As a first-time blogger, I (like so many others before me) have started off with possibly one of the most cliched lines of all time. I think the reason so many people quote Shakespeare (or a modified version of it) is to sound smart and well-read.
I'm going to be honest- I actually have read Shakespeare but only because I was forced to in English class all through high school!
I personally think William Shakespeare was a very depressed person, who immersed himself in plays where the main protagonist almost always dies, to escape from his sad life. How's that for controversy?
I don't know- maybe I just don't get it because all his books are written in Old English and require too much translation for me to bother deciphering.
As for this blog; it's simply a way for me to rant and rave and reflect about nothing and everything...in other words-completely random!
So for my first blog post, I'll talk about this quote I found:-
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure-which is: Try to please everybody.
Herbert Bayard Swope
Herbert Swope was a US journalist and this quote reflects my thoughts about this blog perfectly (and about life really!)
I'm just writing about things that happen in my week and things I find fascinating or interesting.
I don't mean to offend people or challenge their view but basically, I'm not writing to try and please others. It's just a way for me to relax.
You either like it or you don't but please comment either way. It would be great if I actually got any views on this :-)
Well, that's all for today. Blog you later (lame I know but wouldn't it be awesome if people actually starting using it as a catchphrase? You never know, might start a trend ;)
