Do you consider yourself interesting?

I only ask, because I think that everyone is interesting. I think one of the reasons we watch (or watched, in my case) Big Brother is because we’re interested in how other people act, and what other people do. We like comparing them to ourselves, and thinking how we’re like or dislike like them; how we’re better or worse than them in certain aspects. I posed the question a while ago on twitter, whether people thought they would win Big Brother if they were on it, and lots of people did. They assumed, as I do, that they would be better at it. Or more interesting, or more fun or whatever it is.

It’s been playing on my mind recently, because (clearly) I have a blog, and you’re reading it, but, in truth, since I stopped training for the marathon, it doesn’t really have a purpose or direction. I update it every so often with random thoughts and ramblings but they could be (and usually are) about absolutely anything. Now, I don’t read anyone else’s blog, even though there’s millions of them out there, so why could/would/should I expect anyone to read this? Woah Woah Woah, before you go dashing off, I think you should read it, I just can’t quite put my finger on why.

I see a few problems with what I might call ‘personal’ blogs. If you’re just talking about yourself and your life, then don’t you really need to give us all the juicy stuff? The behind the scences fights, the family fallouts, the career plans, the next big ideas and all of that? But can any of us really afford to spill all the intimates of our personal and professional lives on the internet, and why would we want to?

I’m interested in radio, clearly, I work in the medium. I have a huge interest in it, and have lots to say on the topic. I think lots of it is great, I think lots of it is shit. But who am I to judge, and why would you want to ready my thoughts on it?

I’m curious as to what would make you most likely to visit this website. What should I focus on? Any one particular area, or just keep posting on whatever I like and leave it to the world to stumble across posts they might like? In truth, I find it a bit therapeutic (though perhaps overly self-indulgent) to just write down whatever comes into my head, but then I could just keep a private diary and have the same effect….
