So why idle Tuesdays...

So. Welcome to the blog. Wait, I already said that. I don't want to create a bad impression, because you know how people make judgements quickly, within seconds seems to be the accepted understanding. Anyway, so I have flirted with blogs previously, I even had a brief relationship with one for a while. It was nice, lasted a couple of years, I expressed thoughts and feelings about triathlon training. Yup, you heard it here first, a whole blog dedicated to training. And I wasn't the only one, there was a brief period in the mid 2000's where there was more than a smattering of training related blogs. Unfortunatley for me, my relationship broke up based on quite significant differences. It turns out (prepare to be shocked here) I am not an athlete. Not even a little bit.

So this second flirtation with blogging is going to be grounded in a couple of my other interests; criticism, psychology and more of a cultural critique (Alan Jones minus the gross and blatant bigotry). For old times sake, I may enter into running and cycling sporadically ( I promise the visits will be brief and entertaining).

So, I can see the confusion on your face, what is the idle Tuesdays about? Well, since you asked! :)

Since hearing that random 'Sunscreen Song" which I believe was penned by Baz Lurhman for some kind of reinstatement of Shakespearian values for the 90s. This song provided many valuable pearls of wisdom, of course about wearing sunscreen, taking care to avoid arthritic knees and not colouring your hair alot. It also makes quite insightful reference to the notion that those incidents in life which provide the most jarring and distressing situations are those which occur randomly on Tuesdays, without warning or any sense of ability to prepare...And so, I recall frequently the salience of this, and in my experience i have found that this is indeed the case. Tuesdays bring me the most unexpected, difficult, heart wrenching and frustrating experiences. I will dispense these experiences....now. Again, I borrow from Baz. And I won't be doing it all now. I think I might publish on Tuesdays, oh yes, yes I will.
