Driving around on the streets of Worcester every day, though, presented me with a more focused content for my meandering, otherwise unfocused writing habit... a habit that, if there is a muse for it, I've been fighting against her all my life but losing the battle every single day. The way it works is if I don't put it down in print, then I can't sleep, I feel increasingly frustrated, and this goddam muse will just continue to impinge such chaotic turmoil onto my thoughts that, if I don't simply give up and write it all out, I'll end up biting someone's head off.
I wouldn't wish this kind of torture on my worst enemy.
Heh.
The more time I spend on this, though, the less I think I might like it. This blog has taken on a life of its own, and the muse has gone giggling off into the corner while things like "hit counters" and "coverage" keep intruding on my thoughts.But I should've taken a hint when I'd only been doing this blog for a week, and I got BlogLogged in Womag. I first got BlogLogged on 5-31-07, then again on 7-19-07, and 7-26-07, and 8-23-07, and 9-6-07, and most recently on 9-20-07. In amongst all those I also got PhotoBlogged on 7-23-07, and Columnized on 8-23-07.
It's all got me wondering what I could possibly be saying that's got my hits counter doing what it's doing...
I saw that and I went, "Huh?"I am truly humbled by this.
So, I spent a lot of time over the past few days watching who's coming here to read my blog.
I'd like to welcome all the new readers, and let you know that the basic "agenda" I've got here is to see the local online community in the Worcester area become more visible and active. To that end, I may take shots from time to time in order to stir the pot, play devil's advocate, or spin something to provoke thought.
Your job is to set me straight if I get out of line.
I am, after all, just a taxi driver.
