Firstly, please be aware I am free to alter the information I post on this blog at any given time, regardless of whether I posted something yesterday, or a year ago. There is a few reasons for this;
- My memory is shot in the short term, but improves with the long term. Facts come back to me more clearly with time, so what you might read one day might be altered the next because something I wrote might have been incorrect and I have corrected it.
- I might embellish slightly as I write. When I come back to read things, I might find I have injected too much passion into it so I may adjust my writing accordingly. Whilst I do subscribe to "don't let the truth get in the way of a good story!", I don’t (intentionally) apply that to my writing.
Secondly, my Blog is fairly cathartic. In beginning to write this blog, a lot of submerged feeling has come to the surface for me. What may be hard to swallow for some might be enlightening to others. Sometimes I want to scrub what I have written as I think it's not the norm to do this kind of thing - it's not! which is precisely the reason I do this. If you can't deal with this, don't read it. I'm a democracy. You have the right to switch me off.
Lastly, this Blog is themed. It's not a generalisation of my life. It encompasses what to this day are the two most significant building blocks of my life - surfing and my own identity (no, I am not a "surfer"). Surfing helped remove me from reality when I was young and got me through youth. Now, as I am older, my naval gazing has prompted the realisation I am something more than I thought. But what? My mind is a spun rubix cube and I'm trying to get the colours to meet again. So if you want to know everything else about me, Google my user name: siimonrampe and see what you find - that is, if you really, really want to. I wouldn't. I'm me....and I'm sure the sun is shining and you have better things to do.
