I've been feeling pretty tired the last couple of days, but for some reason, I wake up way before the alarm goes off. Bummer.

Had plenty of time to think about stuff these hols. Serious stuff, lame stuff, and the seriously lame stuff. An item of consideration was why I've never used titles in my blog entries. The first reason I could think of was obviously the fact that I'm just too freaking lazy to think up something fancy. But I realised something a little more sinister.

I've noticed an unnerving trend in my writing, which as pointed by Ms Ng, happens in my presentations too. Rambling. I've been having conclusions that I didn't envisaged having when I started writing. Quite honestly, I've been allowing my arguments to lead me to whatever conclusion they fancied. The entry about Antonio Puerta's death is a case in point. Didn't mean to even include the rant at the heavy fixtures list, but I concluded with that in the end. And this can be seen in quite a few entries too.

Having arguments that lead to unexpected conclusions isn't really a problem; it might even be a boon. But it is in rambling, where the piece is all over the place, that kills good writing. Either that, or I take my writing a little too seriously. =\

By the way, I realised that this entry is another case in point.
