I've started blogs before, pointlessly. They help me vent for a minute about the people I won't actually face, say the things I wouldn't really say out loud because it's just inappropriate, and get feelings out of my mind, on to proverbial paper to look at and organize my thoughts. Sometimes I take my thoughts to my friends and bounce things off them, but many times it returns void and I end up running in circles confused about what actions to take. So here in cyberworld the blinking curser is my friend who listens without judging or trying to fix me. It just waits patiently for me to express myself and even lets me back up and erase things that I didn't want to say. The curser is almost as good of a friend as my dog, but the curser doesn't fall asleep or get distracted by dumb little things.
So, the purpose of this particular post is to tell you the purpose of the blog. The purpose of the blog is to challenge me to write at least once a week about my week, how I feel about things, what's going on around me, and just life in general. I think it will be cool to see progress over a month, a semester, 6 months, then maybe next year, I'll be just as bored over Christmas break as I am this year, and I can go back and read at least 52 of my own blog posts! (howboring...) When I think about what I was doing this time last year... I'm glad I've grown since then. I think I was at the tip of my iceberg of stupidity concerning my relations with people and when the tip finally broke off, I found myself looking absurdly wet and freezing, alone. So, I'm not sure how far I've moved in the other direction, but at least I've moved away from that point even if it's closer to the neutral - not incredibly dumb but not so impressively smart either.
Here, I could give a bulleted list of my "new year's resolutions" which I'd have to spend a few minutes thinking up, and wouldn't really keep because I never meant them in the first place. But, instead I'll just set a goal that this time next year, I'll read this and at least notice something different.
I always feel like I have to have a proper ending to a post. I usually just run out of things to say. Like now.
