Blogging is something I never had any great desire to do. So much for that. I have now on WordPress alone more blogs than you can shake the proverbial stick at, plus a few other small blogs on other sites. This hyper-blogging came about as the result of events you can read about, if you wish, in one of my other online books: spite and malice. I began the blogging as a way to deal with the state of shock I was in in 2008, and in the hopes that I might find a journalist or a lawyer (or both) to help me. That didn’t happen.
What did happen was prolonged pain and anxiety, prolonged homelessness, and more. The homelessness is finally over, but the pain and grief and loneliness persist. The writing is a small distraction from and a small anesthetic to that pain.
After so much blogging, I asked myself: Why not online books? Books it is. Some being written from scratch, but most being pieced together from the many, many blog posts. This particular little book is a patchwork of posts that I like and want to have gathered together as a loose unit.
I don’t know many Finnish words, but of the few I know, there’s one I get a charge out of. Kaikenlainen. The book I found it in said it means “all kinds of things.” So maybe that’s what you’ll find here: all kinds of things.
