so as per tradition, here i am, popping yet another cherry in life, far too late in life. at least this time i had a good reason to wait. i've argued for a long time with many in my life about the pointlessness of the whole blog/live journal/friendsite thing as just an incredible waste of time and yet another in a long line of ways to keep us (more to the point - me) from doing what needs to be done in life (finish the novel, finish the graphic novel, finish the flash animation, even start the dreaded treadmill, whatever, pick your poison). yet here i am. narcissistically posting photos and writing about myself under the guise of i don't even know what (i mean really - i posted like 5 gazillion photos - i just love those ones with the pink wig - couldn't help myself).
but today i woke up with a new thought (yes, yes we can call it a rationalization if you'd prefer) it really is a great way to keep in touch with all my friends that are far too far away. and since the move to nyc that is all i have it seems - work and friends that are way too far away. also, i really do enjoy reading the blogs of those far away friends (kyle's especially) and i am throughly disappointed when they abrubtly stop (kyle that's you again). so maybe this is not just a narcisssistic exercise in talking about myself and posting tons of photos...maybe this is a good way for friends to check up on me and get to read a bit about what's going on way over here where i am (well that still sounds narcissistic - but less overtly so).
so the optimist in me decided to give it a try today. so tune in when you get a chance and i'll do my best to keep posting when i have something of value to say...which may not be often...so maybe i'll post even if i've got nothin'. guess we'll all find out together. those of you that are so missed know who you are, so stay tuned...maybe you'll make a cameo in an otherwise calculating exercise in narcissism.
- ps - i used some version of the word narcissicist in this blog 4 times - what the hell does that say?!
