Look who's here!

You've heard his name being mentioned here, you've heard about him, well, a bit. Now, he's here as my guest blogger. People, this is... Eugene (aka knight in this blog, and elsewhere)!

Who's feeling suitably pressurised already even before the seat below me is hardly warm... Thanks for the introduction Jancy, it feels like I'm about to address the nation - or that could just be the egotistic devil in me making me think the nation's about to read this blog 'o mine. Speaking of which, im totally into this blogging mania, yes i am! So much so that i have already had two blogs, both of which ive made a grand total of three entries (number staggering you already?) and both of which ive already lost. HOW on Earth does one lose a blog? I have the dubious honor of having done that. Twice. My most sincere apologies to people out there who blog religiously.

Ive always thought that blogging is one of the biggest irony in cyberspace. Its supposed to be the most personal of things isn't it? How personal can something get when there's a few billion potential peeping toms? And it defies my sense of logic (yes, I DO have one) when i hear my colleagues telling me they find out about their students' "secrets" throught their blogs which are cryptically named, well, after their own names.... (cryptology - another thing we need to add into the syllabus)

It always makes me thoughtful (for the brief 5 seconds im capable of sensible thought) that we lock things up in a cyber-closet, away from people but knowing deep down that people may find out, but maybe we do want them to find out. Maybe we don't want to tell people things directly, we leave it to them to find out indirectly, because they can then decide whether to deal with it or not. If they want to, they will. If they don't, then they pretend not to have come across it.

Reading someone's blog always leads me into a psychoanalytic frenzy trip, and i keep feeling like i've got to do something, or comment or something. This is probably.. erm... why i, erm... hardly read my friend's blogs? haha...

But im not about to assume that all these things are astro-skeletons in a cyberspace-closet of course. It's a nice, cosy place for that little voice inside us that comments, questions, formulates opinions that no one necessarily wants to hear about (like now), bitches, insults, dreams for us, etc, etc.

So im going home tonight (eh... maybe tomorrow night or the next) to get meself another blog address. And this time i will try not to lose it within a week.

Have a blogging NEw YEar...
