Take 3
After reading http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com for a while, I've had a change of heart on what my blog will be. Much like the linked blog I will be posting the random thoughts that course through my brain. I became very interested in web comics, and wanted to do one of those for a while. I stumbled across http://xkcd.com/ which is much like my web comic would have been. But I realized that in a web comic you can only post a very short thought, and my brain has way too much to put in to such a short format.
Why Now?
Recently I went through some difficult times, and I was posting things on Facebook. Much like the idea of a web comic, a status update on Facebook only gives a small look at the world of craziness that is going on inside my head. People didn't realize the sarcasm in some of my posts. People started to get scared. They thought I was on a downward spiral into oblivion. And in a way I was, but it was more like a rotating circular platform with a giant spiral painted on it, and I was walking along the spiral line towards the center as the platform spun around causing dizziness and a slight loss of my grip on sanity. The difference between this and what people thought was the fact that right now when I decide I am done spiraling I can just walk away from the center of the room and step off the spinning circular platform and be just fine. Because of all of this I took a hiatus from Facebook.
About These Posts
I want to describe what this blog will be about. But I think it's easier to start with what it won't be about.
What this blog won't be about
After recently watching the movie about the origins of Facebook, I've realized that a blog isn't the best place to write about relationship issues. This doesn't mean I won't write about relationships and how they affect my life. It does mean that I won't complain about a potential girlfriend doing a theoretical thing that makes me upset.
This will not be a Dear Diary blog. I want to write things that are inside my head, which I would like to share.
This will not be an attempt to make money from doing something that many other people can do, until I have enough posts to turn into a book and then publish it and rack in the dough! Cha Ching!
What this blog will be about
Random stuff. I'll generally try to keep it on a light-hearted note, but my sense of humor tends towards a dry sarcasm, so the humor may be lost on some.
Items that pertain to my life journey. For example I've decided I want to try to be Vegan for a month. I'm not an animal rights activist, and really I like meat. A lot. But "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" taught me that Vegans get super powers, and I think I would be a pretty good super hero. I don't have any super powers right now, and I am already totally awesome.
Stuff that will make you think, then realize that it wasn't serious at all and you'll ask yourself "Self why am I thinking, when I could be sitting on the couch drinking a glass of wine and watching TV or Movies?"
-Religion: I grew up Catholic. I wouldn't consider myself a practicing Catholic anymore, but I do have spiritual beliefs. The ones that are less on the serious side will be shared here.
-Politics: I plan to eventually rule the world, but unlike movie villains, I would like to take the route of getting voted in as Emperor of the entire world, as opposed to viciously taking it and then being in charge of a bunch of people who don't like me.
Conclusion
This isn't much of a conclusion, because really it's the end of the first post. When this becomes a book people will look at this and be like wow, this was a really short book. And then they'll be like that is a very large appendix that follows the true contents of the book. I've never been diagnosed with A.D.D,. but that's because I've avoided it. I read a book about the common signs of A.D.D. before meeting with a counselor in elementary school, and did everything in my power to not show the signs.
As the blog grows and progresses I will probably come back and make edits to the part about what this blog is about and not about. Maybe I'll get drunk one night, delete the whole part about not writing about relationship problems, and then write a post, and totally regret it the next day when my hypothetical girlfriend hears about how I was upset about the way she folded my underwear on Good Morning America because I'm so famous and then breaks up with me. I would also like to mention that I have a lazy version of O.C.D. I'll write a post about the A.D.D. and O.C.D. at some point.
