First of all let's start with another cliche...a little bit of existentialism. What's the point of blogging anyway? I mean, we all need to reassure our importance once in a while...to our selves at least. The internet gradually took away our last illusions of uniqueness; it made us realize how small, trivial, ephemeral we are. It's almost like looking at the stars on a clear summer night. Or like walking alone in the streets of a vast, unfamiliar city.

So now we are trying to fight back; we are reclaiming our own space and identities through blogging; we are trying to make our voices heard; we are reaching out for some kind of communication within this mass of endless information. Something like a message in a bottle.

Does it work? Well, i guess it depends on how lucky you are. Maybe also on the bottle you choose- its all about marketing these days. But you don't have much choice when stranded on a deserted island, right??

Ok enough of this nonsense for now. I'm only experimenting. This anonymity is almost..exciting. You can be whoever you want. Which can be a problem if you have no idea who you want to be. Or how. Or why. But we'll talk about that another time..
