I have come to accept a truth about myself.
I need to have an audience before I am moved to blog.
Okay, let me rephrase that.
I need to believe I have an audience before I am moved to blog.
Even an audience of 2.5 (the .5 being my dog)
My super secret blog idea (see blog entry below - dated April 4, 2005, 3:46PM) was a miserable failure with an impressive grand total of two blog entries in one year.
My creativity overfloweth.
The truth is, I like to make people laugh.
Blogging doesn’t bring me much satisfaction unless there is the possibility, however slight, of someone out there, getting a chuckle out of it. Or at least deriving some sort of enjoyment while reading. Although, truth be known, forced reading as a form of punishment would bring me equal satisfaction.
There is also one glaringly obvious flaw in having a super secret blog that no one reads. Famous people never e-mail super secret bloggers.
And they did before the secret blog.
They did!
William Shatner for one was on the verge of e-mailing until he heard I went underground.
(side note – Hello Mr. Shatner, I’m back again, feel free to e-mail)
You might have noticed that my blog is hideously out of date and broken.
Well you might also be wrong.
It’s called ‘Retro’ and it has ‘Character’.
It is my intention to update all the pages, the design and even possibly, the forontes (forum plural). And this time, unlike my previous intentions, it is my intention to follow through on my intentions.
Blogging Experiment #1
Tomorrow I have a dentist appointment. I am one of those cowardly people with extreme dentaphobia (hey, I was born in England). I have actually been known to become violent in the chair.
Gosh!
Partly for my own nerves and partly for the dentist's safety, I have to take rohypnol (yes the date rape drug)during my appointment. Wheeee!
It's great fun and I say a lot of stupid things that I never remember sooo you guessed it! I am going to blog tomorrow while I am on drugs.
If I can remember.
So stay tuned for tomorrows load of gibberish.
Later.
