I do not edit these at all. I just type out what I wrote down, which also wasnt edited. This blog is not me showing you (who are you, anyway?) stuff I consider perfectly formed or whatever, its just raw material. I tend to use these later on to make more fully formed things (songs, for example), but this is me sharing my first impression, sketches, and feelings with anyone and everyone.

I really don't know what I'm doing, which is normal. What isn't normal is that I don't want to hide that fact. But hey i'm ok. What do you do when your mind selfishly screams LOVEMELOVEMELOVEMELOVEME? I'm really not that good at deserving that though, my social skills and stuff. It sounds horrible, but I feel like I would fall for the first girl to "get" me.
Wanted to write a letter
Didnt know to who
Tried to write it sooner
Before the thoughts have run out of my mind

Smart enough to be aware, but not nearly smart enough to affect.
More and more, its easy to Know. If knowing is half the battle, its the easy half. Facts, trends, ideas, opinions, all that stuff that people do in observing the world around them, or expressing thought. all those things are easier and easier to know now. And for me, its fun too! I LOVE going on wikipedia, or following the newspost links from the webcomics I read; just generally trying to find out what is "going on", what the invisible crowd of people who "Know" are up to. Thanks, Internet!
However, what does a person DO with that knowledge? Express their opinion that they derive from that knowledge. The frustrating part is that theres so much to know, what you finally express could possibly already be expressed by somebody.
You finally get through your IN box. Then, when you do put something in the OUT box, you find that what you put there is already in the IN box.
What do you do about that? Is TRUE originality a holy grail, a paralyzingly unattainable prize? I dunno. I'm just me. but me is ok.
