It has been brought to my attention, by more people than I'd like to mention, that I should write more. I've done the LiveJournal circuit for a few years, but life on that road can be unforgiving and depressing at times. A change of scenery will do me good. Besides, I've also heard the crowd over here tips better.
In a way, though, I fear that I am conforming. I am giving in. I just want to be a part of the rage. The movers and trend-setters have cast their line of temptation into the lake, and I finally took the bait. Blogger.com IS all the rage, right!? Gosh, I hope so. I can't be seen anywhere unless it improves my image, because as you know, I'm ALL ABOUT my image. It's not about what you write in your blog, it's about how you look while you're writing it. Original ideas, thought provocation, humor, and perspective; these are all ideas that run a distant second to the real purpose of blogging... popularity. Yes, I think I'm getting the hang of this already.
Ah shit, I just realized something troubling... I might actually have to think and be creative now. I'm also supposed to have a theme and a modern yet edgy and artistic banner graphic, right? Ok, fine, I'll get right on it. I wouldn't want to disappoint my fan (soon to be fans, plural, after I send the link to my mom).
Talk later.
Well, THAT was completely masturbatory. Can I add you to the list of people I've inspired to start a blog? Because I'm up to about 6, and I AM keeping track.
ReplyDeleteP.s. Blogging is for the extremely narcisstic. Why else would we believe that people actually want to hear what we have to say? Remember that. Also remember that the more people you piss off, the more popular you become...no such thing as bad publicity, eh?
Also ALSO remember that your blogger persona is not you...and NO ONE is really interested in hearing "wah wah wah my life my woes."
That's all I got for you so far, n00b. Best 'o luck.
Your advice is appreciated and equally as masturbatory. And with great reservation, I will allow you to add me to your list, but only under one condition- you must agree to drop me an occasional comment. Narcissism, as you know, is shameless, and I have yet to make many friends in blogging community.
