So my co-worker today said that my blog sounded like I was full of myself... like I believed that what I said was the most important thing in the world.

I wasn't really sure how to respond to this. At first, I reacted in defense, as I'm pretty sure nobody likes hearing that they are full of themselves. I've thought about it a bit...

A blog is a personal thing. It's an individual's voice on the internet -- a voice that other people can choose to listen to, or not listen to, depending on whether or not they believe that what the blogger is saying is important, humorous, or of any worth to them whatsoever. Ultimately, it is simply an outlet in which I am allowed to bitch, whine, write, report, etc.

Yes, I do hope that other people get something out of it. I hope that someone can read some of my ramblings and be like, "Yeah! I feel the same way and so maybe I'm not so alone in the world after all!", or "God, that was a really inspiring quote/lyric", or "God, I'm glad I saw that shitty ass opinion which clarifies my own feelings on the subject", etc. Of course I want that. If even one person can take something (positive or negative) from what I create, then as an artist, as a composer, as a person, I think I have done well.

Ultimately -- is that the point of this blog? No.

As everyone who is anybody knows...

... the point of this blog is to amuse and appease Beth.

DUUUUUUHHHhhhh!
