So I have not been filled with pangs of regret or self-loathing over my new blog. Partly because I'm still too tired to care, and partly because nobody's read it. I'd solicit for tips on getting more readers, but since I have no readers, I don't think that'd do much good. And I can hardly picture myself emailing people to advertise what's written here.
I am glad that I didn't delete this first thing in the morning, mostly because it's a pain in the ass to set up. I'm not talking about the technical side; if anything, we've lowered the bar too far in that department and any mouth-breather can broadcast their innermost thoughts to the world (there I go with that snob thing again. Must really try and rein that in). I'm referring instead to the naming of the blog and the whole creation of an online persona that goes with it. I spent at least 30 minutes staring blankly at the screen trying to come up with a name for the blog, as well as myself. I think it's highly important to identify myself with sufficiently hip/edgy/non-cliche cultural references so that my purely hypothetical readers will respect me. I've never blogged before, but I'm under the impression that one doesn't wander online with a blog called "jtimberlake_lover420" and walk away with the admiration of the highbrow crowd.
