Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
To be fair, it was the smuggling of imported cheese without paying the required duty that the Canadian authorities were trying to stop. It just masde for an amusing post, that's all.
Gosh, I was just thinking about this very thing. When I reread some old stuff, I don't remember being the author and think I was a better writer in my past. I do have a folder with a lot of old "crap" in it for rewriting, because here are days I just don't want to think of new stuff.
If we haven't read them before, then they're new to us so no harm, no foul. But you're right to worry about using that resource too often. Gotta keep using the brain to keep it active. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. But it's okay if it takes a day off now and then.
I laugh at how many times I get a review, and to find out I'd forgotten that I've written it. Nothing wrong with dusting off oldies, and giving it a new polish. Hope to see some of your "new" oldies.
I think the doctor sits in his office, drinking coffee and watching the next patient on his list. As soon as the doctor sees the patient is absorbed in reading, he sends the nurse out.
I’ve been thinking a lot over the last few weeks. Which explains why there have been so few blog updates lately. Although you might think that all that thinking would result in all sorts of blogworthy things to say, the truth is that most of them aren’t worth saying until a conclusion is reached. So I hold fire on that until I can see the whites of your eyes.
In the meantime, here’s a little thought I had several years ago. You might remember the ad.
Sometimes people say things I don't think they mean. Just watched an advert for a well known brand of beer by the most interesting man in the world. At the end of the ad he lifts a beer bottle so we can see the label and advises us to "stay thirsty, my friends." I'm sorry, but to me this means I should bear the thirst because this beer is really horrible.
