An opinion

Really, i should give up writing these blogs. This is my second one to date and i never cease to embarrass myself. The first one was immature sounding... and this one just whines. Or cries. The reason why we write blogs... and why we always keep changing them or starting new ones could be

1) out of pure boredom.
2) a blog feels good to one's narcissistic nature. It always feels good to know that other people are going to read your drivel, which leads to
3) a sense of self importance and also
4) a way to advertise characteristics of oneself... which leads back to 2) and also explains why i keep on starting new blogs because i really don't want people reading the crappier crap and then realise that i'm not as intelligent/Asian/mature/any other adjective you see fit as they thought

and i realise that i have nothing else constructive to say. apart from the fact that some claim that blogs allow the true nature of a person to show through because they're completely anonymous. this is bullshit.
really, who is going to be who they really are whilst writing a blog? of course you're going to play up some part of you to appeal to your readers. like right now, i'm sticking with the opinionated Asian tone because i want you to think of me that way. i could digress and talk about my love of House and how i want to shoe shop tomorrow, but i really don't want you to think that i'm just another clothes obsessed shopaholic with no skills except how to swipe my card properly on those irritating eftpos machines.
(i will digress here and mention that i always swipe my card with the strip facing the wrong way. is there a secret to knowing which way?)

i secretly envy how some people can sound
a) amusing
b) intelligent
in their blogs at the same time. alas, this is not for me. so, laugh a little. if not with me, than at me will also suffice.
