Small Time Blog Writer Writing About Big Issues.

Everyone who has been to my blog knows that I'm a small time blog writer who writes about petty stuff because I don't have the brain to tackle big issues involving the government, politics, economy or why the world leaders are so fond of wars and more wars that kill thousands of people not connected with whatever it is that the soldiers are fighting for. I am not ashamed to admit that I have never been to a university to learn a thing or two about anything that people go there to learn; reading books, attending lectures, seminars, discussions, spending years and years poring over big books to research about a lost tribe behind their backyard. And so you ask, what am I trying to do writing about big issues that I know nothing of?

I reckon it won't kill me to talk about big stuff people around me are discussing among themselves, agreeing and disagreeing that very nearly bring them to a fist fight. Quite frankly it would be a great idea to start a brawl when all the talking is done since I'm not all that hot about arguing and defending a point with words. A couple of punches won't kill a guy. In fact it'll do him good. It'll get him all excited, pushing his BP a little bit, making him all hot in the head to forget about being afraid for a second or two, and fight like a man that he is. But none of that is going to happen here at this respectable restaurant since everyone is so civil, defending and arguing their point on an issue as if this whole thing is being taped live on national TV. I don't follow what they are saying because most of the time they use big words that I've never heard of and I don't have the dictionary on hand to go look the words up to find out the meaning. And so I pretend to agree or disagree whenever necessary, trying to look interested as if I know what they are talking about, how an issue can affect their bank account or the way they flush their toilet or something to that effect.

They are talking about bloggers being sued by some big time newspaper company. About freedom and about rights, and more rights and about standing up to your rights like a man. I don't know if you have ever been in a street brawl but if you have like I've been, you'd know better never to trust those who say they'd stand right behind you when the fight is going down because experience taught me that they are the people who run off like a rabbit the minute punches start flying and bottles start breaking.

I learnt enough to know that when it comes to a fight, you are all alone and you've got only yourself to defend. What do you expect from a guy who used to work his way up from a roughneck to a guy responsible to put out the fire when it happens at a rig.

What was the big issue I tried to write about?
