Why do I make Stars?




Why do I make Stars?




A blog on why I should write blogs.

Caravan, who do you think you are?

 What's the point?
(what's the point of anything?-nothing matters)
When you boil it down there is no point to anything!
I suppose my answer to this is simply "DO IT AND DIG IT"
Along the lines of
If all paths lead nowhere - choose a path with a heart.
Maybe for me it's a kind of work process, maybe a kind of therapy.

It's a good chance to stop "that" life from slipping away.
You don't have to spend all your time in the present, the past can colour it.

"you don't have to spend all your time in the present, the past can colour it."
It's amazing how" sod bustin can focus the mind on not sod bustin ".
I suppose it's kind of anti Buddhist in a Buddhist kind of way. Along the lines of - -
Don't get hung up about being or doing in the present moment which in itself is a distraction.
I fear total immersion in the present could be too much of an escape from the past and all it holds, not just the good bits. Embracing it could be informative in terms of how you deal with situations emergent.
You are what you are and your past as well_ constant rebirth is difficult.
Although I do believe I am a pretty on the spot kind of guy.

For instance, I have just built a garden for my son. It is nearly finished and I realise that I haven't logged it from its own very messy beginnings, I didn't take the before and after snaps. A year down the line and I may find it difficult to believe just how bad it was!

How I superficially run my blogs :
Posterity / Legacy & the smaller angle.
A catalogue of events.

I suppose I do it for myself, but it's nice to share it with others.
Of course you write / compose / paint it initially for yourself - but even thinking selfishly, it does clarify it to express it in readable terms for others, and brings out other un~thought of aspects.
"it's easy to please your self, but harder to please others "- from a foundation lecturer.
Hardly cemented philosophy, but there again aren't there always five sides to every coin?

Putting stuff into a blog sandwich can detach you and in a sense give you :
Hindsight,
Lateral vision,
The eyes of a friend. (because you are portraying it for someone else)

Dealing with long stays in India and Turkey, I have used blogs to mix words, drawings and photos to put together a rounded anecdotal summary of my times there. Following the problems involved, what with correlating the mass of information, making it chronological and readable. I'd love to take an opportunity to work with a short project putting it together in a complete format. Catalogue it to the best of my present ability. Especially involving the restrictions of a blog. Thinking along the lines of Sgt Peppers in that four track discipline, whereas if there had been more technology available, maybe it could have become a little over mashed!

Keep the diary, but this makes it a journal /scrapbook /sketchpad.
Why do I make stars?

How immortal are blogs? when will they fade away?
