This blog is all about my ideas.
Since my perspective on life is generally skeptical, and my interests and focus are usually varied, eclectic skepticism just means a skeptical view on a wide range of issues, some political and public, others achingly personal, with no conceivable pattern or order. I kind of like the freedom of random ramblings on a wide variety of subjects. I like my focus on most things as wide and general rather than narrow and specific.
Skepticism does not mean cynicism. I love people, I love life and am pretty idealistic. Skepticism is more related to the spin put on things by people, believing what is portrayed. I just like to question, analyse, poke fun and moving on.
Most blogs I have read seem autobiographical: a record of achievements and failures. Mine will be different. Those of you who have read Harry Potter would remember a device used by Prof. Dumbledore where he stored his thoughts and memories which he could gather and reflect on later. I think it was called a mind sieve? Well this is my mind sieve, random thoughts which when taken together may form a pattern of who i am and what i think.
Just one more thing. My thoughts will probably be funny in a sarcy, smug kind of way reflecting intense schadenfreud (is that the correct spelling?). I like taking harmless pot-shots for the fun of it and think that if something is worth saying, its worth saying funnily.
Until I write again...
