That title, took me 10 minutes to write up. Note how it follows the same rhythm as the original song? Pretty clever aye?
I thought I might share that information with you, so you don’t just read glance over it as you read this, my return to written form.
And that essentially is what this post is, my return to the old written blogs. This of course means you no longer have to look at my face. It also means I don’t have to spend time editing, I don’t have to worry about having more subscribers than Tim Quaife (which I totally do, btw)and I can act like a total tool without looking like one. which is good, cause I am a total tool.
But yeah, as a side note, do you have any idea how hard it was to NOT make this post all depressing? meaning I would talk about how blogging again is futile because its just another thing I would give up on.
What can I say? I guess angst just comes naturally to me.
I say this because every time I sit down to write one of these things the first thing that comes to mind is the question of "why? Why Sean are you writing a non journal-style blog to an audience of only your close friends? Why bother writing this at all when the few people who read this you could tell your opinions to in person?"
And that is the mood I am in right now. But I guess because I have told you this now, it’s given me time to think about it. Just why I do what I do. Why I bother posting this shit on the internet.
I guess it’s because some part of me is hopeful that my internet cadavers will take off. One day become popular, so I can feel as if I'm not doing all this for nothing.
It’s a farfetched dream, I know. But I need something to make me keep this up, rather than the hollow compliments of friends. Something I noticed while vlogging is that the people who like you will tell you what you've done is good when really you all know that its shit. And to be honest, I kind of wished they hadn’t. It would have meant that I would have given up on that sooner. That’s not to say I've given up on that now. I fully intend to return to MMV sometime in the near future. Hopefully without any gimmicks like "convlogs".
BUT ANYWAY! I need to stop being all angsty. SEE! I told you it just comes naturally. I really do try not to be, but I think its just my brains way of trying to seem clever. And that’s the mood I am in right now, so I might as well quit while slightly lagging behind. Hopefully the fantastic title made up for this mediocre post. Welcome to the new blog.
