Isn’t This Odd?
I think it’s funny and strange to be putting my thoughts out there for the world to see. But that’s what blogging is, isn’t it. That’s what has taken the internet by storm. The ability that the common, everyday person has to be heard. There was a time when the average man or woman didn’t have a voice or an outlet for themselves. Now, we can all speak freely about whatever it is that suits us. And we can then plaster that message online for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or more people to see it. Stars of our own one person show.
I want to be the star of mine.
I don’t mean that in an egotistical way at all. Maybe the word “star” is a little extreme for me. A lot extreme, actually. I don’t like the idea of the limelight. And I don’t imagine that I will have a large following or anything so very interesting to say that it will change anything at all.
I just want to play too.
I think we all live in a time when wonderful things are happening. New opportunities are open to us all, and I want to take mine. I want to write a blog about nothing, just because I can. One man’s viewpoint on the world around him. I have the ability to share that because of the time in which I live. Whoever finds it interesting enough to stop by and have a read is welcome. I can only promise to be myself on these pages. The beauty of it is that, that is all I have to be.
I encourage everyone to take the time to write a bit themselves. The freedom to speak openly is not something that everyone enjoys, even today. I am lucky enough to live in a country where I do have this right. And also lucky enough to live in a time when I can speak openly and be heard. I find that to be the amazing part. Being heard.
That’s why I really started this. I want to take part in this too. I feel that it’s almost an obligation to make use of the gifts of country and timing that fate has offered through no doing of my own.
So, here is my blog about nothing. Enjoy it or not. I hope it’s the former but have no control over that. This simply is my voice.
