So, here I am again, writing pretty much for the sake of writing. Every now and again I realise that I haven't posted for a while, and that I should do so. Invariably, this leaves me with a blog to write, and nothing really to write about. Nevertheless, I do intend to start writing some articles for magazines and newspapers, so perhaps it's time I learned to get over my writer's block.
What am I going to write about? I don't know really. I could tell you about what I did this weekend, or what I've been doing with my summer vacation. I could tell you about a spiritual experience that I've had recently, and what it meant to me, or I could talk about the different aspects of working for a multi-national coorporation. I could tell some jokes, or give you the recipe for the FANTASTIC chicken I cooked last night. But I can't think of an original way to do any of those things, so I'll just leave it at that. Voila. One more pointless post to add to the list...

Original? Original???!?!?!?! Markus Hardy you're a DJ-you of all people should know that it's all been done before...
So don't bother being original-I don't. My music used to sound like Handel (18th century), now it's a mix of Palestrina (16th century) and Vaughan Williams (turn of 20th century). But the only claim I have as an artist is that I can truly say that what a write either in sound or in word is simply out of who I am-my identity in God the Father, and the personality He gave me and is giving me-I mean, only He can really be original because only He truly lives over the sun.
So yes, tell us how your day was or how/what the recent spiritual experience was or the chicken recipe. We care more about who you are than what you can do anyways-even if you can cook up a mean bird.
Originality is often a futile experience, but subjectivity will always be in the ear of the beholder...
