blogging is for narcissists

So, how does this work exactly?
According to what I’ve learned from watching Julie and Julia, bloggers have a mission; a goal of sorts. Now, mind you I never read the aforementioned “Julie’s” blog of soufflés and struggle of simmering, but in a restless redbox moment a few weeks ago, I found myself debating between this particular flick and Toy Story 3. All jokes aside, I really did want to stare mindlessly at the blindingly bright screen and imagine for a second that I could make it to “infinity and beyond” if I really set my mind to it, but I could feel the anxiety building up in a line of anticipation behind me and while I contemplated taking the last copy available, I figured karma was a bitch and God would never forgive me for being spiteful to children; I chose the more adult-like cooking film, obviously.
But anyways, I hate to disappoint you, but unlike Julie, I have no intended goal for writing this; I won’t be charming you with my endless efforts to make the best beef stew. I’m just an aimless blogger, and when you’re finished with your overwhelming sighs of hatred at my making you read the past few sentences only to learn that nothing will ever come of it, I’ll let you in on the realization of my life, the epiphany of life itself: WE ARE ALL AIMLESS. Truth is, I don’t have a clue what will be worth bitching and moaning about day after day. Regardless, the fact is, whether anyone reads this or not, its therapeutic to write it, because I like the sound of my own voice, or in this case, the tapping of my thoughts being typed away on the bright white keys of the brand new Sony laptop I couldn’t afford but purchased anyway. Blogging appeals to my narcissism…not to mention my need to complain about the day...just tell me when its over…
