Blog: An Introspective Paper

Introduction:
This blog's almost five months old ... it's beginning to roll over, and can hold its head up when it's on its stomach ... and it's starting to sit - with a bit of help - and in one month, I'll think about starting it on solids!

I forget why it was conceived. But it was born suddenly ... Just like that!

And now it's something I can't stop. Some days I think, "That's it! I've had enough! I'm wasting my time here".

And then I find myself typing some ridiculous spiel, or I'll think of some subject which needs urgent exporation in a highly superficial way ...

It's idiocy, yes. It's not solving the world's dilemmas ... that's what the four Independants are for!! Egad! Stop holding the country to ransom, Independant power-mad people!!

Body:
It gives me great satisfaction. The blog. It's fun to write. I never know what I'm going to cover and, if I'm desperate, I'll reach into my Mid-Century design bag and pull-out a designer or architect and some pretty pictures.

Of course, thank goodness I have children - they're an unpaid source of inspiration. In gratitude, I feed them.

And I've met some wonderful people through the blog.

Really.

Who'd have thought!?

I mean, in reality, is that something that one should tell people? That one has met others via the Internet? That's what socialising is for. And I'm very wary of cyber people ... some people may not be whom they seem ... so I'm conscious of that too.

But, you know, for the moment, I think you're okay!

Conclusion:
It's no juggernaut, this blog. It just goes where it pleases and gathers the odd-Follower along the way.

Here's to the other little blogs, which for one reason or another, have prompted me to select them, and I think you may want to have a gander at them and give them a 'Hey!'.

And if you read a blog, don't forget to Comment ... it'll mean alot to the author ...

Are there blogs you really like that need some promotion or attention? 

We can all swamp them and they'll get the shock of their lives!
