Needs more pathos

I think people find the idea that I have a blog called "That's What Shu Said" more a-musing than its actual contents. Not only because that there isn't really much to laugh at, but what exists appears to be fragmented and not engaging - a weak expression of pathos, an absence of ethos and textured with rubbery logos.

"More pathos!" The Greek critics cried, "His logos is ill-prepared! He must take his time; marinate it with more life experience and perhaps less trivial opinions!"

I read the blog. All 5 entries. And I had to say I agreed. It was shit. And so the culling began.

But like the Berliners did when they rebuilt their city, I left pieces of my past for visitors to view; regret and perhaps even cry over. So when they leave, they can look back and say "Hey, That's What Shu Said has come a long way".

Maybe they'll leave a comment and/or be compelled to visit again. Maybe they'll even grown particularly fond of something they find in my blog during their travels and develop some sort of emotional bond with it... only to be driven mad but its intangibility, which will drive them to separate themselves from the object of their attachment to end their suffering. Tangents are great. Inside jokes are also good. Rib-jabbing would be appropriate at this stage.
