How did a country boy like me become an economic consultant anyway? Why in the world did I trade acres of farmland for a basement in the city? Also, what is this ‘business casual’ you speak of, and can it involve a straw hat and overalls?
OK, I’m just kidding about the overalls (less so the straw hat). And just between you and me, I only grew up on a hobby farm. The blogosphere is full of people with stories that need to be told, perspectives that need to be heard, frustrations that need to be vented, whatever. I’m pretty sure that I’m not one of those people.
It’s not that my blog posts are lame. Well, some of them are, but I still like to think that I’m a little wittier than the average blogger. It’s that somehow, an upper-middle-class white kid decided to move to the city and blog about his experiences in his spare time.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
I’ve come to terms with my unoriginal perspective. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never be a celebrity blogger, I’ve even come to terms with the fact that I don’t always blog regularly. I don’t think that’s what I want. All I want is an excuse to play around, to write a few thoughts, share some pictures, maybe stroke my own ego. Is that so bad?
So sure, that puts me on a par with every poorly written, sophomoric Livejournal ever. At least I’m honest about it.
