What to blog, oh what to blog?

so i just downloaded MacJournal. it was part of a software package i just bought. i figured it might be a pretty cool way to keep up a journal. i didn’t really intend on using it a lot. then i realized i kind of already have two blogs. this one, of course, and my other one that chronicles my spiritual journey. of course neither of them get much of my time.....but i’m working on that. and i really think this new program could help that.

i’m currently typing in “full screen” mode. it basically makes the text big and uses the entire screen, thus eliminating distractions. lately, my life has been FULL of those. this is just one of the few steps i’m taking to focus myself.

so why revive a blog that i haven’t posted on in two years? ummm.....because i still remember the password? isn’t that good enough? WHO ARE YOU TO QUESTION ME?!?!?! sorry. i got a little excited there. the short answer is expression. of course that’s also the most CRYPTIC answer, so i’ll elaborate. every once in a while i get something i call “creative block”. that may be an official thing, or not. i don’t care. it’s like writer’s block but for general creativity. i work in all different forms of media. i don’t actually tend to write much in my job. and while i’m glad i don’t have to create things from the ground up all by myself, i’m wondering if NOT writing is actually STUNTING my creativity. am i the best writer ever? no. do i think i can write scripts for the creative work i do better than anyone else in my office? no. but that certainly doesn’t mean i shouldn’t EVER write! so here it is. a place where my rambling can be expressed (see, there’s that word) and my writing can be practiced without mucking up a creative piece that SHOULD be written by a WRITER! and perhaps by practicing, i’ll get even better! will anybody read this mess? probably! it’s on blogspot, which is owned by google. the chances of the words i use popping up in a search engine are PRETTY good. especially since i’ll be sneaking in the words “naked”, “march madness”, “justin beiber”, “lady gaga”, and any other phrases that pop up on google trends to boost my popularity!!

....ok, maybe not. but it DOES kinda sound like a good idea. mostly i’ll just be telling funny anecdotes, ranting about crazy chicago people, or dreaming crazy ideas (so crazy, they just might work!). so hold on tight, planet earth, this ride is about to get...UNPREDICTABLE!!! which is why it’s just best to hold on. prepare for the worst, you know. yeah...you know.
