Bloggerview

I always thought I'd be a great interview. I mean, I'd see interviews with John Lennon, or Joe Strummer, and they'd be so cool, tossing out cool lines about things they were asked about. About anything, too. But of course when you're not famous, or successful at anything, or particularly interesting or insightful even, nobody really gives a shit what your thoughts are about anything. So nobody is going to interview you, and film it, and be like "look at this!!!" to other people.

But it occurs to me that having a blog is one looooong interview, except the blogger asks AND answers the questions himself. Unlike a "real" interview, where the only reason someone is being interviewed in the first place is because people are interested in hearing what he/she has to say, a blogger "interviews" him/herself and then puts it out there and hopes that some random person out there is interested in what he/she has to say.  "What does Xmastime think about bears?" "Well, Xmastime, bears are...." As much as a blog like this can just be a seemingly endless series of random dumb shit, it really can sometimes allow for a certain introspection/self-realization. Instead of opening up to someone else, you're opening up to yourself. And hoping hot chicks find it sexy and send in sexy pictures of themselves, of course. Like this one:
