Blog, Sweet Blog

OMG, you guys…I can’t turn off my mind faucet.  I was thinking about the angry, mini-manifesto-in-progress I put up here yesterday.  Again, I’m sure this is a real audience-grabber, but I need to work this out.

So, I might have changed my mind about some of the things I said yesterday.  Shut up, I’m a woman, we can do that. I like reading personal blogs because I like to experience what’s it’s like to be inside another person, so to speak.  In other words, I like people’s stories and the way they narrate the story of their lives through blogs.  The ones I really like have a good mix of happy things, sad things, characters, some plot development, a little conflict, romance, whathaveyou, and they’re able to weave it into an ongoing narrative.  For me, the joy of a good blog is that the heroine/hero is discovering the plot and characters almost accidentally.  It’s like life but with all the less interesting (hopefully) parts removed.

What in the name of Odin’s wooly beard does this have to do with my blog?  Well…I guess I’m trying to say, I don’t know how to package an everything kind of blog that is both compelling and rich.  So, maybe I should stick to one thing or break this up into two blogs.  What do you all think?  Should I just tell the Trans-girl in the City story here and move all of the failed scripts and pictures of art I found on the web to another site?  I could still put up pictures of art, but it would have to be something I experienced in person or made myself.  Ditto for music…it would have to have some personal relevance.

Ugh, I’m so confused.  What say you, big brains?

I feel bad for making you wade through a hopelessly dry discussion of blog theory, so here’s some art…
