see? artsy title. already off to a running start.
people who blog normally fit into one of these 3 categories: the intellectual college/highschool student, the indie-loving artist who stands for peace and trees and loves to eat granola, and then the stay-at-home-mom who has 7 beautiful children that she takes pictures of constantly and blogs recipes that she created from the cow growing in her backyard.
this post is why i shouldn't blog. here are my 8 reasons. please, hear me out.
1. bloggers are abstract and intellectual. i would like to think that i am intellectual and abstract, but why kid myself? i am lacking the fundamental needed to be an effective blogger.
2. there isn't an artsy bone in my body. the phrase "arts and crafts" makes me want to throw up a little in my mouth. i'd rather die than use that side of my brain.
3. i fail to notice the simple things in life. we are always inspired by the blogger who posts pictures taken by her $1500 camera of the random butterfly gracefully mounted on a beautiful rosebush....im the person who doesn't notice the butterfly until it is smashed on my windshield.
4. indie and boho style stresses me out. no, i don't know how to pair a belt and a skirt, and i also do not wish for dreadlocks. what is wrong with me?
5. i have no appreciation for indie or underground music. if it isn't good enough to make mainstream, then it isn't good enough to listen to. tim mcgraw and lynard skynard all the way.
6.i hate coffee. aren't bloggers supposed to sit at starbucks for hours on end, sipping their lite grande caramel mocha and pondering the injustices around them? i ponder best sitting on my front porch eating sunflower seeds and smoking cloves
7. my life is boring. i cant think of a way to dramatize my life enough to make it worthy of reading about. its boring.
8. there aren't any beautiful children surrounding me or cows growing in my backyard. nope, no kids or cow anywhere on the horizon.
bottom line....i am the anti-blogger. or at least, i want to think that i am. the truth is that those peace-loving, tree-hugging, granola-eating, cow-growing, injustice-pondering bloggers in the world posess a quality that i desperately wish i had......creativity.
here is my attempt at creativity.
