you're unique, just like everyone else

I was sitting around thinking today. Thinking that I needed to start blogging.
(The irony being that I already have a blog and I already had started blogging awhile back)

Blogging. It sounds so silly. But I kept on and realized that even if no one subscribed to it or even read it, I still wanted this blog. I wanted it to be a damn good one too. I read Cameron's blog and I envy her posts. They're focused, interesting, and very funny.

So, those are my criteria for this new blog. It must be focused, interesting, and funny (I think that's too much pressure for one human being to handle). I kept my posts from years past because I felt they met at least two of the above criteria (you can choose which two.)

But seriously, what should I write about? I wouldn't mind becoming famous for writing the only blog dedicated to (insert obscure band/artist/cheese/mushroom here), but let's be honest people: I'm way too intrigued by too many things to focus my interests in any way shape or form.

I made a mental list of what I might like to cover in this blog with a face-lift, all things I love:

-all things Francophile (music, books, kitsch, food)
-Opera and classical music
-Food (reading about it, eating it, cooking it, looking at it)
-Obscure historical events and people (Did you know that John Winthrop was an asshole?)
-TV shows I deem hilarious (30 Rock. Done.)
-Weird animals (I'll save these for later)

There will be no talk of cars or sports here. None.
So here's to writing a blog about things that move, inspire, thrill, and chill me.

Hooray for the narcissism of blogging!
