How to think sideways…

Reasons

Well I was advised to tell people a bit more about me, the problem is I find it really hard to talk about myself so instead I’m going to tell you why i stared to a blog and hopefully it will give a bit of an insight in to me.

There are 4 main reasons that blogging appealed to me the first is the fact that I am dyslexic which means that writing has never come easy to me, now you may think that would be a reason not to do a blog but I see it as a chance to confront that problem head-on, besides the use of word processors has almost completely removed my man problem of hand spelling.

Reason 2 is that I’m shy, a fact that has had good and bad effects on my life. On one hand it has made it hard for me to make friends on the other it has meant that the friends I do have are vary close and as dear to me as any family member. It is also a contributing factor in my love of acting, as when I’m on stage people look at me but see someone else. The blog has that same shielded feel it me doing the writing but I’m protected by the computer.

Reason 3 is much simpler, I just like to have somewhere I can put down all the silly little things that rattle around my head that I don’t need but can’t bring myself to throw away.

Then there is the forth reason, the biggest reason the, one I have in conmen with every other blogger, in the words of my new friend vixen ‘every one would like to believe the world finds them interesting’ it is the driving force behind all blogs and for every comment you get its like some one is saying ‘yes we do’

However these reasons weren’t all I needed, I also had to have a cartelist to get me going, and it came in the form of my mate Dom who gave me the same advise he has given me in many aspects of my life ‘Just shut up and get on with it’
