There is certainly something about having my thoughts extend beyond my own skin that I find exhilarating. I know very well that most of what I write is seen by nobody, and that's perfectly fine with me. I mean, who is going to be the least bit interested in reading a blog entry about blogging?
I'm quite an ordinary person by most measures, and I've certainly done nothing of note thus far in my life. If I had something interesting to write about, I'm sure I would be doing just that and not rambling on about the joys of thumb-typing pedestrian blog entries.
I've been on a walk for nearly an hour now, and this is the time when I do the most thinking. It's only natural that I should feel it necessary to chronicle my brain's sometimes schizophrenic synapses.
In the early 1980s, Morrissey would walk all over Manchester immersed in thought. When he got home he would write 'furiously', as he put it. Obviously he didn't have the option to write and walk simultaneously, because the notion of scribbling about with a pencil and a pad of paper mid-step is perfectly absurd.
Generally, I've forgotten most of my thoughts by the time I return home - something I've always considered wasteful. I'm not of the opinion that my thoughts carry any import whatever, I simply enjoy being able to see what passed through my brain at any given time.
And with that, I was gone...
I wish I could write furiously. it doesnt seem to come easily.
ReplyDeleteVery good write up man. I can relate to a lot of what you're saying. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteyeah, sometimes it feel therapeutic, but sometimes i just dont have much to say.
ReplyDeleteThe therapy was the reason i started blogging. Being unemployed sucks and is stressful. puts my anxiety through the roof. nice article, really.
ReplyDeleteglad to be a new follower!
Yup, I know exactly what you're talking about. It's like a therapy session, just with more feedback potential, and free lol.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered a tape recorder to record your thoughts?
I agree about therapeutic, I also love that I can help promote my favorite underground bands
ReplyDeleteSweet blog man! :) following and supporting, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI find writing in general to be therapeutic, and blogging in particular has a strange sort of satisfaction that other kinds of writing doesn't hold.
ReplyDeleteThe more you do it, the better you become! (talking about writing..)
ReplyDeleteblogging is just the same as having a diary or your own database of information. that's the appeal for me, at least.
