yeah....Things will only get better

This blog has been stagnant for the past few months. With no inputs, no arguements, no sharing , nothing whatsoever.

In fact a couple of bloggers have decided to close down their blogs or have already done so. Does it mean that this is the demise of the blogsphere?

While I'm in no position to comment about that , I'm certain that blogs have a certain function in helping the blogger communicate with his readers, whoever they may be. A blog is never private, unless you choose to keep it so. Then again, if that's your intention, why bother to publish your thoughts and views online?

Blogging can be an excellent mean of communication. However, just like any type of communication, it takes two hands to clap. If the communicator, in this instance, the blogger, decides to keep quiet, i.e. not posting for long periods of time or keeps repeating the same old story without the receipient fully comprehending the message or intended meaning, things get out of hand.

Prolonged period of non communication can bring about the demise of a relationship. In fact, it is often THE very reason. Usually, it's not exactly a matter of having a flair for writing, or writing some paper for some journal. Your readers just want to know what's going on with your life. There's no need to be grammatically correct all the time, the occasional spelling error( just blame it on typo la), using Singlish or whatever language, as long as it connects the reader to your thoughts, I believe that is sufficient?

I mean of course, this is not a politcal blog or some blog that focuses on certain specific issues. This is my blog. An avenue for me to express my thoughts , not an avenue for me to produce essays of A1 standard. It doesn't have to be politcally correct always. Of course, no slanders or seditious remarks. Just straightforward views of yours truly.

Too much thinking, too many worries (and of course with a slight douse of laziness) will bring about a blog that has been stagnant for ages. A stangnant blog is like a stagnant relationship. You readers may just get over you (and your views that have been so fasinating at the initial stage).

Hence, get over all those worries that are uncalled for... speak your mind. Let's prevent the demise of communication. When there's a will, there'a way. It may require a lot of effort but it can be done.

Cheers!
