AN INSIGHT INTO THE BLOGS

 There has been, on the blogs some discussion about the quality and quantity of posting. I thought that a demonstration of blog posting styles showing a typical post from Richard, Robert and of course myself is in order.

Richard's will typically have some incomprehensible nonsense about music, followed by a disparaging remark about the Pope or the Catholic Church. There will likely be a snide remark about Robert and some mention of his daily toilet regime.

Robert's will be mostly dominated by a copied and pasted quote from some long-dead religious nutter followed by mention of how he washed his dog, built a garden ornament or stood in a river somewhere. It will conclude with a three word sentence of what he will be having for his tea.

Mine of course will be a beautifully crafted essay from a wide range of topics. Just what you would expect really.

Here goes:

RICHARD'S BASS BAG.

Music students should practice their advised 20-30 minutes as often as they can during the week, but the ones that excel are the ones that never time their practice sessions. They're focused on reaching the goal rather than the time. To recap, check your vision. Is it there? We want to make sure what's fuelling you comes from within. This will be evident when you subconsciously set goals for yourself. Next, how strong is your vision? Can a teacher fuel it? Support, even a little, can take you a long way. Once you reach your goal, you feel the work has paid off- you'll feel like a champion. And being a champ, is fun.

Robert's playing must be fuelled by  home brew beer.

I wonder which hand the pope uses to wipe his arse with?

Oops, that reminds me - I have to go.



ROBERT'S LOOKING FOR MEANING AND THE WAY.

“If there is no element of asceticism in our lives, if we give free rein to the desires of the flesh (taking care of course to keep within the limits of what seems permissible to the world), we shall find it hard to train for the service of Christ. When the flesh is satisfied it is hard to pray with cheerfulness or to devote oneself to a life of service which calls for much self-renunciation.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I washed the fence today before replacing all of the timber and then I painted it because it is man's job to do outdoor things while the woman stays indoors gossipping and dreaming up new jobs for the man to do.

Turnip rissoles. Catflaps and gravy.

'Practise' is the verb. Your depiction of my musical insights is very inaccurate. Probably best to go back to the gardening series. I don't mind when you write bullshit because I know that Robert is the only other person reading it.

It's like poking a bear with a sore head.

Poke is the verb.
