Randy and I was talking yesterday whilst having pints at the local pub; No, we don’t spend all our time at the pub drinking pints upon pints!!! It just seem like we do – But we don’t. We do have other stuff that we attend to……

Anyway, we were talking about blog sites, in comparison to our own respective blog sites. (btw, his lordship never understood why the need to blog or the concept of blogging, “Why not just go get yourself a diary if it’s your own personal ramblings” said his lordship… Ignorant peasant!!!! LOL) Randy was suggesting that perhaps his blog lacks a certain direction – One minute haiku writing, next minute YouTubing, and the next getting all political and bothered etc etc.

I do admire blogs that carries a single “voice”… a political statement, or direction. A single theme that the blogger is passionate about – be it the arts, photography, sexual orientation… whatever. But do I find these sites interesting enough to regularly follow them, and not get bored after a little while??

It made me examine my own blog …….

When I started blogging, I wanted a blog just like everyone’s…. Clever writings, thought provoking essays, photography, video, music …. Even to the design of my blog – I wanted it to be like one of those wonderful, thought provoking blogs that has a purpose……..

But it wasn’t me!! I’m not clever, nor am I passionately politically inclined. I’m definitely not religious. I’m not overtly cynical. I’m not giggly-bubbly happy, nor am I a miserable bastard (except of course, when it comes to August every year… but that’s an entire blog site on it’s own!!). I don’t have a particular style. I’m not here to shout & rant about the breeding patterns of South American Budgerigars.

Then one day, I found this Sandbox template (which is the template design that I’m currently using, with a little tweak here and there) that says “Do blogs have to look like blogs?”. The design shouted out “Wardi!!! That’s so you!!!” …. Text, fonts, typeface, words just spilled all over the page – It says exactly what my blog is – MY RAMBLINGS!!! Of no particular reason, directions or purpose.

So… Why don’t I just go out and get myself a diary (as pointed out by his lordship)?? Because then I will no longer have a need for my MacBook Pro or the G5, my iPhone 3G, internet broadband at lightning speed…..
