Time ...

There's never enough time. To blog, to write, to sing, to play guitar, to answer emails, to reply to texts, to just sit.

Stop.

Live.

And once again it's way too sparse a blog. I'm feeling inspired though. I need to rant, and not just in song writing. I have a place right here. Sometimes on Facebook and Twitter I don't get involved too much in opining one way or the other. Yes I'll moan and grump along with the best of them, but not actually get involved with anything political or too controversial. That's because words CAN be misconstrued and they tend to hang around on t'internet.

So expect more. Much more.

R-ant music

Sometimes I just want to rant and rave, sometimes I want to just be creative and spout poetry and sometimes I just want to share mundane stuff. Surely that is what a blog is for? And yet I will refrain from putting finger to keyboard in case I say the wrong thing, or if the 'theme' of my blog is compromised.

But that's just it isn't it? There isn't a theme. A blog is what you want it to be. I suppose in a way it's therapy. Ok, quite public therapy, but then in a way, there is alos something very anonymous about the internet, so it feels quite comforting, like hiding under a blanket.

I have registered a lot of domain names in my time, always intending to do something with them. I will do someday - all of them are outlets for some idea I had. Some are funny, in fact, most are funny, but some are genuine 'nice' things.

I am feeling very down today. That's one thing I can't go into - I really do feel as if there are SOME things I CAN'T talk about, or best not.

However, I think this year is going to be one of those years of change. Something has to, that's for sure. Not sure what I am still searching for, but I will let you know when I find it!

Twit-ter Whoo!

Everyone, it seems has gone bonkers for Twitter now. First it was MySpace, then Facebook and now Twitter. Thankfully I can hold my head up high and know I signed up ages ago. I came across Twitter at the same time as Facebook and liked the idea of it only being like Status Updates. A quick and easy way of just keeping in touch with anyone who cared to listen.

But lately, everyone has been jumping on the bandwagon and having their Twit-turn. That's great, because the more the merrier. I too have now joined the followers of @stephenfry, @rustyrockets, @wossy, @iainlee, @schofe - all prolific celeb twitters and all making me laugh with their one line wonders.

But it seems to me that one trend seems to be emerging with certain followers. You see a one line tweet and click to see what the thread was, only to find that the follower is obsessed with replying to celebs and trying to entice them into replying back.

Of course, yes, following someone as hilarious as @wossy or @stephenfry, you want to join in the fun, want to say your piece and it WOULD make your day if they commented back.

But reading through some people's Twitter pages, this seems to be their only reason for living. Constant, endless replies to people ... and it becomes obvious that they are the celebrity Twitcher; watching celebritities and trying to say something clever or inane enough to illicit a response.

Sad, really.

And yet, for the people who scoff at Twitter and can't see its point (and yet are still obsessed with updating their Facebook status daily) - the story of the skiers in Verbier who got lost and separated from each other whilst out on the slopes, where one of them has been saved by a combination of i-phone, Twitter and Google maps, well, somehow it makes the addiction all worth while. I just hope the other lost skier is found.

And so, I am now off to tweet this blog, as all good Twitterers should do!!
