To you, who reads this blog. Thank you.
I began this blog as a way to rid my abundance of thoughts in my mind that were the root of my ongoing...issues, as one might say. At times when these thoughts completely consume my mind, it cripples me as a being and render me as a creature that is merely existing. I do not believe that I am entirely dissatisfied about my life, and I do also also scribble about crazy ideas aside from the many things that one would put through a negative thought process.
After previously started a papercraft/art/photography blog (which I still love doing all of the above along with my passion in music), I persuaded myself to publish and concentrate on something daily in an effort to offload the many trivial and unnecessary items that I would think about and dwell on for a while. I do put quiet a bit of effort in my posts...or I'd like to think so. I admit I do not have extremely good drawing skills, and many things from my mind's imagery never quite look the same once the message is passed down to my hand. It mostly ends up being a cute little doodle which appears to be drawn by a young child — but I don't mind, that's my little quirk and I am still a child at heart. I have always doodled when I had time and it is something I enjoy in my own time, and the aim of completing one post a day without spending a large amount of time everyday is quiet realistic and achievable:
I draw whatever that came to mind on the day, that may range from a trivial thought about modernity, me ranting about how crowded the tube network can be, mundanity of adulthood, personal experiences, difficulty in connecting with others, mental illness, work environment, cultural differences, social problems and many many items that intrigue or bother me. I then take a quick snap of the sometimes colourful result of transferring my imagery onto a physical canvas of sorts, upload it here and ramble a little more about it below the picture. I may be able to complete the process in thirty minutes if I had a clear idea what I wanted to draw, my mobile enough battery to take a photo with signal to upload data onto the virtual world, and if I didn't have too much that I wanted to say/type about.
The process isn't suppose to be perfect. I suppose I wanted it to be somewhat rustic. The image of the doodle could be fuzzy sometimes. At other times the writings may not be so legible. It could just be a terrible sketch with many typos that do not at all represent what I was trying to convey. Then again, so is life - our lives are not meant to be perfect unless you interpret them as such. Directions that you may go in might not be very clear, and everything would fly by so quickly. Things that stems from the mind are abstract and this is my shot at making them somewhat tangible. Posts often not arrive at the same time everyday and sometimes I might forget to do it altogether, this also somewhat mirror life in the 21st century - it's rarely constant. After almost 200 posts, I could say that in some ways that my approach in creating my blog entries and capture the imperfection of our world and our minds.
Somehow I thought that my strange but sometimes valid thoughts would generate some discussions, and I would love to see this blog flourish and for its ideas to extend into other people's minds, in your mind -- of which I would love you to share with me, via comments, emails, whatever method that may suit you. I genuinely welcome you to convince me of another viewpoint or let me know why you agree with me on particular opinions.
