:: Oh god, not another self-referential posting... ::

Saturday, November 30, 2002

Someone last night pointed out that there's really no reason to have a blog unless you want people to read it, which implies that the author believes that 1) the material posted to said blog is worthy of reading in and of itself and/or 2) the author is in possession of a sufficient level of irresistibly glib charismatic magnetism such that simply having met him or her will inspire a lifetime of devoted viewing.

Either of these assertions is somewhat arrogant, and it has sparked a sort of existential blog dilemma: what is the telos of this rambling random rant that bears my name? I'm not recording a travel log, reporting news from the far reaches of the globe, or providing enlightening political insight. Nor am I in a position to receive privileged information which I feel must be disseminated to the masses.

So do my humble musings fall into the aforementioned narcissistic categories and exist solely for the purpose of self-aggrandizement? Hopefully I've tempered this temptation with enough self-effacing entries (see: elementary school pics) to ward off the demons of egocentrism, but I must humbly ask you, loyal reader, to remain ever-vigilant of this scourge, lest I vitiate your desire to return again and again (which I'm not even sure exists in the first place).

(and yes, I realize that it's pretty self-involved to both acknowledge all this and to dedicate an entire entry to discussing it)
