My Funny Valentines
Happy Valentine's Day to the nice people who check in here. My last few posts have been a bit raw and slightly head-scratching maybe, I don't know why I mention it, maybe to make sure anyone reading this knows I know that they are. Blogging - this kind of blogging - where it feels like a semi-private affair in some ways, and there's a very small "audience" is just weird sometimes, I guess. I mean, because your ego is involved - it has to be - expressing yourself in any manner is impossible without it, in it's truest definition - but still you're putting this mostly sorta boring day-to-day crap out there about yourself that in the end makes not a speck's worth of difference to the world at large, and is noticed by just a handful.
Still, I check in on a number of blogs where the blogger isn't out there saving the world or having a crisis-a-minute or making savvy political commentary etc.
I just think people with "normal" lives are interesting. Aside from that, appearances can be very deceptive. I think of a geode, how they are so plain on the outside, but when you get to the center of them they are just stunning, intricate, amazing.
I like the idea of beauty hidden in plain sight and circumstances. Of finding it because you expect to.
Have a lovely Love Day.

nice post! i know how that feels, but glad people are out there reading anyway... who are these normal people?
and it looks like you have been spammed!
Thanks...I did put the word "normal" in quotes! :)
Yeah, the spam - lately I've been getting more of it. Annoying. It usually happens almost immediately after I post.
Anyway, have a good one!
Happy V-Day to you as well. I enjoy hearing your thoughts and I agree with you about the weirdness of having others a part of it. I've decided that it is positive in that you get another person's viewpoint on the workings of your head. But the negative (for me anyway) is this strange showing-off of my idiosyncrasies. Oh well, I was always a theater geek. I see it as a continuation of that :)
Hope you have a great one!
Yeah, it's just the nature of the beast I suppose, I mean getting suddenly self-conscious about something that is entirely out there in the publich domain. However I do tend to think of my blog as quite hidden/"private" - very few of my friends and none of my family know where it is, though a few of them know I have one - I always tell them it would be impossible for them to find it. Some have tried. Really hard. With no luck. Ha!
