I'm not going to have a blog.

I created this blogger user profile so that I could post comments on a friends blog (http://privatespyros.blogspot.com/) but I don't actually want to start my own blog. I've been in this game since I was 18 and started writing a paper diary. I did consider an electronic diary of some sorts but I collect things along the way such as bits of paper, photos, tickets and cards which are much easier to stick into a paper diary than to scan. Plus, as a programmer by profession, I get enough electronic action and I see my paper diary as the last bastion of old-skool handwriting. A paper diary (made of loose A4 sheets) doesn't need batteries, can fit in your pocket, and can aid creativity. One day I might convert my paper diary into an electronic form but only when voice recognition technology is perfect (I guess 2020). It might be nice re-living the memories.
