New blog
Having written a blog whilst traveling around South East Asia I've decided to add to the ever growing pile of unremarkable and too often unreadable blogs that are started every day. You see, it is actually quite fun to think of ones-self as a writer. Sure, blogs don't count as any sort of respectable writing, but having a blog is far closer to be a writer than riding bikes. Or fishing. Indeed, writing a blog is only two or three steps away from calling ones-self a writer. All I would need is something real to say, someone to say it to and bam! I would have gone from writing a blog, which we have already established does not secure the title of writer, to being a fully fledged, card carrying member of, well, there is no group, but surely I would be a writer.
One may reasonably ask why, having established that too many blogs are created for a too small a group of readers, I would want to do such a thing. The answer, unsurprisingly, is pure selfishness.
I want a place where I can force myself to sound ideas out and collect my thoughts. I have idealized ideas of how enjoyable it will be to read a book and white my thoughts. Or to post a comment that some fool has made and mount an effective argument refuting its very core propositions. Or perhaps I could write about things that make a me happy, leading to beautiful stories of lovely times. Of course, while such propositions may be good and well my main motivator is of course to post bad photos of objects, like cats' tails or book spines, and call them photography.
Of course the anti-thesis to all I have outlined about is that the impetus for this blog may almost entirely result from a certain thesis that I a certain person is trying to complete. Perhaps I'll even use the blog as a way to nut out exactly what the hell I am actually going to do my thesis on. Now there's some amazing reading! Tune in next time to see me deconstruct governance in Ethiopia. Hold your breath even.
