I attended an event featuring Salam Pax, the famous Iraqi blogger, at the Sydney Writer’s Festival today and he said that everyone should write a blog, so here I am.
I have my doubts as to whether I am likely to want or need a blog voice, and as to whether there is even the slightest chance that I will be motivated to post here on a regular basis. I would guess probably not.
Following today’s event, I am the proud owner of an autographed edition of Mr Pax’s published blog collection. Salam seemed to me a lovely chap and holding an pragmatic and optimistic outlook regarding the future of his country, at least as far as is possible, considering the grim state of affairs that currently exists there. It was a grim and sad hour, but buoyed by Salam’ apparently irrepressible sense of humour.
And so to bed… (no not really).
