Getting my blog legs (back) on

Getting back, sitting down and actually writing a post is not easy. And it doesn't help when you think about the people reading, and try to please the reader, without realising that what pleases them the most is just you being you. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding this.

I've wanted to write an update about the (non-existent) love life of mine for sometime now. Baring out personal stuff on the blog can be hard, especially since more and more people from real life start reading the blog, and the regular bloggers are becoming an ever bigger part of my real life. Not that I mind that, but you can't just chuck stuff out there and not deal with the consequences anymore. So you have to really stand by what you write, and I never stand by anything I say, so... problem! ;)

Sorry about the mess I made up there trying to express myself. It's times like these that makes you realise that no matter what, one hundred posts on (ah we're getting to the real point now) you're still learning. With every post you write, every comment you receive, you realise more and more that you're still an infant in the vast blogosphere. You're still learning, you're still understanding yourself and what sort of a person/blogger you are. And that's what keeps people going in this business, I guess. :)

I don't want to drag this post, but there's a vast backlog of things I need to write about, and now that I've gotten going, I'm tempted to tack them on to this post. I really shouldn't!

So I'll end this by saying a heartfelt "Thank You!" to everyone who's stuck with me. There were ugly times, there were useless snippets and posts with wild unverified claims chucked up carelessly into the 'sphere, and there sure was a load of male PMSing, hidden behind jargon (I hate that word so much!) to disguise it's true meaning. I can give you promises that I can't keep, tell you that it won't happen again, but like I said: I'm still learning. This is a totally unplanned spontaneous journey, and you don't know if you'd end up in Arugam Bay or just Wellawatta beach. Let's just hope that it's the former.

    Well, my school rugby team would be the Thomians, but I'd be lying if I say I enjoy rugby that much, which is ironic since my father played for and captained his school rugby team back in the day... :S But I do enjoy my cricket, was so heart breaking to watch us lose that semifinal to England... :(

I was at my cousin's place in Kandy for the weekend and caught up on some posts here and there, but couldn't really comment or anything. :D At least I can access my twitter and Facebook through my phone, and occasionally blogger through this old machine... :)

  22. I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to well-wishing of just spend time staring at it as a formality of catharsis. In a opportunity, it helps me with meditation, to reduce stress and well-grounded think in the air nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've perpetually sedate more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, musical boxes etc. So I was most delighted when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Light Appear Laser Crown Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com protection the Toys section. It's like a musical box, a spinning better, and a light reveal all rolled into one. Which is spectacular entertainment! The gyroscope wishes whirl object of around a minute. The laser light show with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a very unequalled fiddle with that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.

    My dogs are also beautiful curious prevalent the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They evermore attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first they kept barking at the laser slight accompany, and also because it produces music. But after they got employed it, they've stopped barking but due keep following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused by it. Occasionally it's moral to have fun toys throughout the ancestry so that you can pull out the small on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you live prepare scoff or get changed. The gyroscope is one such fool with with this purpose.

    The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a taper show with red, downcast, and unripened colours. Pit oneself against a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser incandescence show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that enormous but facts adequacy to consider any new visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and black, making it look extraordinarily cool, and to some arrogant with that dragon imprint.

    The music luminescence make clear gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also utilized this gyroscope to their heels my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy chore of decorating the b & b latitude with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as well so that the laser light clarify produces a fresh effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the understanding effects created a rather romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, by the style, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping locality for all gifts and ideas in compensation romantic occasions.

    Since Christmas is coming, this laser lamp upstage gyroscope can dialect mayhap be a superb Christmas give-away seeking the toddler or in spite of the humour! Alternatively, the gyroscope can really be a kindly addition to the ordinary Christmas decorations. I can fancy placing it within a mile of the Christmas tree and maybe spinning it when guests hit town in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject yet again!
