who is blogging for?

How do?

Interesting that i start my first post with a greeting, suggests i intend this to be read by those who aren't me. It suggests that i think whatever it is will be recorded in/on this tiny patch of cyber-space is worth reading; that i have something to say of such interest and magnitude, that i need some sort of platform. Or is it just a place where i can record some of my less dark musings? If that's the case, why use such a public space; why not just keep a diary with a tiny 'my little pony' padlock, like the good old days? (i never had a diary with a tiny 'my little pony' padlock - maybe that's what i'm making up for here). Is this whole blogging thing a tiny part of our societies current obsession with celebrity? - read me, love me!

Actually I was struck by something yesterday as I was reflecting on catching parts of 'You're the one that I want' and 'Any dream will do'. One of the things the Bible says is that God has put eternity on people's hearts; essentially that there is part of us, as created by God, which is concerned with somehow finding a place for ourselves in eternity. It occurred to me that this whole celebrity obsession thing comes from a huge desire to make oneself known and remembered as widely as possible. If that isn't testament to having eternity on our hearts, what is? The other thing which struck me, which i haven't been sickened by in quite the same way with previous shows of this nature, is their ability to bring out, highlight and then exploit, for entertainment purposes, some of this countries psychologically damaged/ disturbed people. Brilliant! Let's put that on telly, cos we all need a little light entertainment on a Saturday night.

Anyway, read my blog cos i need to be affirmed and remembered. I'm reckoning on blogging about once a week on stuff of slightly more substance than that of what i had for tea or where i'm going at the weekend. I might blog again before this weeks out cos this is just a taster, a bit of a practise.
