To Blog or Not to Blog.. that is the question...

I wonder how Shakespeare feels about the whole thing; about how everyone uses every other line written by him and hijack it and paraphrase [ to use the term most loosely] into whatever context they want. Or worse, write some shitty line and attribute the inspiration or the line itself to him. 

But that his problem. And my problem is that I have not yet started and yet I've digressed from where I wanted to go.

It's been a long time coming. It's been a long drawn out [internal] debate on whether or not I should be imposing yet another blog with yet another random thought on the wide,wild web. It was a stale mate for the longest time between arguments which run along socialistic views [ No.. dont you dare put up coz you know you are gonna succumb like everyone else and write whiny posts about inane stuff like rain ruining your shoes, which no one wants to hear!!] and narcissistic ones [ Hey, I can write better posts than thaaattt! And I promise not to write about rains and shoes.. and heart of hearts, dont you really want to just see how popular it might just get? *]

Finally, like an epiphany, it hit me. What's the worst that could happen? So, it will be just another blog with [godforbid] whiny posts about things that no one other than shallow, self centered people care about. Ok.. It sounded damn casual in my head, but written down it sounds BaaaD! Do I really want people to know just how shallow or self centered I am? :-| Ultimately, truth is, it matters very little. So people will finally close off that nagging doubt that Phil is lazy or [ insert your favorite 'Phil' trait which is equally unfortunate and annoying but bearable]** But they'll love me all the better for have known a little bit more about me. [ or maybe they wont, but I've been reasonably lucky that way..So not too worried!]

Well, the long drawn out point was, I finally got down to it. Hope if not actually engaging it will least be endearing. ie if laziness of my muse doesn't hamper me too severely.

So take care and [hopefully]see you soon enough**

Phil![and the lazy muse!]
