To my valued readers, who from now on shall be described by me as “people who should be doing something productive/looking for porn but somehow landed to this blog due to their unreliable browsers”, welcome to my blog. Now some of you may ask why I even bothered to make a blog because a blog is much like a diary that is open to the entire world to read; and by entire world, I mean those who can afford internet and have a couple of minutes to spare. Now many teenage girls will tell you that a diary is not something you share or leak for others to see. I learned that the hard way after getting my sister angry by reading her diary which subsequently led to her making several Xeroxes of my diary and passing them out at school. Middle school wasn’t already so fun with my voice cracking and it only got worse with my classmates giving me an extra hard time after they had learned of my irrational fear of troll dolls and emasculating weakness to tickling.
As I started out this blog, I knew my competition would be fierce because there are tons of blogs out there that offer so much to the readers such as a blog dedicated to Life at the intersection of culture, theology, and romance to a blog that is “All About Singapore Taxis”. Both don’t offer me any sort of useful information but blogs aren’t about self-indulgence; it’s all about giving to others. I’m sure people don’t write about how demeaning their jobs are because they just need an outlet. They know that there is someone out there who craves that certain information. So I had to think on how to attract people to my blog. I knew I had to offer something here that would cause some sort of “spark” within the reader. Sadly, my blog only serves as something for me to do when I’m not studying, eating, sleeping, socializing with people so I can someday torture them for favors, looking at the mirror while asking God why he gave me such high cheek bones, or doing something that would make my mother say “You’re a grown man. For the love of St. Peter, stop embarrassing me.”
So my blog may not seem as well-thought or entertaining as others. And as described by my 11th grade English teacher, I have a tendency to babble on and on without getting anywhere. I really want to fix that because no one wants to read something that’s very lengthy, only to reach the end and realize that it was an incessant babble about absolutely nothing.
