Reinvention

During the day, I'll have these flashes of brilliance, and I'll think about how I need to write about this or that. And then I come home and eat and chill and such. Watch some Hulu. Chat with friends or family. You know...the usual.

And I forget. All those flashes of brilliance are gone, and I'm sitting here with writer's block, wondering what to do, what to do. But here are a few topics I considered for a brief mo. (See if you can guess the reference for "mo"...super big brownie points if you get it!)

I wonder if I should opine on BYU's decision to suspend that Davies kid from the basketball team. I've discussed it and heard about it enough, and besides I don't want this blog to get so serious. (Cough, I agree with the decision BYU made, cough.)

I've thought about politics...and I don't want to write about that either. Also too serious and too argue-ie. Politics schmolotics. I don't want this place to be that sort of place.

Actually, many of the things I've thought about writing are controversial and thus would produce the kind of blog I'm hoping to avoid. I want this to be a happy place. Not a place where people leave angry comments and fight back and forth over the merits of an honor code or the global financial crisis (I'd rather leave that stuff to the experts...like Colbert and Stewart).

This is what I do know. As a blogger, I can be anyone. You see, in my real life, arguing (or discussing vehemently, take your pick) is a norm. I'll think to myself, when did I become the girl who will argue over everything? Since always, according to the fam (and if I'm being honest, the fam may have a point). But maybe I don't want to be that girl. Or maybe I want a place where I can talk about funny things that happen as I'm out and about living my life. Maybe sometimes I want to be silly and talk about my faves and my angst and other non-universe altering, non-controversial topics.

In fact, in some ways, that is what this is...a reinvention of sorts. I like that - my blog...me...reinvented.

Look at me...talking like people are reading this. I haven't even told a soul. HA!
