Untangling my thoughts – kick starting this blog.

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Aaarrgglle. That’s what goes through my head every time I think about my blog.

Actually, that’s not quite true, but I’ve been finding it tough getting some momentum behind it, even though I’ve been feeling for a long time that it’s really important for me to develop my written voice. I’ve been really frustrated at my inability to get it together.

Many times during any particular day I can generate quite clear and focused thoughts; hey if I was able to write those directly into my blog – mind recorder stylee, wow! That would be great. Ideal!

But here, at the computer, I have far too many thoughts all competing at the same time. Arrrrrgglle. How do I get them all down, or even get just one clear thought down? I find it so difficult. It’s taken me the best part of an hour (ok, two hours now!) just to get to here. At this rate I’m not going to get anything out.

Right. So here’s the deal. I’m going to use this blog to tease out the various threads of conversations that I have been having with myself for years, that I’m kinda afraid to put out there in public. I want to get good at it, and not have to take hours and hours agonising over every sentence. I want to get it all out, so that it isn’t just bouncing around in my head consuming me on a day to day basis. Maybe no one will read it, or maybe everyone will and I’ll be the laughing stock. You know, that’s life. Not everyone is going to agree with everything I say, and not everything I say is going to make any sense… but I think that enough of it will, that this is worth doing.

So, please, I would be very grateful of any support, advise, critisism that you can offer me. And, bear with me when I start waxing lyric on topics that seem crazy. They are! I have crazy thoughts…. crazy enough to maybe actually change the world, one day. Who knows? What I do know is that they never will unless they get out of my head and into the world where they can make a difference.

So here it is.

Can you believe it? I’ve been on the web since ’94 with my simple web sites composed of just a home page. Periodically I update them, to add a new link or such like, but really they are pretty poor. There is personality to them, and I am not well represented.

Well, time for a change. This is now my official home page. I will be collecting my thoughts together, and posting them here for anyone who is interested. Primarily however I am doing this for myself for I want to get some of these ideas out of my head, and out in the world.
