Hello

Not sure who is seeing this yet. What started out as a simple YouTube Channel is now a Google+ social labyrinth and I have no idea yet how it all works or fits together. But like a good little lab rat I ran down this particular tube and discovered a place to blog. A rather fortuitous discovery as my old blog site of similar name got "disassembled" when Bigpond.com suddenly decided not to host blogs anymore and scrapped its "BigBlog" site.

But being a poet and writer as well as a video maker and photographer, not having a place to "publish" my thoughts and observations is like trying not to breathe.

I don't think anybody is going to be that interested in what I had for breakfast, or who I met down the street, etc. You will be pleased to know it is not going to be that sort of blog. Rather it is going to be thoughts and observations about many diverse matters and aspects of the world and reality we all live in together. Much like my previous blog it will contain not only writings but also the odd poem or two and perhaps the odd photograph or two depending on what this blog system can do.

OK I'm off to check out what Blogger can do and how to drive it and how to set it up. Will try and get back soon.

Oh, by the way, those of you who have visited my YouTube channel will know that I am a committed follower of Christ, but with a very different "take" on things than most denominations and theologians put out. People love to put labels on others because they like life all neatly "pigeonholed". A little advanced warning, you are going to be a little hard pressed to find a label for me other than "Follower of Christ". The world hasn't invented a label yet that will stick to me or a pigeonhole that will accommodate me. I'm kinda ... different than what most people expect.

Bye for now. IB
