(sigh) my first blog post. (long cliche pause as I think about how I feel conflicted on whether I'm happy about starting this blog or not) Bear with me as I try to figure out my "blog persona". And, I don't know what it is. But I guess (warning, cliche follows) a lot of learning who you are is learning what you're not. So here are a few of my thoughts on the "blog persona"s I don't want :
"The Ranter" - I don't want to go on and on about what I don't like about mundane things in life, how angry they make me and how my only outlet of rage is my blog which other people will read, and either agree and join in my rant, or disagree and therefore begin a counter-rant against me. I don't want to be a blogger who types words and more words hoping it will get the rage out, but it doesn't. Ever. It just gets them more mad, and full of rage, right?! Why don't they learn? I mean I hate those people, you know! OOoo...I've had it with them...that's it. I'm going to spend the next 15 blog entries getting my rage out about those ridiculous ranters, because they...oh...wait, if I rant about the ranters I will be one of them, and I just said I don't want to be one of them.
"The Gossip" - I do not want to be an on-line gossip. I don't want to write about a bad date I had last week, and I will not get back at the guy by telling embarassing stories of how bad of a date it was to an invisible, anonymous cyber audience. But, maybe that's less because I don't want to gossip and more because I don't really go on dates...although there was this one guy who...shoot! My gossip nature is struggling to get out...I must not become one of them.
"The Soapboxer" - I do not want my blog to be my personal soapbox. I don't want to be a ranter on the non-mundane things of life. Politics, religion, and other topics that have this world at each others throats. Now, I do love that I could write about that stuff on here, I have the freedom of speech and all, but come on, I'd rather spread the love, talk about what we have in common not what divides, and basically every other sacchrine cliche you can throw out there. Come on, people! Love!! Do I need to say that louder, use a megaphone, maybe get on my...soapbox...once again, I need to stop, I'm becoming one of them.
So if I'm not those things what am I?
"The Alienator" - Well, I used the phrase 'one of them' too many times...if I don't want to be a ranter, a soapboxer, or a gossiper, what else is there to talk about? I've alienated myself from my own blog.
...at least I don't have to feel pressure to (ever) write another entry.
