Succumbed

Okay. I made a blog. So shoot me.

Why?

I swore I'd never have a blog. I don't really have anything smart to say, and I hate the commitment it takes to think up new material all the time. Am I a professional entertainer, or a comedian for the Internet masses, I ask you? - as I asked myself. Nooo. Let Neil Gaimans and Pamela Andersons of the world write their blogs; me, I'll be happy in my lazy obscurity. (Oh, and — if you're reading this, Neil — sorry for the juxtaposition.)

However, faced with an impending trip to a place that might be considered "exotic", I figured - okay, time to publish. Primarily because otherwise all my friends will pester me one by one with their inevitable how-was-its, and I really don't wish to repeat myself three, or even four times.

Thus — a blog.

I believe an introduction is in order, for those of you who do not know me personally, and have stumbled onto this greary (green and dreary) place in error. I live in Zagreb, which is a capital of Croatia, which is an European country, and not a type of decorative pumpkin (as I have heard it answered once). The exotic land in question is Syria, not in Europe but also a country, and also extremely unpumpkinny, where I will be spending the next two weeks of my so-called life.

So check back, my faithfuls, during the following fortnight, where I shall be putting down my near-eastern سوريا thoughts and experiences, if I find an Internet connection. And if not, forget the whole thing — since I probably will not bother typing everything post-facto.

It was a bit silly to start a blog and than expect and expect and expect the reply but to forget to tell about it alltogether :) I am suposed to do that! :P

I was a bit surprized when I got Your anouncement about it. I rushed to quickly scan the post but till now I have not had enough time on the net to reply.

For now, I say: !Two tumbs up for youre 'published material'!"
