OhMyBama

I am speechless.
Except not really, because I am here and writing and this and my mind is running at a mile a minute -
Okay. Slow down, and breathe.
We just elected the first black President of the United States – correction, the first Multicultural President of the United States.

 

A new beginning?

Talk about beginnings.

I’ve livejournaled, myspaced, facebooked, and been on just about every other social networking website known to man. It’s a wonder I’ve still retained my dignity; after all I’ve been exposing most anything and everything to the scrutiny of strangers since the tender age of 13. I obviously have not learned my lesson, since I’ve got a blog and am back for more.

This “blog” phenomenon has largely been lost on me until now. Myspace is not a blog. It’s more of a public bulletin board, except more obscene – last I checked no one decks out public bulletin boards with annoying looped song clips and pictures of their boobs blown up to 100x their actual size. At least, no one in my neighborhood does that. Not that I participated very much in that community – my presence on Myspace lasted about a week. Facebook has known me for longer, but only when I don’t feel lazy. But Livejournal? That was complete mindrape. No one writes better angst than a 13 year old. Trust me, I was one.

I do not aim to emulate any of those experiences with this blog. This will be an exercise to keep my fingers busy during the coming grueling weeks during which I undergo and recover from maxillofacial surgery on a grand scale. Oh alright, drama excuse. This is purely about me and my interests. Or keeping my interests interesting. Whatever. It’s fun.
