Dazed In The Life

This is one small step for me and totally irrelevant in the greater scheme of mankind. Writing a blog gives one the sort of publicity which once was only afforded to those with a hotline to the TV, radio and newspaper editors. Now though, the magical Internet gives everyone the opportunity to be opinion columnists, to have their voices heard worldwide and, most bizarrely of all, to share their innermost thoughts, hopes, prayers and secrets, should they wish, with an international network of total strangers. It’s amazing to think, some day in the future, that the words of millions of us will remain preserved in electronic chips to be read and analysed whereas the letters and diaries of many of our ancestors have already been lost in the fires, floods and attics of time. Anyway, here it begins: My name is Barry McStay and this is My Blog.
