I love you to the bloggy moon and back !
I am at a place now where I am quite happy , the past 3 weeks for me have been a illness fest and yes I have to go back to deal with the snooze ( nose) . The blogosphere has this year been both very cruel to be and very kind , and the kinds outweighs the cruelty and this is what I most focus on. My blogging has taken me places that I can only dream of and blogging isn't about the freebie ,it is about the exepriance of being with people or taking part in an experience.
I have learnt so much this year and whilst not being twee I have grown as a person , I have learnt to be more guarded and an implosion mid year saw me seeing who my true blogging friends are, I believe there is someone for everyone and whilst I may not be your cup of tea and cake , I will be to someone. Now what is it with me not hating it is a tolerance I suppose , I really don't want my soul or ideals tainted and I want to be able to just go with the blogging ebbs and flows.
I blog on a whim and a prayer.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
I remember back in my youth I could have had a career as a reporter on a YTD sceme . I'd seen 'Press Gang ' I had a full Julia Swalia perm , I remember being shown into the editors office , I wasn't at all nervous.
I thought I had it in the bag until the very last question the one that defines you are 'the' journalist. The question was
"Do you believe in winning and coming first "
And this is where I failed at the journalist hurdle for I answered " That it didn't matter if you win or lost" seems this was the wrong answer to which he preposterousily declared " I believe only in winning"
Strangely I didn't get the job , but so what I'm a journalist in my own right , my grammar may take a holiday but bananas . This is why I love my true friends to the bloggy moon and back.

Winning isn't everything. Truth, honesty and beauty are bigger than winning. Or that's what I tell myself when I see my stats. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteFriends ever since scissors and wine !! Loves you forever !
DeleteI used to LOVE press gang! Was totally in love with the main guy, cant think what his name was.
ReplyDeleteBlogging isn't all about winning, as long as you are happy that is all that counts. #SundayStars
Love your reference to Press Gang. Dexter Fletcher before he went grey :) This is the best way to be. Blog for you and you alone.
ReplyDeleteIt's impossible for everyone to win all the time, so having that as the ultimate goal can only lead to disappointment. Sounds as though you have exactly the right attitude.
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude here, blogging should be exactly how you want it and in your own voice. If anyone says anything else then just ignore them. x
ReplyDeleteI loved Press Gang! I blog for me and try not to listen to anyone else
ReplyDeleteYour blog is your piece of the internet. Do with it what you want :-) I used to love Press Gang! That brings back memories :-) You are right, winning isn't everything.
ReplyDeleteThat editor doesn't sound the best, but in any case you don't want someone to sub edit your copy or tell you what to write. Keep doing your own thing, as you do so well - and with your own strong distinctive voice
ReplyDeleteWinning isn't everything but if we do what we love... we will feel like a winner at all times!
ReplyDeleteyour blog is your corner of the internet and as long as it's not hurting anyone you are free to do what you like, that's why I love blogging I reckon :) x
ReplyDeleteI loved press gang too!! Great that you're your own editor now!!
