Good People of the Internet,
thank you for welcoming me into the ranks of self-important emotional and intellectual exhibitionists. I - who was the last to learn about blogging and the first to declare it a completely ridiculous and pointless activity - am now one of you.
This does not mean I have changed my mind. Blogging, especially when practised by me, is still a ridiculous activity. However, it may not be entirely pointless.
It appears that people have taken to blogging when they want things - attention, advise, a captive audience, sponsorships and all sorts of great things which are hard to come by in the physical world - and they are not entirely unsuccessful. They get, if not exactly what they asked for, at least something vaguely resembling their original target. Sometimes they even get something better, something so fantastic they could not even conceive of it.
Opportunistic abomination that I am, I have decided - after a fair bit of back and forth and 'oh no, I could not possibly...' - to jump on the shiny, super-charged bandwagon that is the world of blogging.
Because I too want something. I want it so much I am willing to make a complete ass of myself in the process of getting it. (This seems to be a recurring theme: having to look extremely foolish in order to arrive at the heights of cool... that can't be right, can it?)
My ambition, my burning desire, my idea of a seriously fun afternoon activity - and thus the ultimate aim of this betrayal of my principles - is this:
I want to drive the reasonably priced car. [According to my work buddy, the image above is an accurate depiction of said car, I am unconvinced but too much of a technophobe to find my own]
And as soon as I have worked out how to make my blog look cool - it has to reflect me after all.... (yes, because this set up allows for visual options which really represent the individual character of any one user [Gee - Green! That is soooo me!]) - as soon as that is done, I shall explain.
Ashamedly yours,
Me
