This entry is really only here to substantiate my need to make an entry, as I've not made one in a few days and it begins to bother me slightly. Another small annoying neurosis that manifests itself as a slightly amusing quirk... Regardless, I intend to keep this one kinda short. It's 3 am, and I actually find myself being somewhat tired at such a rare and early hour (for me, anyways), so I'll not devote too much time to this...
Apparently, it's come to my attention that, from amongst some of my still dismally small but growing population of readers, some of you actually enjoy my ramblings. A few of you enought that a suggestion has been made that I perhaps start branching my writing off from the annecdotal into the creative...
I'm sure what this really means is; "Hey buddy, we really like the way you write, but no one wants to hear about your retarded bullshit. Try writing poetry instead.". A compliment is a compliment, I suppose...
With the suggesions and encouragement, I have decided to actually give it a shot. I've not written creatively in quite some time, though, to be honest, I really hadn't written in quite some time period, prior to this blog. I've decided that I'm going to try my hand at a few shorts stories, which I will create and link a second blog for that specific purpose. Understand, however, that I am anally critical of my own creative writing, so much to the point that I will work myself into fits of utter despair at the complete and utter garbage I believe myself to be producing. Babbling on and on about my bitterness and misgiving with life whilst making it sound charming and slightly comedic? Fucking easy. But trying to conceive something that actually has a fucking structure and plot? Pant-shittingly frightening... So needless to say, I wouldn't expect anything creative coming from me as frequent as these particular type of entries. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to make sure it's done well.
Before I finish this off, random thought of the evening... I really fucking hate referring to what I do here as "writing", as I'm not actually writing anything. It actually bothers me on a very small level. On the other hand, referring to this as what it actually is... "typing"... seems really pretentious and contrived. And calling it "blogging" just makes me sound like a really big fucking nerd...
Anyone have a suggest as to what I should label my literary excretia so I don't keep feeling like a douche bag?

Don't ask me how I wound up here, I waste alot of time on the net & end up reading alot of shit. That far from makes me an expert because I'm sure you have more active followers than myself, but I can tell you I'm an avid reader and what you do is engaging. You dont think of yourself as a writer but despite this blog not having tons of "buzz" honestly, It reads better than a few published authors I've read. Not to say your Hemmingway but if you really take a look at some of these published guys...I mean, Spencer Pratt has a published book out for crissakes. This is turning into a rant so let me make the point I set out to. You can write and your pretty good at it, so write about whatever you'd like however you'd like as long as you keep at it. You don't have to be a writer to write as I'm sure you know. You don't even have to be a writer to write well, so carry on, get what you need out of the process and take things from there.
