I feel the need to speak to my blog. A blog is a person’s box of secrets, where the dirtiest, ugliest thoughts come to life. If you’ve got a page about religion, rationality, and advice… then you should seriously consider doing something more useful with your time like making some meatballs… if you’re a vegetarian. Believe me… people will shuffle off to the next page. To me, blogging is Schizophrenia – Step One. I haven’t met many bloggers and I’ve always intended to keep my span very, very limited. Anonymity is a remarkable bliss. I don’t usually say the shit I write about. I’m usually the quiet type. I hate small talk. Fuck the weather. I don’t care what you think of my shirt. I don’t care whether you had fun or not. Small talk is not a talent of mine. Maybe that’s why I was never good at relationships or friendships. I tend to lose my ability to blah. I can’t bullshit people to their face. I need Relationships for Dummies badly. I wasn’t always that cold. Back in school I once talked to a friend of mine about my “symbolic barriers”. We used to be close back in the day. Now we don’t talk at all. Why can’t I just let people in? When will I be able to bury my big ass Not Welcomed sign? Why is it that every time I get too close to someone, I just run off? I am very, very picky about the people I hang out with and about the things I say. Is that why I’m easily bored? Is it why I’m usually quiet? I have nothing to hide. I never killed anyone, raped anyone. I’m totally straight. Still… I torment myself with guilt from the past. I work as a Personal Financial Services Rep. at some bank. I have it engraved on my business card. See that? Personal. What a joke! My clients absolutely love me. Is it the banker’s mask that I wear that makes small talk easy for me then? How about right here? Has the Raven taken hold? If I was able to clone myself, would I do it? If you could would you clone yourself? Funny… sometimes I even bore myself. I prefer sitting still and watch others make mistakes. Am I so in love with myself that I find relief in talking to myself through a blog page? Adios you egoistic maniac. I will see you later.
Lately I’ve been considering changing my blog page template; add a brighter complexion perhaps. But then again, I took one look at the page and realized. To me, this is perfection.
WE want the dirt.
We want human.
Define human.
Naaah… too boring.
I dunno why. I just don’t.
But I don’t say it to your face.
I’m too fucking nice.
The word myself was used five times in this post. The letter I started 16 sentences.
u just described a lot of bloggers (i won't say 'all' so that i wouldn't generalize)
i for one (ahoh el ego hayeshtaghal), like talking to myself.. on my blog, in the mirror and sometimes in my head :)
and as blogging goes, each one reveals a part that they don't share with ppl in their real lives... this is why it's so popular now i guess...
like that post a lot, and just love the "myself" and "I" count :)

Insomniac, ever do the interview gig? It is by far most prestigious method of talking to oneself I think.
Jade, even though I may give the suicidal impression I assure you that I am actually having fun. Yup.. THIS is fun to me. :P
Thank you. :)
lonely twin.. your name says it all. lol Welcome to my world. ;)
Cheers..
