So, in an attempt to recognise and acknowledge my own hypocrisy in creating a blog - I must confess that I have long considered blogging to be a supreme act of narcissism. Of course, everything that follows must not be said of blogs created for the sole purpose of communicating with estranged or distantly located family members and friends. These attempts to include and foster continuing relationships (an admirable pursuit) must be excluded from my harsh critique along with hobby related sharing of educational or grassroots organizational information. All else however, has long disturbed my psyche and irritated me to the point of distraction at times.
I will therefore, attempt to fit into one of the three "acceptable" categories of: sharing life's joys with beloved individuals worldwide, posting interesting and enriching educational information which may be of interest to 'right thinking' individuals and, if I'm honest, probably not grassroots affiliation, due to my love of establishmentarianism (though not the Church of England as I'm sure you'll understand).
So with this understanding, I embark on the creation of a pleasant space to share positive, life affirming aspects of my experience which, if I could sit across from you with a nice hot chocolate and curly wurly in hand, I would probably be sharing with you in person. With that in mind, I shall attempt to say nice things, ask honest questions and not complain too much about the state of public affairs, irritating people, places and things or random thoughts which have little meaning or importance. These aspects of my experience, I will naturally continue to have and immortalise in the equally narcissistic (and at times inflammatory) webspace that is Facebook!
