Not sure why I am taking up blogging again. My life has gone through some pretty crappy twists and turns recently and I kind of feel like I need a space to vent. I used to use Facebook for notes of the type that I will post here but recently I have begun to feel that FB is not the appropriate medium for deep thoughts or controversial statements. I think FB is more for keeping in touch with friends and letting them know what you are up to that is positive. I see far too many people using FB for political agendas and 'Look at me, aren't I fabulous' comments and that is diminishing my enjoyment of Facebook. Sometimes it feels like a chore to log on and see what is going on when it should be a delight.

So the resurrection of the Barefoot Blog.http://corneliustarantella.blogspot.com/

Here I can be political, be personal and be truthful without having to play the FB games of silly comments and misunderstandings and arguments between people who should be my friends. Here I can be Cornelius instead of playing the games that society forces upon us.

We'll see how long it lasts before I get bored or criticised etc.

As for me, I am a manic depressive who struggles with the point to life. I am very left wing and can see no way that I can fit in to the global society we have created for ourselves.
I have 2 amazing children but have recently been left by my long suffering wife who feels the need to strike out on her own without having to be a crutch to me. Obviously I don't see things entirely that way but maybe I shall explore such feelings in later posts. Maybe not.

So my life has been destroyed root and branch and it is up to me where I go from here. Rebuild or retire.

Maybe this will document that journey.
