I am a Husband, Father and Grandfather. Now that I am retired, those three things are all I need to be.
I dont take the Blogosphere seriously. It may or may not be cutting edge Technology which will revolutionise Political Discourse. I prefer to think of it as having the same meaningful impact as……the hula hoop.
Besides there is no need for me to take Blogging seriously. There are plenty of other Bloggers who are filled with self-importance.
You mention “others” full of self importance? Starting with yourself I can only assume!
Well Harry……..youre only half right (and I am being generous).
The Keeping An Eye on the Czar of Russia is actually a reference to the egotism of the editor of the Skibbereen Eagle, who warned the Czar that he was keeping an eye on him.
Bloggers…….and I include my good self….. are the modern day equivilant.
We are totally without influence and like to think that tapping away with two fingers on a keyboard bestows some kinda gravitas.
I am NOT the Huffington Post.
That is not of course the case with my so called rivals in the rarified “hub” of Norn Iron Internet blogging.
I at least have the sense to know that its all nonsense.
Hi Fitz,
could you kindly drop me a line at the email address received?
Thanx
You forgot to add that you are a SDLP member and supporter.
When I wrote it, I wasnt a member….I think this has been made clear on several subsequent posts.
thanks fitzjameshorse
