Gentlemen, let's not get caught up in the belief that every post has to be profound and reflective. This is our blog, and we don't have to write the way other people write or discuss the same subject matter. Why do we choose to write in a blog? We do so to share what we have to write with an audience anonymous by nature and of incalculable size. We can either write based on what they want to read or we can express ourselves as we choose. Now, what does our audience want to read? Xanga entries, commenting on the minute details and experiences of our lives? Stories, displaying skillful writing and imaginative minds? It is impossible to know for sure. Then, how can we express ourselves? Do we write contemplative meditations on the state of our lives? Do we write nonsensical stream of consciousness pieces misread as profound? Do we just fuck around? Do we write metacognitive posts on posts? I don't have an answer personally. I'm not sure if these things are completely for the writers or completely for the readers. In all likelihood it's neither, but rather the mean of these two. Perhaps such things are not meant to be considered so seriously; this is after all, just one blog among what are probably thousands of others. I am only a small voice in a great mob, wondering what to say.
