Starting out

November 23, 2006

That I start talking about being humble just goes to show that I’m not above immodesty. If I know myself well enough, I’d win top prize in humility; and I’d start blogging like crazy. But unlike a sage or a saint, I have a tad more to go before achieving total self knowledge. I’ve always thought of blogging as self indulgent, telling and showing the world how one feels about this or that whether the world is listening or not. Who cares? But that’s what artists(from writers to musicians to painters) do in the traditional mode of going through a screening process to ensure the public at least a product of some fair quality. However, the internet is all about democracy-good, bad, pious or porno, anything is qualified as long as it can be up or downloaded. Even artists can jump in without feeling soiled or devalued; especially if we kind of know ourselves. And why not? So here I go, getting on the highway or fl-E-market with some healthful degree of humility, and hoping someone will benefit from the venture. I’ll start short and slow, with pictures and music to follow in the future, and see what happens.
