Again!


I've been willing to start this blog for a while now. Not that I don't have a blog. I always had a blog. Since I've got internet, I'm blogging. I'm a big blogger. But somehow, don't ask me why, my blogs always turned out crappy after a while. I start them having a certain vision of how it would look like, what I would put on it, etc. Let's say, I always try to develop a kind of concept of my blog(s) before starting them. But, after several months, or years, there always comes a point where I decide to check what I've done so far and I'm always disappointed, weirdly. Disappointed of the bullshit I put on it sometimes! Gosh! I find the blog(s) inconsistent, they look like a patchwork of different things put side by side with no logic. There's no atmosphere, no main concept coming out, it looks like crap! See, I try to watch it and read it as if I was a total stranger, as if I'd land on it by accident, and see if I would interest or entertain myself. And most of the time, after a few pages, I don't. It sucks! Not that I want to be pleasing. Pleasing is precisely what's boring. On the contrary! I want people to react to what I write, I want to upset them, make them think, I want them to hate my blog or agree if they do, I don't care. But I want to make them come back and be curious of what's gonna come next. I want a reaction, which I don't get most of the time. I always have many readers at the start and the more pages the blog(s) have, the less comments you'll find and the less visits will be registered. And though, some nice things happen sometimes. I made already a few nice encounters through the pages of my blogs. A few exceptions who turned out to be interested in my stuff (weird!) and started to follow my blog(s) attentively and regularly (even weirder!). That's flattering and enriching. Those people are interesting, most of the time they have their own little personal window on the web and it's quite pleasant to follow their stories and creations. And then you get attached and start conversing outside the frame of your blogs. Such experience is really cool. Anyway, I don't want you, new readers of this brand new blog, to think this is a kind of subliminal preliminary message to you. It's just an introductory explanation of why I start this new blog: let the past in the past, let's start it all over again and hope this time, it will be better! Maybe I'll reach and encounter more of these interesting people out there this time. Anyway, it doesn't mean I hate everything I posted in the past, I'm not that perfectionist neither. Hey, I'm proud of some of my pieces! So, the "best of the past" might maybe appear here and there sometimes in this blog too. And, it doesn't mean I will succeed in my mission this time, but I'll try my best, again! I'm not pre-apologizing or something for what I'll write in the future (that would be really stupid), I just try to be honest with you guys, and hope that despite this lame introduction, you'll become faithfull and active readers of this blog.
Just a last remark, I want this blog to be in English, first, to make sure everyone or, at least, most of you can understand it (that means I'd like your comments to be in English too please, if possible), but, secondly and mostly, because it'll allow me to continue to practice my english in some kind of way. I really enjoyed being surrounded by English-speakers when I was living in Prague last year and I kinda miss it now that I'm back in Brussels, conversing nearly exclusively in French and getting pissed by people's lame accent in English - and worse, getting pissed by the lame accent I'm slowly getting myself with my lack of practice (Boo! I know, I know!). However, I'll be more than likely posting some articles in French, like thoughts, poems, short stories I wrote/will write in my mother tongue because it's just easier.
This all to welcome you to my new blog. Enjoy, react, and come back! ;-)
