Life!...it's phases of excitement...,exhileration..., happiness and then -... the more mundane... intolerance..., impatience... and unfortunately just plain ignorance!

Taking stock and moving on

I have been mulling over how to begin this blog for over three months now - trying to find a theme for the content - my rather bad habit of procrastinating endlessly got in the way... Anyway I have decided to take the plunge - I still don't have many definate ideas yet - but I'll let things flow and we shall see.

I suppose my main concern - being a rather quiet...contemplative type of person - is how much of my life I should reveal. Having visited other blog diaries - I expect this will be one too- I have marvelled at how much some, are so detailed on the minuate of the daily lives of the authors - makes me wonder if the journal is either part of a life coaching technique or just a plain cry for help! - and yet other blogs so secretive that you are hard pressed to even guess the gender of the blogger. I hope to get the balance right - I think some mystery is appealing and then some illumination does help put your views in perspective.

Judging from that last paragraph I think I'm just your hopefully normal voyeur,looking to get my 15 minutes in the sun - or is it soapbox? - without having to experience anything too earth/life shattering - or as Oprah would suggest pinpoint my 'Aha moment'that changed my life forever...!

Thanks for the welcome. I grew up listening to bands like EWF, Cameo, the Commodores, The Isely brothers et al and I suppose you could say my url is a nod to those days but don't read too much into it Viki, I am new to this form of communication and was just playing around with names to get me started - you'll notice my posts are signed 'quiet moments' I will get a bit more 'real' once i figure out what I want to blog about mainly. I may blog about EWF and other bands from the late '70s-early '80s - now there's an idea! Thanks.

i blogged about EWF a few months ago. Anyway, you should blog about 70s bands. Though I am young I am a big fan of the oldies. Blog about EWF first...pretty please. LOL
