If, like me, you enjoy the English language for it's nuances, innuendo and associations, you'll also appreciate why I like to describe myself as a (Hedge) Which?. Consider first, not the spelling, but the sound of those two words and what associations you're making with each, then also add my comment prior to them and you'll begin to appreciate how my mind works.
I love all forms of communication, they Interest me. I've been told too many times that I think too much, but that seems such a strange comment to me. There's not enough time to think too much, it's impossible to achieve considering the range and depth of potential it provides. Nevertheless, I do understand why it's not always (or even often) appreciated.
So let me tell you a little about me and why I'm writing this 'blog'.
I'm almost 47, almost. When I tell people that, nowadays, they'll often reply, "That's not Old". I probably spend more time considering the implications of that comment. First, be reassured (in case you're wondering), I don't think I'm old at all. That doesn't mean I'm not prepared to use that term descriptively at opportune moments, like those times I am encouraging teenagers to do a bit more to help around the house, for example.
Still there's this question I haven't answered yet, and it's one I've asked myself so many different times in the past. Simply, "What did I do to deserve this?", or I could rephrase it, "Did I do something to deserve this?". When I think about it, there's a range of ways of rephrasing:
"Do I deserve this?"
"Who decides what I deserve?"
"If I deserve better, why hasn't that happened?"
