This blog was born at the intersection of several important concepts. Firstly, I have learned from experience that externalizing something, be it writing in a journal or confiding in a friend, can be very useful in making sense of your own emotions and concepts. It's like being able to see your thoughts as a third party observer, because they are no longer solely in your own brain, taking up space, too close for "objective" observation and analysis.
Next, I have become fascinated by the phenomenon that is Internet anonymity. I went on a date on Omegle (perhaps I'll post it), and it felt wonderful to be able to that open with someone, despite the fact that I knew I would never see her again. I realize of course, that my hot asian date may very well have been a fat, greasy 60-yr old divorcee in Arkansas, but in my mind, she was beautiful (again, I think I will post my date if I can find it somewhere in my laptop's deepest dungeons).\
The final concept that caused me to make an anonymous blog to document my thoughts is the absolute ease with which I am able to view it and update it. WiFi is everywhere, even here at home. That's not even considering the fact that on my university's campus, there is ridiculously speedy WiFi EVERYWHERE!!
Sooooo... this is my blog.
