[meta] June 2, 2004 at 12:16:00 AM CEST Writing a blog is one of the loneliest exercises in the world. Or can be. That's why most blogs die too soon. Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining. I get some feedback. Not a lot but enough to make me continue my ramblings. Writing a blog is a labour of love asking for a reaction of the people reading it. When there is none whatsoever the blog will disappear one day. Either totally or it will be transformed into a secret private journal. Which can be nice but which is not what I intend. Been there etc. Maybe I am wrong in generalising this way. There are blogs where you can't comment. But I ask myself for what they are for. It's not only that they are not using the inherent capabilities of the internet. It is that they don't give the reader a choice. They say Friss oder stirb (eat or die). They ask for unconditional love. Which I don't. I love people contradict me. I love more controversial feedback. I love discussions. And learning from others. I am not very sure of myself.

Maybe you need a bit of marketing :-) By the way, I am not too convinced about Sufjan Stevens. I'll give it a second try, but I doubt it will make it to my car. It could be a tad too soporific in the long run, which is not good on the motorway. ... link

@sloth67 shmarketing isn't my strong field and i am glad for that. sometimes. maybe i should only write about music to be listened to in the car. sufjan stevens isn't perfect for that i agree. but you could listen to him in a cabriolet standing on ocean beach and watching the stars above at night with a cute girl next to you. btw did you find my blog by searching for autobahn music, sloth67? i wrote on tangerine dream's zeit listened to at 100 miles an hour recently. but what do you need a rope and tree for on your island? you can always swim so far into the ocean that you can't return anymore. assuming the waves aren't bouncing you back to the island. ... link

Physical effort ... is not my strong point (does the word sloth ring a bell?). If I had to suicide I would not chose something that involves swimming for hours :-) Ciao ... link ... comment |
