I fear blogs. In fact, I loathe them. They intimidate me. I feel like I have to be creative or bring something new to the table, but Im convinced I have little to offer.
My fear of blogs is like my fear of Twitter. To further allow you to take a risky dive into this dysfunctional brain of mine, I will recall a story that depicts my brain perfectly. One time, I sat at my kitchen counter on a worthless Friday night attempting to decide if I felt like begin alone or social, a reoccurring debate inside my head, and after pacing my house for a good half hour I decided to sit down and create a Twitter account. Go figure.
People for years have been attempting to convince me that "Twitter is where its at," I beg to differ. First things first, Facebook brings me so much joy it's to a point of ridiculousness and last, but not least, I hardly care about your one sentence tweets on life -- "so done," "so angry." Is it terrible for me to admit that I SoHo don't care. I figure we can agree; I don't care about your life, you don't care about mine. Anyway, I digress, point being is that I dislike twitter, not only because my lack of interest in your life and my disgust in your dire need for sympathy, but because it requires creativity.
So I sat at the counter for 3 hours, yes you heard me, 3 hours, attempting to think of a creative username - sketchpad and all. I wrote down every thought that came to mind, but I made no commitment. I wanted it to be so much more than just a username. Something humorous obviously, I'm all about sarcasm, but then again something that defined me. By the end of the night I only concluded one thing:
I will never create a blog or twitter account unless forced and it will most definitely be without my consent.
So here I am, blogging. I am a straight up blogger and a straight up G nonetheless.
So I will now take this moment to apologize for my lack of creativity; hence my URL.
Much love people. Consider my first entry and intro complete.
Peace.
You are definitely NOT lacking in creativity as you did come up with these "sarcastic" and amusing things to write about for your blog. I must say, sarcasm and humor requires A LOT of creativity. Nevertheless, I must agree with you on the part that blogs intimidate as well. I never know what news things I have to offer, but you on the other hand, are definitely bringing a lot more than you think to your posts. Well, that was just some thoughts I had on my mind that I thought I should share with you. Can't wait to read more of your sarcasm/humor! haha
