There are a few blogs a follow that are for the most part “personal” blogs. And I do this because… these people are kind of hilarious. I mean, they’re posts are really amusing and I look forward to reading them even though they are strangers (yeah, does that make me creepy?). And once done I think to myself “Man, I wish I could write like that.”
You’d think it would be easy. You’d think if you can make people laugh in real life then writing a personal blog that is actually funny should be no problem at all. The problem is, it IS a problem. Not sure why but I don’t think my writing is ever that funny.
Then the thought occurred to me that maybe they aren’t actually personal blogs. Maybe they are humor blogs. They are TRYING to be funny and not writing about real things that happen to them!
I am Jack’s sudden realization to Zero The Ghostdog that “they’re trying to hit us!”
Who is to say that amusing story did/didn’t actually happen? Who would know?
So maybe that’s what I will do. Telling stories is about making something ordinary into something fantastical, right? So is blogging then.
Suckerssss.
