There are a few blogs I read from time to time and I was just thinking about how those are different this site. There's one I visit just for the photos. Another has photos, reviews, humor as well as blogs. One of my favorites isn't particularly feature-rich but the blogger offers a fairly comprehensive look into their life. It sometimes goes far beyond a typical "what I did last weekend" post and deep into their thoughts and feelings and on occasion, can get unusually existential. Unusual in the sense that it seems like a lot of very personal and private stuff to be sending out on the Internet for anyone to read. At least it seems that way relative to what I feel comfortable sharing on my own blog, and I know I don’t have the temerity to share something that personal. If that’s one thing other blogs seems to have in common, is that the authors do, on occasion, open up considerably more than I do.

It seems in many ways though, my blog is a fair representation of me. Unremarkable upon first glance, kinda funny, frequently difficult to figure out, unable to really get to know unless you take the time to dig into it, and certainly not for everyone. If you haven't read it from the beginning, it's an eclectic collection of thoughts containing random thoughts, movie reviews, commentaries and rants on society and pop culture, to the standard "what I did last weekend." I've often considered writing about some of my struggles, maybe even articulating one of my many personal demons but... no. There was a time in my past where I would wear my heart on my sleeve and that does still hold true somewhat nowadays but my demons are... my demons.

I spent a couple of minutes looking at that last paragraph debating on whether or not to delete it, just because it’s quite a bit more than I’m used to sharing. I decided to keep it up, not entirely sure why but… what the hell.
