Excerpt from "Me as a 12-Year-Old Trying to be Deep*"
(*not actual title)

"So this is it. This is the place, the time, that you’ve been craving. This is where you’ve come to escape your world. Are you hoping to enter mine? Do not enter seeking to criticize for it does no good. Cross the threshold into my humanity with open mind to the weary traveler with no reason."

Yeah. I've grown out of that.

But it's somehow strangely appropriate for how I feel about my first BLOG entry Ever. I just think it's interesting that people are becoming more and more interested in finding "realness;" I'd say "reality" but that seems more like a state of mind. I mean "realness" in that it seems as if people are moving away from seeing and being personas and towards wanting to see what goes on underneath other peoples' skins... they want to know if the things others feel beneath the surface as if to validate their own realness. Wow, this is already getting way to esoteric and confusing as hell. Anyway, I guess the point is that I, myself, fit into this category. I find I, too, want to know what goes on in other people's heads and have people comment on what goes on in mine; I've always wondered if my thoughts were absolutely genius or entirely stupid... I have a sneaking suspicion they're not really either. But in this day and age of looking for realness and normalcy, perhaps that will make me a star.
