"For God's sake, have something really interesting to say. The world's already brimming with people who have nothing to say. No reason to have more of them clutter up the Internet," said Marc Cooper today.
And I'm thinking - is there hope for me in this bloggers' world? Am I interesting? And what is the "something" that I need to say? Is it a certain opinion? Should it be backed by research? Am already having difficulty validating my reality to begin with.
Hey - the beauty of blogging is you can't "clutter up the internet." And how wonderful not to be judged or put down, down, down! The beauty of bloggers is the diversity of us. We can all belong to this club.
I have a poster of a diverse group of infants lying in a circle with words by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. inscribed underneath. I dedicate this to Marc Cooper:
Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -: "God damn it, you've got to be kind."
Note: I comented on Marc Cooper's blog to this effect. Very much to his credit he replied thus: "Tamar.. full steam ahead!"
Thanks, Marc!
Please don't think you ever need to back up your always thought-provoking and inspiring blog entries with anything that smells like "research." I guess there's a time and a place for that (*yawn*) but I, for one, am FAR more interested in your experience as a human being living in the diverse environments you've lived in with your particular blend of sensitivity, compassion, and awareness. Save the research statistics for the endnotes section of your next Heinemann book. We'll put them in 6 pt. type to please the university professors but to avoid disturbing all your readers who will be nodding their heads and laughing and crying as they read what you have to say...
