I'm stuck already!

It's only been one miserable publihed entry, and I'm stuck already! This trying-to-write-again attempt is a more pathetic one that I imagined it will be. Shame shame! "Off with her head!" do I hear someone say?!

Quite recently, I'd started being very deliberate with my words. I'll actually think twice, and sometimes three times, before I venture to say anything. For those of you who've known me for yonks, that's so not me! I use to just shoot off my mouth even before a single thought has entered my brain for processing. I use to joke about how very new my brain is, because it's been hardly used. I guess that sort of thing is alright if one is young enough to be forgiven. But after a certain point in my life, when I've shot my mouth enough to get myself into loads of trouble, I've started to realise and value the importance of proper speech. Because unthinking and tactless speech can cause irrepairable damage. After one to many times of that happening, I've decided to not talk too much, for now anyway. Sometimes, the safest place for some of our verbal outbursts, is to leave them unsaid, and have them remain in our heads!

Sometimes it's the same thing when it comes to writing. Like the poor chap who got lambasted because some technical glitch caused his private blog entries to be shown to the whole world. (Frankly, I haven't even read his much-mentioned blog entry!)Talk about giving a dog a bad name and hanging it. Ok, he's admitably stupid, to have actually posted such racist remarks on his blog, even a private one. But I still feel sorry for him. I mean, for all I know, it may not even actually be what he really thinks! In this world of reality shows, it may just be his way of trying to entertain and getthing a few laughs out of his friend. I mean, if people are actually entertained by the likes of Temptation Island and the sometimes malicious reality shows where back-biting and betrayal's all part of the fun, why wouldn't they be entertained by some guy spouting smart-alecky racist remarks? It sure is a double-standards world that we live in!

Oh dear, I seemed to have waffled quite a bit in this entry. But bear with me people, it's merely my 2nd entry! It could get better as I progress, or I could just get crappier! Hahaha!!
