So this is it, the first post. picking out a blog title and design is like adopting a new puppy, you do the research on the names and the colors and temperments and finally, you choose your one and only. i chose a theme that isnt pretentious like the scroll type ones that make people feel that their poetry that they post on the internet will be discovered and published all around the world because their wordpress template looked like aged paper. or the plain white and blue templates, those say to me “my words are too important to care what theyre housed in”. or the template i have so carefully chosen, this says to me “im trying to hard”. which, i wont lie, i am.
so now what? what do i say? i have this grand stand and a (what i like to pretend is) captive audience who is just running out the time clock at yet another miserable, probably dead end job in this economy dying to read something that will make their lives just a little less what they really are.
