Ah the history of Electric Spaghetti.
I clicked on a link and it led me here.
I’m glad I did that as it brought so much more into my life.

Thank you Saaleha

I deleted my blog, tried to create a new one, but it’s just not fun anymore.
I think the anonymous twats out there somewhere must be having a celebratory feast or something…lol

SBM.

dude. i can feel your angst. it's almost like teenager-angst.

dont stop writing. ever. even if everyone else is writing crap, yours is still eloquent and verbiose in exactly the *right* way.

so dont stop, okay?

I go through periodic episodes of jadedness. And then I also feel irritated by everything I read-for no real reason-& I stop commenting & stop blogging.

Before I used to comment on every post of other bloggers-now I only do so for posts I relate to. Yes readers who comment make one's blog 3D but one doesn't have to pander out of guilt to every blogger.

ppo-poo pontificate-love it!

You are a blogging rockstar!!
With your clever twist on words & mindblowing sentence structure, I could only hope to be that good at writing someday.
(I rarely comment and I can't believe I just praised your sentence structure)

Isn't it also ironic that initially the problem was not having anyone commenting on your posts – and now it's that some commentators are all inyourface judgy? Try not to focus on those twits, and I'm sure it's true that for every negative comment there are at least 9 intelligent responses.

There was a trend, i jumped o the bandwagon - I am ashamed.

But you're right!

There isn't a lot of substance in most posts these days

By the way, if I could have just 10% of your writing skills, I would be a better writer by far!

Sigh. I shake my head in shame at my awful spelling. I’m almost tempted to delete that post.

Intrigued.
I remember telling you a few days ago how i’v noticed a marked difference in your blog recently.
Thanks for being the inspiration.
Now- if only you’d get rid of the fucking word verification. I feel dyslexic each time i try

You know I believe that theres a fine line between expressing yourself and feeding into the whole frenzy. Like I mentioned to someone earlier…we are all guilty of judging…and to accuse someone of pre-judging is a judgement within itself.

I think people in general (and I’m guilty at times too) become too engrossed and take everything too personally. We should just take it for what it is…its running commentary, its recreational, its fun, its opinionated and all these other things…

But at the core, all it really is is a facet or a thread in the fabric of society. In the greater scheme of things, it means nothing. Everyone will have their own views and opinions regardless…

I say we should think of things that are more poignant…like reflecting on ones own mortality…puts things into perspective (but not in a depressing way)…

It is what it is, so what? Healthy debating is fine…but there are boundaries. People are just too ready to start wars over petty things. Maybe because we’re all genetically programmed to fight for survival (our ancestors went to battle often) and we’re not going to war, so we act retarded and fight with our keyboards.

saaleha I always read your blog with my mouth a bit open (not spaghetti related) but just because you write and express yourself so damn well.
recently as you know, I took a bit of a bloggin break. I was tired, jaded as you put it. And some of it was to do with what I was reading. So many opinions. So many judgments. So many …just so many. And since I find it difficult to express the words in my head onto blog, I couldn’t express what I wanted to say. because I myself,wasn’t sure what I wanted to say and I didn’t want jusdgment, critscom, assumption, all these human things we are prone to do. So I kept my noise out of things. I stepped out. I cleared my head. I took a break. And I feel better for it.
What I want to say is, thankyou for expressing succiently a little of what i have been trying to express.
Jaded comes and goes. But expressing whats inside. Thats forever. Dont be jaded. But take a break to lift your head out and breathe a little. Thats my little advice.
