Into the Malestrom

I've been blogging for over three years but have, until now, avoided blogging on some areas of my life which are core to my being.

Art. Politics. Sport. Social Commentary.

It's basically been my instinct for self preservation which has caused me to steer clear of these things until now. You see,words that go into cyberspace never really leave you. They can come back at you in unknown ways, provide ammunition for future enemies you don't even yet know you'll have. I've long been aware of the use of new technologies to those small minds who would want to control ours. I've always been wary.

Recently, however, I've noticed the 'political' creeping into the other things I do. That's not really fair on my readers for those particular blogs. I know how much it bugs me to go and read someone about their lives and instead get a facefull of ideology (even if I agree with the thoughts - it's abusing a readership). Also, the unconscious 'shadow' will creep into all if not given its own expression.

So here, dear reader, it is. Or, more strictly speaking, here it will be.

And in case you're wondering why I've put 'defamatory', 'seditious' and 'obscene' into my page header - it's to remind me NOT to be these things on this blog!

[The 'Adelaide' in the title is to help the search engines, 'leftish freak' vaguely describes my politics]
