Attempts at Wisdom for the Perpetually Confused

thanks viv!

I guess it’s time…

…to start a Tumblr!

First of all, I want to say that I’m not under any delusions that people are actually reading this.  But if you are reading this, hey.  This is mainly for myself, so I don’t go completely insane over the next days/weeks/months of my life.  I have found that I have a multitude of incredibly poignant (a.k.a. stupid) thoughts and there is not enough space in my brain to store them all, so I end up saying them out loud, and then I realize that no one around me shares my thoughts or finds them at all smart/interesting/sensical, and that makes me sad so I’d rather just write them down like this.

I’m not sure how Tumblr works.  Just FYI.  Like, am I expected to divulge my identity on here?  Because I think that’s a terrible idea. Mostly because starting a blog will undoubtedly be the worst decision I’ll ever make, and when I make this realization someday in the near and/or distant future, I probably won’t want to have my name plastered all over it.  Also, I’m still kind of scared of the Internet, probably because I’ve seen one too many episodes of Law & Order: SVU in which the cute, sassy blogger (blogger? is that what I am?) gets assaulted by the obligatory middle-aged balding man who vaguely resembles Christopher Walken.  So, yeah, the Internet kind of freaks me out (see: “worst decision I’ll ever make”).  But I’ll throw caution to the wind, just this once.

You may have noticed my “avatar” as they call it on Tumblr.  It is a picture of a cat, and I have named him Dan the Cat.  I chose Dan the Cat to be my Tumblr cohort because he is wearing a suit, so he seems like he really has his shit together way more than I do, and I think he can help me out in writing this blog.  Hey, now that I think about it, all comments (which are probably nonexistent, but still) can be directed towards Dan the Cat because this whole blog is his fault anyway.

The greatest thing about starting a Tumblr today is that today happens to be April 1st. So, if this is a huge waste of my time I can always just write it off as an April Fool’s joke and forget this ever happened.  Although I guess it’ll always be on the Internet somewhere. Damn.

Whatever.
