Oy, apparently it's inappropriate for your blog to act as a kind of community newsletter for your social circle...
Sheesh
Anyway, no health updates, well not in detail this evening... Apart from the fact that the contact lens in my right eye is becoming very annoying, my eyes hurt and i keep wanting to rub / scratch them... For information on why this might be you'll have to scroll down the page...
Now, I was thinking, about blogging... And I must just recommend the front page of Irish blogs from this evening at about 10.40pm - there is a fine and entirely random snapshot of ireland's blogging community....
But, is there any point? I mean really... I certainly enjoy it and I know some people now get serious levels of traffic - but what is the point?
Is it like my own community newsletter? If so, what does my one, unknown reader in texas make of it? Is it my window on the world, a chance to make and break global opinion, one rant at a time? That reminds me of the story about how long time takes - you know the one about how if a bird landed on Ayers Rock once a year and sharpened its beak - it would take shit loads of time before the rock wore away and thats only a fraction of the time you could be on hold to Eircom, talking to that stupid voice recognition computer who gets all lippy if you don't speak clearly... or whatever the point of the story was...
How in God's name am I supposed to catch up on all the good and bad blogs being written right now? How can I ever find them in amongst the Knitting Blog, the Sewing Blog, the underwater turnip blog, the high end computer tech tulip blog etc...
In the meantime, it's hard to see the screen so I have to go find the eye drops again...
Sheesh

Dear Liam,
3 things.
1. Please rename the link to our (who are we kidding, let's call it MY blog), what has been updated weekly for a while now.
2. Why are we 3rd in your list of links?
3. I don't really have a 3rd point but good things come in threes don't they, and don't we all want to be good at the end of it all? When the day of reckoning comes and St Peter says he reckons we were all a shower of bastards, don't we want to be that one little smug fucker who squeezes through the pearly gates and on to an endless boulevard of topless revues where buying one drink and staying all night is not discouraged by management?... Don't we?
