right now, i am just perusing blogger to look at various peoples blogs....

im rather concerned.

every other one seems to be in spanish first off, so how can i comment on what other people have to say!?!?

second off, the rest seem to be these "Leave It To Beaver" families where the parents are just reaching 30 and had their 3rd child 6 months ago. i now know how Juno felt! its terribly creepy and awkward to be reading about how you went on a camping trip with your kids...aptly named "aiden" and the such. you document the lame fish that your husband caught. you have dozens of gushy pictures of your kids and their toothless grins.  gag.me.with.a.spoon.  if THAT is what family life is like, i will happily stay single until the day i die. i once envisioned married life as quiet dinners, late night movies, and holding hands. now, my mind has been tainted with children, horrible adjective use, and bullshitty blogs about the trip to Monticello.

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my younger cousins, and my friends younger siblings, but the yuppies i have come across on here despise me. Life isn't perfect, so dont try to make it look that way! You dont need to write about how your trip to the smokies was perfect even though "Jackson" cried the entire way and "Miley" peed herself. Oh, and dont forget "Aiden"...he threw up all over the rental van. dont kid yourself. the trip was great, but dont cloud everyones eyes over with perfection; admit the faults, and miraculously, the trip seems a heck of alot better! not only do you actually sound human, but 15 years down the road, those things you covered up would actually be FUNNY!

Creating a blog is like creating a child. You can nurture it in a way you see fit, and let it grow how you lead it to. Sometimes it can be lost and forgotten, and other times it can be a great popularity. i have written many blogs before. myspace, facebook, xanga. some end up being popular, some dont. some end up with worthwhile stories or news articles. some end up with garbage. i am a fan of popularity, i must say. there is nothing like the thrill of someone reading and commenting on your latest piece of work.

as my first blog, i guess i will use this as a tool to explain who i am and what im doing here.

first and foremost, i am a college student. i am entering my first year. i will be away from family, away from familiarity, and away from understanding. i guess i am keeping this blog so that 4 years down the road i can see how i have changed. i will (hopefully) be pursuing a career as an english teacher, and want to practice my writing as much as i can. sometimes i write about the world. sometimes i write about my feelings. sometimes i write about how much i hate things. and sometimes i write about the things in the world that could only matter to someone such as me. either way, i hope that i provide worthwhile entertainment, albeit just for me or for the whole world.
