog, and now I am no longer worried or burdened by it
because let's face it, it's not worth it. [what a waste of two
paras]. .
On a lighter nots, a comedic situation in Wilkinson's today.
Vic and I both needed to buy glue (me for my aforementioned lost sole -
Joy Division anyone? - he for a broken somethingorother) which resulted
in a conversation about how it looked quite bad that we were both
buying super glue at the same time and that it might raise some
eyebrows. My punchline? Well, of course it had to be..."But
Vic, surely they know that friends stick together".
Anyway, more later perhaps after a quick sojourn to the pub...
