Where next?

So, where shall I go next with this blog?

More arty stuff, with clay and paint and cameras, perhaps?

Politics?

I guess I find myself drawn, still, to whatever it was that "happened" on GU. (GU, by the way, readers, is the Guardian Unlimited talk board, an online talkboard that's become a shouting match and insult house, apart from being occasionally quite entertaining and witty.

I guess I really have spent far too long there, and need to, as they say, "get out more".

Perhaps that's where I'll go from here.

Problem with a blog, though, is that by its very nature it's solipsistic. I mean, it's about being introspective, isn't it?

I do feel some sympathy for some of the people on GU who seem so stuck, though. BUt what do you do? I realise that a lot of the time, people will try to draw you into their reality, and I know that's best avoided. Perhaps that's the real purpose of being diplomatic and "sensitive" in the way some people describe. But I do know that's only part of it.

It's interesting, too, that certain posters described me as "unable to love", like it was a crime, and not a terrible personal tragedy. Odd, that. I mean, how can someone make a personal comment about another, when they know so little of their life?

Interesting, too, that someone should pick up on my mentioning speaking to someone's spirit. As if it's not possible! Everyone's spirit is accessible to all of us. All you have to do is speak.

So, where next?

That, we shall find out.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. It's an interesting day, I know. Much will happen this evening and over the weekend, for myself and many of the people who had exchanges on GUT today.

This much I predict.

It will be an interesting, very emotional, and very powerful weekend for everyone.

Mark my words on this.
