This blog, why?
Somehow, either by some arbitrary search - or maybe even recommendation - you’ve stumbled upon this blog and the tiny little pocket of the internet it occupies. Well done! now what?
well, that’s an interesting question. because unless you're me, only about 5% of the catalogue of my seemingly very chaotic posts are going to be relevant to you. that is, unless you also happen to take interest in the same things as me, in which case, hmu.
I can almost guarantee that there will be no order at all, to anything I write. It could be a film review one day and discussing empiricism the next. who knows...?
Well I sorta know - but that’s beside the point.
The message I'm trying to relay here is this: this is an unstructured, weird, mess of a blog. There is no doubt in my mind about that. But it's also the most accurate painting of my thoughts that I can give. That sounds kind of weird, so let me explain.
Say that I did film Fridays, where I talk in length about a film. What if I didn't want to watch a film on Friday, and would rather do calisthenics? By boxing myself into a narrative like that it's no longer my blog, it's a blog sure, but is it really still mine if it’s not, well, from me? And therein lies the problem with structure.
If somehow you haven't clicked off yet, thanks! I'll write as long as the ideas are worth writing (2 times a week?) covering anything from current news to film and music to philosophy.
Oh, and to answer the question in the title, why not? If someone reads this blog and has any reaction at all, be it positive or negative, it will have had more of an impact than if the ideas stayed dormant in head. In my honest opinion, everyone should have a blog. Most people -whether they care to admit it or not- show the world a representation of who they are, not the whole. Through the medium of blogging, you can show everything. Unrestricted.
I like that.
