Blog philosophy

I get bored during the workday, and so notions pile up in my head that need some kind of outlet. Since graduation, I don't have friends to unburden myself onto, so I'm trying this out. Pretty standard reason for a blog - not having friends.

I came up with the title by taking it from an album that has really grown on me. I relate to the phrase "Strange Geometry" in a way that feels like a shared secret between me and the artist, which might make it personal enough for me to steal for my blog. I tried to come up with an original name, but it was just going nowhere. I can't even think of a name for my band that doesn't exist, and I've been trying for 4 years. Does that make me unimaginative? In my defense, the name Radiohead is from a Talking Heads lyric.

I don't know how much it would bother me if no one read this blog. I would certainly like comments and attention from friends and all that jazz, but just making my posts seems to serve my purposes. A blog that no one reads will be a nice companion to my radio show that no one listens to.

If you want to know what music I like and what I'm listening to (even at this very second), you can go to my facebook page. You know where that is, because that's how where you came from to get to this blog.

The last thing I want to mention is that I will try to suppress the urge to be a comedian. It doesn't work for me on the radio, and it doesn't work for me in print, either. The only way I can listen to or read whatever I say is if it's almost devoid of personality, oddly enough, which may make me boring, but it's the only way I can avoid hating the things I do. I feel like I've forced myself into stressful positions when I feel like I need to be clever or insightful at some moment or another. I've decided to have faith that I am naturally interesting without trying. Let the experiment begin!
