Good-bye, Ruby Tuesday

I did actually think about a couple of topics for today’s blog - but seeing how I didn’t make note of either, other than to vaguely think about them, they are gone - one seemed particularly useful - but then, who’s to say, without anything to go on other than a vague recollection that, once, there was an idea. 

 I think we’re back to square one: What is this to be about? Will it be random musings? Must there be a thread? Is there an audience I am trying to target? 

 Above all, is there a commonality inherent in each entry that connects one to another and begins to stitch together the idea of a person behind the writing - or is it all just scrapings of quill on paper, ink flowing from the pen of a spirit intangible and incapable of being fully captured by text? 

 How much of who we are is ever really revealed when we set down on paper what we consider our innermost thoughts? Surely, even these pass through the filter of our subjective view of ourselves and how we wish to be perceived. 

 Or should the focus be outward; commentary made on current events - ‘newsworthy items’ gleefully pressed like grapes, through that same filter in order to extract a blend of flavours unique to the presenter? I’ve always been much better with the microcosm than its opposite - though I’ve also found myself aligned with stars a million miles away - in any case - I know I don’t want to join the ranks of political bloggers, or bloggers with an agenda, or bloggers who tout their culinary skills, or any of a number of other topics into which I could be quite easily absorbed. 

 I have interests; they make up my life; whether I choose to make them the point of this blog is an entirely different question. 

 Does that make this a journal? Perhaps it does. I’m beginning to thing there’s nothing wrong with that. 

 I’d rather put down my thoughts as they tumble out of my head than spout opinions on topics I am not well versed in or care one wit about - what’s the point? 

 This has been clarifying. 

 Thank you. 

 The Rose-Coloured Glasses have been removed. 

 It’s Tuesday - and I see nothing red, or ruby-like about it.
