freelance paradigm

What is one to say when an honour is given. Is a modest "Thank you" enough? So I say; thank you for reading my blog, thank you for connecting to the idea that is behind of it and after all: thank you for expresing that with your vote. I am deeply honoured.

Of course the benefit is mutual. A bit more than a year ago I was in serious doubts wether I should start a blog or not. At that time it seemed like everyone has it. Why should I do it? What do I have to say, I'm just an ordinary guy. Hm...

So I figured out, that I should treat my blog like "my own news paper". Be a reporter and reader at the same time. Report on things that happen arround me (and maybe a little bit about me). When I was browsing blogs of people form all over the world, I have found their places and stories interesting, so it should work vice-versa. A statue in Ljubljana, that I go by everyday, seems nearely invisible and very ordinary to me, but it should be an attraction for someone who lives on the other side of the globe, right?

A little bit of subjective opinion can't do harm. This is what separates a blog from an official media. And that's what makes it interesting.

Then there is an idea of sharing knowledge and ideas to raise up the awareness. I already wrote about that. So at the end of all, I believe there are many reasons why to start a blog.

Thank you for giving me an oppurtunity to speak out. Thank you My Opera for this wonderful atmosphere* that you've created here and that inspires us to make it even better.

yours,
Nikio
