Copy Cat or Little Brother? April 15th, 2008

Phil Martin

Because I took a nap this afternoon, I am still awake at 0209:17. Which means that tomorrow I will be tired in the middle of the day. Oh well.

Since I was awake, I was perusing my brother’s blog, Minor Thoughts, and was contemplating my own blog. I tend to want to be like him, though I understand I probably never will be. But I am starting to blog more, writing about myself, personal issues, things that happen, whatever interests me.

So, the big question is: am I merely copying him, or am I doing the little brother thing and learning from my older sibling? Or is it the same thing? Not sure. Perhaps we both inherited the writing gene from our mother, and blogging is today’s easiest way to say whatever we want to whoever actually sits down and reads these things, poor souls who have little else to do. (Being facetious, if you read this A: don’t be offended and B: please keep reading).

Should I find some other way to express myself, some other medium that he isn’t utilizing? On that hand, the philosopher Shlomo said “Nothing new under burning ball in sky” (no, really, he did….look it up).

But, since it is getting later, or earlier, depending on your perspective on life, and since I am starting to get a sleep-deprivation headache, I will leave the question open to debate.

Adios.
