update on my update (plus: sharing what pops into your head)
By alice | January 14, 2010
So, after careful pondering and intense inner debate, I have decided to… leave this blog more or less just as it is, and put my new blog ideas in totally different parts of the internet. Mad Housewife will continue to be the spot for occasional, rambling and/or intellectually ponderous articles that have no unifying theme or identifiable reason for existing, other than being interesting to me and who knows maybe a couple of other people who like them too. The title remains despite not really describing me very well these days, because… well, it’s the url too.
And generally I’ll continue posting under-140 and under-420 character thoughts on twitter and facebook, because that’s what the internet is for, right? Processing things that pop into your head.
Because, you know, there are people on the internet whose heads seem to consist of nothing but stuff that perfectly fits into their career aspirations and business brands, and whose every little thought, by remarkable serendipity, seems to be something that will bring in extra sales. And there are people who just don’t share what pops into their head on the internet, they inflict it on their family and friends instead, or maybe spend hours every day in deep meditation achieving perfect mind-soul balance. And my feeling on what to post and what to keep schtum is basically: whatever floats your inner-tube. I can’t get motivated about being either market-perfect or perfectly-dignified, when it comes to conversation: my main goal is to get everything that comes into the brain back out again, so it will leave me alone. And if that means twittering lunch, facebooking a headache or waffling endlessly about philosophical theory on this blog, then so be it. (And if any of that denotes that I am bonkers, readers have been warned in the title already!)
Onwards and upwards! And please do have a very happy and fulfilling 2010 if I haven’t wished you one already
