Ah, back to the blogosphere. I have been very reticent about blogging lately -- plus I tend to keep my Yes, I am the Master of my Own Domain -- blog just for poems and creative writing. These days I have been busy with work and family concerns but not really pursuing my original career goals. It is funny how they flip back and forth between entirely different fields of interest. They say the average person these days has at least 6 different careers and I certainly believe that to be true. It is interesting how social media sites seem to overlap with the concept of blogging and yet they do not provide me with the same creative outlet, being so over-designed, specific and creatively limiting (FB in particular). They seem to strive to put the most mundane and uninteresting information about your life at the forefront and leave everything important as some kind of afterthought. I try to put quotes from other more intelligent beings on my FB page as my random daily thoughts, particularly first thing in the AM or last thing at night are often not articulate, meaningful or worth sharing. Such as "What's on your mind?" First thing in the AM my real thoughts often include such intellectual gems such as : "F***ing morning, can't believe I have to get out of bed this early ... I hate the world and want to stay under the covers forever. OR Dammit there's no milk for my coffee. OR hmmm should I have a shower or not ... how smelly/ and or lazy am I." And alternatively my late night thoughts tend to meander wildly in all directions. "I wonder what the world would be like if people had Hobbit feet, OR I'd like to try living in a peat hut and sewing my own clothes. OR Man am I tired I have to get up in like 10 hrs.OR What do blind people conceive colour to be and if you weren't always blind would your memory of colour remain accurate or would colours become conceptual and symbolic?" So, unless my friends really want to know what I am thinking -- and I mean honestly -- who wants to know what we're really thinking at any given time -- I try to keep it general or of a higher calibre than the examples I have just stated. Blogging for me is a real train-of thought pursuit where I can truly write whatever I want for the express purpose of knowing that only people who are actually interested in what I have to say will bother to read it and I also have a slight proviso to be "anonymous-ish"
