Intense Professional Pressure

Ever since I started this blog on August 16th, 2006, I've received a lot of pressure to live up to my own awesomeness.

Really though, there's something about having a blog that's very paradoxical. When I was thinking about making a personal blog and while I was creating it, all I could think about was "holy shit yes, I can write whatever I want, whenever I want, and no one can stop me!" Then, after I had created the blog and published my introductory post (see below, I think), I thought, "fuck, now what?" Now that I have this forum in which to profess my ideas, I have realized that I don't actually have anything to say, per se.

Maybe I'm putting too much pressure on myself to write something profound. One could make the argument that it's because I (theoretically, but not really) have an audience for my thoughts, but even when I write thoughts down that no one will ever see, I still feel a lot of pressure to make it something worthwhile. I would hate to look in my gournal (or "journal," whatever, I guess I'm not all smart like you) only to find something like "Today, it was hot! I made sweat with my body, and felt the need to turn on the air conditioning in my household!" If I read that from a previous journal/blog entry of my own, I'd just think "man, what a waste of ink." I want to write something awesome! I want to say something and mean it! I want people to be shocked and amazed, concerning the extent of my literary sexiness!

I think, though, that this blog is going to turn into a vehicle for late-night drunken horse-shit, when I don't have any filter on my mind/fingers (AKA "typin' sticks"). So there will probably be a good amount of "teh's," plenty of "form" instead of "from," and maybe too much of "!!!!!!11's," and unironically so.

Speaking of ending a sentence in a preposition; I realize that it's incorrect to say "where are you from?" But it sounds so right. I usually don't support bad grammar, but guess what? Most other ways to ask someone where they are from sound stupid. "From where are you?" "Where do you live?," or... "Where do you live... at?" "Do not you wish your girlfriend was as hot as me? Do not you? Do not you? Do not you?"

Editor's note: instead of ending a sentence with a preposition, as in:

"Where are you from?"

What if you ended the sentence with a proposition, as in:

"Where are you from, and would you like to look inside of my pants?"

Just a thought.
