I've been looking at my posts on this blog, and reading other blogs that interest me, and I've come to a couple of conclusions.
The first is that I have a mediocre mind and no focus (that's two things, but it only helps to prove my point). I was raised without much contact with anything of an intellectual nature and was left to myself to be interested in 'safe' things. I didn't have anyone to even talk about anything of consequence. All this has made me pretty much of a nothing, but one who has tried, his whole life, to make people think he was something, simply in an attempt to be accepted. It has worked for better or worse most of my life.
The second thing is that this blog really sucks, to put it bluntly. Despite the fact that I really have no one reading this, who really would need a bunch of links to news articles that anyone can find on their own, accompanied with inane and useless comments? I have nothing to add to what I blog other than my own uninformed opinion. What good is that to anyone? The blogs I read are done by intelligent, articulate people who really have something to say.
This blog is an example of everything that is vapid and useless in the world of blogging. A prime example of all the worst that blogging can be and how full of useless drivel the internet can be.

I would beg to differ on that on your conclusions. 1) I don't think you have a mediocre mind. If you did, I would not be here reading that post. As for focus, who and what defines that? Dammit, man, you read books, all kinds of books. Mediocre minds can't make it past the Sunday funnies, and gutter humour, neither of which describes you.
As to your respective blogs, I have read three of them. I was quite upset when your first one disappeared (not to mention a bit worried) I have enjoyed them all because I view them as interesting compendiums of news, opinions and cartoons. (not to mention fodder for my own commentaries). I may not always agree with your opinion, but I am interested none the less. I haven't been around much in the last few months because I have been digging myself out of my own funk of the last while.
My Dear James, you are your own worst critic here, be a little gentler on yourself. Lighten up!
Thanks so much, Morganor. Your comments mean a lot to me. More than you know. I've missed you the past while.
I've just been going through a bad patch with my health and my propensity to fall into various degrees of depression when my health worsens significantly, but I think things are on the upswing.
The wonderful thing is that, in some way, each person who touches us in a good way becomes another point of love for us on the planet. Thanks for being one for me...
