Internet Gem: Something About Us

In one of my posts a few months ago I acknowledged the wonderful power of the Internet and it's almost miraculous power to excavate many precious gems. It may be a very humorous picture, a motivational article, a tear jerking video etc. It can be absolutely anything.

So for that reason I welcome a new segment to MIKEZ WORLD: Internet Gems. Whenever I stumble across anything amazing on the Internet and I feel like sharing it I'll post it here.

So to commemorate one of my favourite albums reaching it's 10 year anniversary here is what I feel is an Internet gem.

I'm not even going to go into why I think their music is out of this world. I'd be here writing for days. But my favourite album of theirs is entitled 'Discovery' and it was released in 2001. And my favourite song on the album and favourite song full stop is 'Something About Us'. I was derided many times in Secondary School for liking such a song. But after 10 years it has withstood the test of time and I still have the same feeling every time I listen to it. There are a whole host of covers that I have viewed on YouTube but in my opinion this is one of the best:

The Comeback

What can I say?

It's the return of the most inconsistent blogger EVER.
I know it is jarring. But I just can't help it. When procrastination and laziness creep in there is almost nothing I can do to curtail their devastating effects.

So to my readers I sincerely apologise. A righteous man would promise to blog more consistently. But a honest man, which I am, will just promise you that he would try harder. But life is life and shit happens.

I have a few post ideas and will publish some long overdue ones over the coming weeks. But I always say the best way to begin is just to begin. So that is exactly what I'm doing. Hopefully announcing my "comeback" will spur me to write. Which is not to say I lack the passion or the drive. I just always find some excuse not too. Which is bad but honest.

I am disappointed that in the two years since I started my blog that I have barely got to 60 posts. But one of my targets for last year was to be more proud of my writing which I half achieved. I may not have been proud in terms of quantity but in terms of quality I am very proud. My writing has evolved from it's controversial beginnings into something more substantial. I'm not sure if I can call myself a "writer" in the traditional sense but I write what matters to me. My writing is a reflection of everything that is contained within me. A tool which is supposed to be utilised by the people in my life to gain an insight into the way I think. But I'm happy for all to read.

So I intend to pick up where I left off. I will continue with the deeper insights into my psyche, the personal and open factor a lot of you really liked in "I guess it was kinda my fault as well". I like engaging people's minds and challenging them to think from perspectives other than their own, so that will continue. A major U-turn I am making is on the subject of relationships. Last year I wanted to steer clear from writing about them because I am no relationship expert and didn't want my beautiful creation to turn into some relationship blog. But I have to admit defeat. I can't seem to escape from the topic. That's what people like to read about so I have to reluctantly concede that that will have to be what I write about from time to time. As long as there are people from both sexes willing (and in some cases neurotically yearning) to enter into mutually exclusive sexual relationships with each other then the subject cannot be avoided.

So that is all I have to say for now. Looking towards the future I clearly know in which direction I want my writing to go. Now for the hard bit...Just to write it. Hopefully I'll be proud of my writing on both fronts this year.
