Yes, yes I know I said Iwould post every week and I actually haven't. I'll make up for my oversight but this brief post is simply to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I haven't called or emailed or written anyone for these holidays but rest assured people, the cards are in the mail.
Just Me.

Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy. If there is one thing that I hate, it is hypocrisy. I have recently had to deal with more than my fair share of hypocrisy. There was a wedding in the family recently and somehow I find that it is ocassions such as these that bring out the worst in people.
The mother of the bride, has in my opinion reached such an pinacle of hypocrisy that, I wonder sometimes if she sees two images of herself reflected in the mirror. Not since Tommy Lee Jones portrayal of Batman's nemesis 'Two-Face' have I ever seen such mind boggling double-dealing. A minute with her and she would have you believing she is the reincarnation of Mother Theresa and the victim of malicious scheming the likes of which Joan of Arc had never faced.
The truth is, I've learnt to keep a civil tongue nowadays. Five years ago, most of her raving would have earned her a sharp tongued put down while some of her more venomous remark may even have earned a slap in the face. As it was I let her remarks slide and seethed over it instead. So here's my question. Does that make me a hypocrite?

Promise
Ok I have come to a conclusion. I have concluded that I am the world's worst blogger bar none. I started this blog as an outlet for my creative talent. Or as a constructive outlet for all the pent up anger/depression/joy inside me. Basically it was a place I could write down my thoughts, unedited, as it were and let it go. Looking back, I haven't done that. I've been too afraid to showcase any creative work for fear of harsh criticism and too secretive to share my thoughts on anything. I've been my own worst critic and harshest censor and in the end I've only myself to blame.
This ends today. I will post a new entry at least once a week. I am not going to second guess myself and I will not censor my thoughts or emotions or hamper my creativity. Besides, if getting my thoughts out here into cyberspace helps even one person or at the very least stops my head from exploding, it will have done some good.
Just me.
