In fact, I am so narcissistic that I am writing a blog about how narcissistic I am. While brushing my teeth this morning I got to thinking -- why do I blog? I don't blog about anything of any real importance. I don't blog about current events or topics that I ponder. No, I just talk about me; I talk about the random thoughts that pop into my head. And while I have no real expectations that people read it, I do somewhere in the back of my mind think people will. I used to complete surveys on myspace to pass the boredom.. they're really along the same lines. Who really cares what my favorite cereal is or what I'm currently wearing (only creepers are interested in that one..), or if I have ever kissed a boy whose name starts with R?
The thing is, I don't really think of myself as being overly important, I'm just an average joe. But, the very act of blogging about my rudimentary, mundane existence implies otherwise.
Perhaps in some way it is just so that I can get my thoughts on "paper," as if they have greater validity. But, really, couldn't I just use one of those old school paper journals for that?
