Some thoughts on self-preservation

I've struggled a bit with the idea of this blog lately. It sounds abstract as it is; but I cringe at the thought of making it too personal.

There is generally too much personality going around, and not enough food for thought, not enough problem. Right now, I would rather think than feel; right now, I would rather be angered than entertained.

The season might soon change, of course. Maybe the whole idea of someone basically private blogging is ridiculous. However, I have always cherished the vision that I will be able to write interestingly about art and madness, politics and strategy, elections and obscure movies without having to throw my personality at total strangers in the hope that they will like me.

So... I will try to make this a blog about what I fancy, and not about me. If such a feat can be accomplished at all.

  2. Thanks. This blog might yet turn out to be one lucky bastard of an oxymoron :)

  3. I think you're doing just fine. It takes time for your *audience* to find you.

  4. Yep - and for me to find myself, I guess. Thanks for the courage!

  5. I also think you should keep your blog just the way you want - commenting on politics, news, entertainment - you name it! I think your blog is very refreshing and it helps me connect with what's happening in Europe on a more personal level.
