As you may have noticed, this blog has become a bit more...blue (or maybe you haven't, sorry if I offended any of my colorblind readers). Thought it would be a nice change from the dreary white on black color scheme that all my readers (yes, all 3 of you) have come to know and love. Well this blog is going through some changes, so get use to it BITCHES.......sorry.
So during my complete writer's mental block, I went through a couple of other people's blogs. Normally I wouldn't read through other people's personal updates of "Today, I went to the shops and I saw Jill. She is the biggest bitch ever!...but I loved her shoes", but I have stumbled across some that were personal and somewhat interesting too. It's surprising what other people can spill out of their minds into written form, especially when you know them in real life and think that not much must be happening in their heads. But saying that, I'm pretty communitively retarded in real life too, as opposed to the fluent, grammatically elegant author of this blog. Ok...that sounded gay. The point is, if you give a person a pen and enough time with their thoughts, they will surprise you.
My writer's block has disappeared because I now see blogging much differently now. My writing had always concentrated on being funny first, with any deep personal messages always being tucked away in the last paragraph behind some lines of humor. If I had something to say, but couldn't think of anything funny to correspond with the topic, I would usually discard the idea. No one wants to read anything boring, and I'd always thought personal equated to boring in terms of blog writing. And in most cases, that's true. Personal blogs can get so cheesy, but they can be real and interesting. Of course my humour (or lack thereof) isn't gonna disappear in my postings, but they won't be the only driving force of my writing. As long as it's interesting, people would keep reading. So that's the change that I'm going to undertake with my blog. Real and interesting, minus the cheese...just like a pizza for the lactose intolerant.
