What should I write?

 I'm of two minds at the minute.

I do try to produce a blog post roughly once every other day, for two reasons - one, so that those people who read my blog get something new to read fairly regularly, but secondly so that I keep practising my writing, which is the main aim of me doing my blog in the first place.  I've neglected my writing for many years and my blog is the way that I keep my hand in.

But I am beginning to understand the importance of producing not just content, but quality content.  I don't want to just produce stuff for the sake of producing it, I want it to be interesting or funny or thought-provoking or just have some sort of value.

I also don't know whether I should spend more time consuming or producing (and I'm not talking about food for once!) - one school of thought is that while you're 'consuming', i.e. reading, watching, listening to stuff, you're not producing and I shouldn't be procrastinating in that manner.  On the other hand, logically the only way to produce material is to consume material so that the mind has stuff to work on - right?

But that might just be me trying to justify working my way through The Big Bang Theory - I've been watching a minimum of six episodes a night since last week, very much enjoying it :)

Anyway - apologies for the contemplative post.  Fingers crossed I'll have something new for Thursday!

A few thoughts...

A few thoughts for today...


Why is the word "long" shorter than the word "short"?

------

Quick-minded and slow-minded individuals have an equal ability to put their foots in it. But only the quick-minded can sometimes get themselves out of it.

------

Occasionally carry out an act of random kindness. No one knows what is going on and the chaos that results is much more fun than an ordinary act of evil.

------

One of the most satisfying acts in life is to repair that which does not work. But shooting a computer in perfect order is entertaining too.

------

Life is full of obstacles. If you wish you can overcome them. But it's a lot easier to avoid them.

------

Technology can do anything. Except what you want it to.

------

Don't ever worry about making fun of someones' accent. Somewhere else in the world someone is making fun of yours.

------

Never miss a chance for chaos, even in death. Demand at your funeral all mourners do a conga clutching a small bag full of mushy peas.

------

Never insult your hairdresser unless you want a pyramid-shaped head.

------

Never try to use tools or equipment when drunk, even for food purposes. You will burn your house down and have to go to the takeaway anyhow.

------

Every button a piece of technology has reduces the chance of it working by 50%.

------

Life is short enough. Why spend it choosing curtains?

------

Never waste the hours 9-11 on a Saturday morning. Use them to choose a good pub for the next twelve hours.

------

Computer problems do not need a physical source. They arise from energies that we do not understand.

------

Petrol is flammable. Paper is inflammable. Yet they both burn. Discuss.

------

Never talk to an Australian about spiders. They will win.

------

Shooting fish in a barrel is harder than it sounds.

------

Discretion may be the better part of valour, but only if you can outrun your enemy.

------

Ask a resident of Lincolnshire about their home, they will say Lincolnshire is flat. So where did all the hills in the middle come from?

------

Take pride in the fact that whoever you meet, wherever in the world you are, you will own some music that they hate.

------

Dust settles on things. People wipe the dust into a duster, then shake the duster. After that the dust settles on things. Therefore never dust and things will never get dusty.

------

You may own a scruffy mongrel hound or a pedigree poodle. Both will pee on you.

------

When going to the betting shop, consider: How many betting shop owners drive a Robin Reliant?

------

When a medium declares that they "feel the presence of spirits" the bear in mind the possibility that the spirits are vodka-based.
