I wish people could write stupidity that pure.

Is there a worse song meant to be taken seriously than Nickelback's "Photograph?"

Tell me.

Question:

Do all video blogs suck or can there be exceptions? I think 100% of them I've seen are either ironically amazing or they just outright suck. Are all video bloggers dickbutts or have I missed a couple that don't totally eat it?

I'm curious for a few reasons. Also, should I ask more redundant questions in my entries?

Thanks!

One more thing, I think I might create another blog used solely for videogame shite.

Edit: That was quick.

Learning to Embrace the Self-Indulgent

Our friend Jordan recently wrote that it's writing about the big events in life that comes off as silly (in so many words). There's nothing to say that hasn't been said or felt or experienced. It's hard to disagree with this assessment of blogging in general.

I'm tempted to concoct some grand entry about the wedding, and I may, but for now suffice it to say that things are more or less business as usual. I couldn't be more pleased with that fact.

Well, maybe that's not totally true. Things aren't business as usual, since the "as usual" part of the equation hadn't involved a curious kitten named Stella until now. Aside from this little fountain of happiness, things are definitely business as usual.

There are probably many things to say and many people to thank for the wedding. I hope I can show everyone my gratitude someday.

There are things to say about my state of mind in terms of employment, I suppose. I've yet to land a job, a (lack of) development that scares the shit out of me. When I spoke to my dad, he seemed to think I should take some time to try to finish and sell my scripts.

It all just sounds so funny to me -- foregoing employment opportunities to chase this incredible pipe dream. I suppose it's better to chase the dreams when you're young, right? I don't know. I can't wrap my mind around the idea of sitting here for months and refining these works to be scrutinized by God knows who.

I can't shake this feeling that I'm not cut out to be a 9-5 kind of guy. Maybe I need to find out that I'm not the script-writing kind of guy. Anyhow, I'm feeling this wave of creativity stemming from the wedding (presumably) and all of its finality and simultaneous sense of "everything is just beginning."

I have, in my mind's eye, this project, this overwhelming, overarching project, that will challenge me and make me mad with nostalgia. I have the perfect beginning and ending, and I want to share it with everyone.

Maybe that will be the way I can show everyone my gratitude for the years of love and support. Self-indulgent and selfless at the very same time.
