Time Has Told Me

Well, it's been two years since my last (and first) post. So I think we can safely say my foray into the world of blogging has got off to a flying start. My thanks to the seven hundred or so visitors who have stumbled across this blog. I hope you enjoyed what you found, and for those of you who returned at a later date, eagerly anticipating a second post, here it is. Thanks for your patience.

For myself it's difficult to believe that two years have flown by. This merely demonstrates that our perception of the passage of time varies from one person to the next, and is purely subjective. Judging by the speed at which time is passing for me I must be living in dog-time, which means I must be about a hundred and twenty years old by now. And going strong, let me tell you. Why, I'm in my prime here. Failing any mishaps I should live to about three hundred, fathering many many children, hundreds, possibly even thousands.

Of course It might seem to me that I'm living a long time, but the opposite may be true. From someone else's point of view I may actually live a remarkably short, yet glorious, lifespan. It's all relative. So which is true? Nobody knows. How did I get onto this subject? Probably best not to dwell on it, and just get on with the serious business of having fun and enjoying your life.

The World Won't Listen

Having discoverd the excellent blogger.com, I mentioned it's existence to a friend of mine, who wishes to remain anonymous. Being slightly nervous of anything new (he fears change) his initial reaction was one of suspicion. "Eddie" I said, "You should get yourself up there. If anyone has something to say, you have." His only response and indeed final word on the matter was "The world won't listen".

I disagree. You're wrong Eddie. Wrong. If you don't speak you won't be heard. So whether you like it or not some of your more coherent nuggets of wisdom may even find their way into 'Stranger Than Fiction'. And there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it.

As for myself I promise only to be truthful and pass on true stories, commentaries and observations of life. At least from my perspective. And from where I'm standing it doesn't get any more real than that. You may think that some of what you find here is spurious, red herrings, misinformation or simply blatant lies. I don't really give a shit, frankly. Welcome to my world.
