Why Brian, Why?

I broke down. I am doing it. It is against my nature. Kinda. I’m sure. I hope. I am writing things for other people to read.

Does a blog have to be ego stroking? Is the idea that people would come to my site, above others, to read what I have to say an inherently egotistical action? Is that bad? I suppose it’s a matter of degrees. People who know me, which I can only assume, are the only audience of this, know I have often said rude and perhaps hurtful things about people who blog. Some of my good friends blog. How do I resolve this internal drama?

I accept the hypocrisy. I fear I am stricken with A.N.S.

I believe this was coined in Saul of the Mole Men on Adult Swim. A.N.S resolves to Arrogant Nerd Syndrome. It’s main, and from what I know, only symptom is a preemptive hating of those that could possibly say something nasty about me. IF they go down that route, I can safely laugh at whatever they have to say because, why, they BLOG. Those arrogant pricks. Oh yes I TOTALLY care about your grocery shopping, intelligence level of your spawn, your dislike of the Microsoft Zune. Tell me more about you! You who are the center of my universe.

A.N.S is a struggle. I live day to day with this, I hope to someday beat it. Thank you for reading my blabble.
