Back to blogging. I realized that my blog is BORING. I don't swear or actually let's put it this way, I swore once, I don't write about sex - is the excuse I am married good enough(?), I don't mention politics - my knowledge on this one maybe is not so little but my views are not formed yet, I have never voted in my life, as £10.00 for a ticket to London to vote in the Lithuanian embassy seemed too much. I probably never mentioned religion either - I do not have one as such, I also don't kiss and tell as the only person I do kiss is my husband, and well there is nothing to tell. I don't write about my friends because apart from the people on the net I do not have friends so there is no real action going on there. I do not go to movies, buy new games or CD's or watch TV.
I really do feel sorry for my readers right now because all I do is write something about nothing. Thanks to my inner voice I never put my own poetry (or anyone else's in fact) on my blog as I would have feel like an idiot again! (see no 27 on tony pierce's how to blog list)
But sod tony pierce! I am going to 'treat' you to some of my poetry in the VERY near future!
Anyway I am not complaining, oh I just remembered another one I don't do audio posts as I really can't stand my own voice! (neither can my husband..:) )
So really there is nothing going for this blog and I have to change this. I do not express my opinion here. I really don't know anymore what I am doing here as this whole mission was to learn to write well in English and all I achieved is writing a lot about nothing! But then not a lot of people can actually write a lot about nothing... So I must be doing something right!
I mean I am working on a book! I do write. I also have to concentrate on the follow up of my children's book 'Mr Weatherman'. I have to reorganize the whole thing and become a real BLOGGER. I must have some kind of talent in me otherwise I wouldn't have a single reader at least I hope so.
But there is one thing. When I view some of those super popular blogs I look at what they write, they do have that "sex drugs and rock n' roll" exciting bit. But I don't find it either exciting or interesting. I must be a really boring snob, prude and nerd stuck with her books, chanting about beauty of life and complaining about way too many big bills. OK maybe sometimes I stick a pretty photograph of a rose or something, but when I think I live in the middle of nowhere and nothing really happens here... (the average age is 85 and they still work manually in the fields)
Well as I typed the previous sentence I remembered they are celebrating Saint Jean today in Sarrincollin (typical French nearly a whole week late!), which is the next village along the road, average age there 60, and there will be big fire and stuff. But somehow I forgot to look when the celebrations begin. Maybe if I am lucky they will burn one of the old villagers and it would save him going home? This really is like living in gods waiting room.
Wow I have now used religion in my blog!
I will get dressed and go and have a look once the match between France and Brazil is over I don't think they'd light the fire while France are playing would they? They better don't as my husband is really into that Alez les bleus mood... I better get ready as Graham just turned up all excited (the fact that england lost on penalties might be the reason) saying let's go and have a look now...I'm off, there might be something happening down here after all! I am hoping for a barbecued villager... If there is I will be sure to capture it on film to share it with you!

Sod Tony Pierce indeed!
Carra, I have never found you 'boring'! I enjoy your posts and writing style very much : )
I've never found your posts boring either! I think that blogs should truly reflect the owner/writer. If you don't cuss like a sailor, then why should you on your blog? I know that the blog world often allows one to open themselves up more than they typically may, but it shouldn't be contrived in an effort to amuse others.
Maybe I'm alone on this, but I really think that the primary benefit of a personal blog should be to serve the writer. It really opens you up to a world of people, but by being true to who you are in your blog, you will attract people with similar interests and experiences. And even beyond that, people that may be different but enjoy experiencing something beyond their daily lives.
With that said (and not briefly!), I love reading your blog. As boring as you may think your life is, we all love hearing about what your life is like, your frustrations, your passions, and even rants and raves. Cuss like a sailor if it feels right, post your poetry...whatever feels right and good.
I love your new look! :)
I love your blog and you should keep it just as it is...a place for you. I think blogging for me started out the right way meaning I wrote about things that were important to me. I sometimes didn't even post for a week at a time. Then, it sorta took over and I found that I was posting daily and reading several blogs. Now, I am back to reading only the one's I like and posting when I have something to say. I feel better about blogging and I think that is how it is supose to be. I blog to express myself so that I can grow or to just talk...because, yes, I am one of those crazy people that talk to themselves (although with four kids it is hard to do it now). So, blogging keeps me looking sane by "talking" it all out on my blog. Don't worry about what you are blogging...just blog for yourself. I will come and read whatever you write. I have laughed and smiled more times than you can imagine at your beautiful and honest posts. Thank you for sharing yourself here. I am happy I have gotten to see into your window. :)
