Once upon a time, I would have liked nothing better in the world than to make a job out of blogging. To stay at home, and take all obnoxious people you meet, and turn them into characters that made people laugh, what could be better?
Well, somewhere along the way, I became a professional blogger. Meaning, I got to stay at home all the time. And at first, it was pretty kick ass. No morning commute. No getting ready. No worrying about that annoying coworker you don’t like.
However, without those things, you lose just what it takes to be an interesting blogger. I mean, with nowhere to go, no one to talk to, what does one write about? Hi Internet; today I put on pants. Or how about Hey Internet, you would not believe this hottie at work. He’s white–and no I’m not racist!– and fuzzy, and he weighs about four pounds. And when he says “Arf!” it’s like he’s speaking directly into my soul.
Even the people you DO come across while blogging, it’s not like you can really talk about them or poke fun at them in a blog. I mean, they live in your computer. It’s what they do.
So, my personal blog has really suffered without the rednecks and Southern Baptists and pretentious artsy people who used to cross my path every day. Even so, here is my dot com. Finally. I’ll just have to try harder at maintaining. After all, I’m going to Harvard on the Highway, aka redneck school in January; surely there will be an interesting character or two there, right?
