blogging

What is this idea of blogging? a way for people to express their themselves and get themselves out there is some would say, that its just that shy man's attempt at fame. Others would even say it was for those who crave the attention of their ego, an attempt to gain a self of satisfaction of knowing that someone is reading what i (the witty, clever, well informed, hip, confident, knowledgeable) have to say and benefiting from said literary genius. I was one of those who fell into the last category, and to some degree still do. Maybe this is my craving for attention, my craving that someone out there is reading this and thinks im cool, or says i totally get that! I thought i would never blog to be that big headed and crave the critiques of others. on the hand does that not make me pompus and proud? thinking im too good or too humble to blog on the internet because its what everyone else is doing? I dunno.

To me blogging is like facebook statuses and not for the obvious connection. With blogs and those status updates we are constantly trying to put ourselves out to the public casually but still cool. We try to make these updates and posts clever and obsecure so only some of our "friends" may understand, or try to be funny so we get 15 likes as if it makes our self worth higher knowing someone appreciates my humor. And then we have the person who just says what he wants to say about every single thing in his life. All three piss me off because we are just so fake on a means of attempting to be real.

Hell while writing this blog i found myself falling into the same pitfalls i criticize. I guess its just inherent when we put our thoughts on the internet, we constantly try to put the best without seeming to be trying too hard. Its like a continuous first date in which we cant tell if we just want sex, a relationship, or to get the fuck out.

and for the record the rent is too damn high.
