Welcome to my blog!

I’ve tried to keep a blog many times before and it never works out.  I know this is a common thing that happens to lots of people – but I don’t lose interest or run out of things to write about like other attempted bloggers do.

My problem with blogs is different.

In fact, I know exactly where I go wrong and I still can’t get a handle on it.  Its retarded.

Here’s the deal:

Years ago, when you created a blog, you chose how you wanted your blog to look by glancing through a set of templates and picking one.  These days, all the major blogging platforms pretty much give the user 100% control over how it will look – and I’m not just talking about the basic layout and font colors – I’m talking about uploading your own banners, choosing the line height of your text and customizing the thickness of the borders that will go around your images should you chose to include images in your future posts.

Now, this amount of power given to you may sound like its a good thing, and I’m sure it is for many people.  However, if you’re an artsy person who’s as interested obsessed with aesthetics as I am, having complete control over a nearly-infinate amount of adjustments like this can actually kill you.  And, if you’re one of the lucky ones who do not spontaneously combust at the sheer realization of all the customizing that can be done, you’re still not off the hook because you’ll end up losing your fucking mind trying to make your blog look perfect.
