Well, here it is. I've joined the ranks of people with nothing better to do but talk about stuff that really doesn't matter...or at least it doesn't affect any body else.
Having said that, I don't have anything to say. I don't even have anything to say that won't affect anybody else. I realize that's pretty sad, but seeing as it's my first blog I'm not that concerned about it. I'm sure something will happen.
Why do they call it a blog anyway? Why isn't it a journal? I was thinking about writing a journal. You know...in a nice book, with a nice pen, thinking everything through thoroughly before I even start to write. I guess that's the big difference. You have to make sure you know what you want to write in a journal or diary -the difference between these two might be the subject of another blog- you can't start to write it and then backspace when you don't like what you wrote. Anyways, I was thinking of writing in a real book with nice paper, but I realized two things.
One, I'm not patient enough. I'd never be able to think about what I want to write and be satisfied enough to write it. At least not before what I wanted to say is moot, or void or whatever.
Two, my handwriting is atrocious. I probably couldn't read it the next day. Not just my cursive writing, but my block print as well. This made me think that perhaps writing is a dying art form. And by writing I mean cohesive, attractive, full worded (not txt wrd) prose. But then an amazing thing happened. My significant other (common law wife...wife...partner...mother of my child...love of my life...etc.) started writing a blog. She barely reads any books, or newspapers or anything that I've seen really. But, her blog is amazing...it's funny and heartwarming (I almost typed heartworming by accident). When I'm having a particularly kaka day, I read it and it makes me happy. It made me realize that some people are just gifted. They can write or sing or dance naturally. She's one of those people.
I'll try to be one of them too. But, I think if you have to try to be one of those people, then by definition, you aren't.
