the snoozing cat

Today is the first blog post. I have no idea what the blog is going to be about or what I have to say, which I think sums up the current state of things quite well. Everyone has a blog right now. Even your grandma has a blog. Of course 98% of what I’m talking about comes in the form of facebook, instagram, and twitter. Despite their names and formats, they are all blogs. Blogs of all shapes and sizes and types. Some a little more tolerable than others. The one thing almost all of them have in common is the focus, which is essentially “me, me me.” Look at what I’m doing, or what I like. Listen to what I think on this particular subject even though I’m often heavily undereducated on it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this is a bad thing, (of course it’s not a great thing either). We like to talk about ourselves. It is part of our very nature to be selfish. Being selfish is a trait that probably aided in our ancestor’s very survival. Of course altruism was just as important. It used to be a balance. Be selfish enough to ensure the survival of my genes, yet altruistic enough to ensure my whole flock, group, pack, tribe doesn’t die off. Of course this kind of survival isn’t an issue today. We don’t need to worry about the survival of our species anymore. Instead we can now turn our focus to show people our desserts, vacations, and dick pics. Look how amazing, exotic, or huge my shit is!

Anyway, getting back to the subject of this blog, (or lack there-of), I suppose I’ll just have to see where it goes and what it might become. It might turn out to be a little bit of everything. I could end up writing a lot about nothing, (more likely the case). One thing I will try to do is keep the blog about stuff, (whatever that may be), and not about me. I don’t really give a shit about what you ate or how much you worked out today, unless you legitimately ate 200 hot dogs and crab-walked 100 miles, (more impressive if concurrently, I would seriously want to hear all about that). Of course like any blog I suppose it will be a lot about the world through my eyes. I suppose that means it will be pretty skeptical, (probably not the definition of “skeptic” you think), political at times, and just plain weird. I’ve been told on occasion I lean that way. It might also contain a dick pic or two, it depends on how lucky you are.

 I suppose that’s the first post. Pretty underwhelming and unfulfilling if that’s a word, (not according to tumblr). Maybe that’s the idea. On that note I’ll conclude this first post. Thanks for reading, passing judgement, whatever. Cheers.
