They do say bad taste is better than no taste.....


I know I said I would publish daily, but I'm working on two slightly longer pieces so I think a "filler" post for today is fair game, right? Enjoying these rhetorical questions for my imaginary readers! This is more of an online journo-chronicle than anything else though! Whilst I write these I am also enjoying "guilty pleasure" songs - a little Ricky Martin and Shakira is definitely sneaking into my YouTube viewing. I know its a total cheese fest but I can't help but feel so happy now that Mr. Martinez is out and can live a life that makes him content. Plus he has adorable twin sons. I honestly had no idea I was so invested in his personal happiness until about 12 seconds ago, a development as worrying as it is trivial. Also, Swedish reggae that annoys everyone apart from me and the dreaded girl&guitar combo. And some Beyonce, though I refuse to feel guilty about that - woman is a fierce machine, despite slightly misguided "Girl Power!" messages. I would say enjoy - but it really is highly unlikely that you will!

Just words and good intentions

Today is the 1st of March,  and I have given myself three goals for the month - simple ones, easy to stick to -  an attempt to create a little bit of order to temper the emotional turmoil I seem to constantly find myself. One of them is to post here, on this poor little neglected, unread blog once a day, for the next 31 days. Unfortunately the emphasis isn't going to be on great, well produced content - its more of an exercise to get me to do something consistently, and demonstrate to myself that I can be consequent and disciplined in my actions. Hopefully this is something that will find its way into other areas of my life too! I want to get productive, as I am slowly beginning to realize that I am someone who feels best when doing - as much as I appreciate buddhist philosophies encouraging us to "just be", I realize that I feel most comfortable in motion. I wonder what healthy things that that says about me! Hopefully this will challenge me and end up being a nice melange of things that inspire, interest and make me think at the moment, and (perhaps ironically) cause tome  engage more in my life. And engage more in the life I'm living now, where I have popcorn for dinner, get drunk and miss tutorials and often aren't as good as I hope to be, but still hope and work towards creating a fulfilling and giving life with the people I love!
