As you will see from the archive I produce a blog a day on random things that interest me. Some of it is childish and trivial, almost rude, and at other times it’s a structured rant about something. Maybe I should separate these into their own specialist sections rather than mixing them all up together, but that would require me to structure myself a bit. I’m not too good at that!
But, who is the ‘me’ of which I speak, eh?
Well, firstly my private life is my private life, and that includes protecting my employers or business interests or payers of my Unemployment Benefit or whatever might be the truth about how I derive my income. I am a private person. I hope you will respect that and understand why I rarely, if at all, make any reference to me and mine. This is in complete contrast to those who seem to live their entire lives in public via places like Facebook, which I do find a little odd. But, hey, that’s me.
However, outside of this little privacy rule, I am what you see and get via this daily blog, or via http://more.christopherengland.com.
If we have to wear labels, then I am probably right of centre politically, I am an atheist, have an obsession with ‘media’ that stems from radio anoraksia, love gadgets and gizmos and am excited by new music trends. I find I identify more with youth culture than I do with the elders of our society, thinking and feeling I am 19 whilst I’m clearly old enough to be a 19 year old’s grandfather!
I don’t dwell in the past, and find myself addicted to the future. I used to love the overview of the Star Trek universe, but I’m not a Trekie (I hope), although I do love to mull over concepts and philosophies.
Humans fascinate me, almost to a point where I can objectively (or is that ‘obsessively’) look at them from an outside perspective. I find their herding and sheep-like instincts bothersome, especially when it comes to mass-beliefs and blind acceptance.
The fact that mind control can so easily be performed for entertainment (which I do enjoy) shows me that in a bigger picture this is a vulnerability that needs to be fought in order to avoid the mass hysteria and crowd control that gives us ‘leaders’ living off their ability to ‘lead’. This annoys me and I feel a need to somehow help set people free (not that I actually can, of course).
I ask the question “Whose thoughts are yours?” because usually people just believe what they are told to believe and never question it. “Can you trust yourself to know the real truth or do you just believe what they convince you to believe?” continues this desire I have that people apply logic and investigate the sense of any claim before they accept it as true and make it part of their foundation in life. This should of course also apply to anything I say!
When I say “Only those who dare to be different will ever make a difference” I think I’m pointing out that to break away from being a safe sheep takes a lot of strength and can be dangerous. I mean, there was a time when saying the world wasn’t flat could get a person put to death, so it takes courage to stand up and say something isn’t how it was previously thought to be. Eventually, the difference an individual makes in this way is important because it helps humanity grow and mature and understand, so we must encourage people to dare to be different.
I hope that I retain and project a good sense of humour, but at the same time my ability to be objective and correctly suss the bigger picture is important to me. I’m not usually into conspiracy theories, believing things are actually a bit more disorganised and chaotic, but there are times when I wonder about this and express this in my writings.
Above all I’m happy to be proved wrong about anything I appear to believe I am right about. That’s up to you to help me with.
Please interact with me when you feel it might put me right.
Above all, enjoy. Thank you for your time.
