A mind is a terrible thing to have. Mine, like most people's, is occupied with lots of stuff it shouldn't be and I've tried many things to ameliorate this condition.
Recently, I've been obsessed with the idea that observations kept to oneself are the genesis of madness. It's clutter, and if it isn't externalized, your mind just runs over and over and over it and it ends up warping your idea of the world. I've had this urge to put everything, right or wrong, out into the world, and keep my head clear.
My unfortunate friends and coworkers (as well as an elite, secret (and traditional?) messageboard*) have thus been bombarded with every fifth observation that I happen to have.
That's not fair. So I'll put it all here, and people can look at it when they feel like it. I'll be able to toss everything out of my mind and no one will have to unwillingly deal with it.
Any experienced bloggers should offer advice. I don't really read them and have never written one. (okay, I had a livejournal freshman year of college for a couple of months).
*nb: some of this stuff will be reposts of stuff from that messageboard, but only the good(?) stuff.
**be sure to notice peaks of blog posts. this signifies that a deadline for realworld work is approaching.
