to blog or not to blog

Ah to blog or not to blog. See I've lost you already. Launching a blog at the end of 2011 is like shutting the virtual gate on thousands of cyber horses. It's been done. And done well. But I'm not a Johnny Come lately for every (INSERT FAMOUS BLOGGER NAME HERE) there are thousands of people just like me. Who have tried and failed to blog continuously never mind successfully. I've launched so many blogs now I've lost count. I start each one in the same way a child starts a new notebook at school; best handwriting and immaculate spelling but by the fourth page in (or in this case blog) I begin to get sloppy. Don't blame me; blame TV, my parents, the education system or Tony Blair.

I had a fashion blog, a lifestyle blog and even a blog when I promised to live by the rules Baz Lurhman told me to in Sunscreen. All in an attempt to be appear somewhat relatable. All of them a mere footnote (if that) in Cyber history. Now I've decided to start again. My notebook is on a new page and I once again posses childish optimism. I won't make any mistakes.

See, I've already learnt from them. To blog is one thing. But to blog well, you have to put your heart on your sleeve. Unable to relate to what humans call emotion for many years I've never wrote a blog...well. So here I am. (I was going to say warts and all but didn't want to conjure any strange images on my first blog. in the interest of wearing my heart on my sleeve. I've left it in). Guys don't do it. They don't talk about their feelings. I'm not a manly man either no. Sinnita isn't singing any songs about me. See what I mean. Instead we bottle all that up. All that nonsense. Feelings. Emotions. Leave that aat. But now my heart firmly stitched onto my sleeve I plan on writing about stuff that matters. Cuz that's the point right?

So here I am and after a series of poor metaphors. I'll end with another; this is the first page of a brand new book. I must try harder.
