Where did this strange 'blog' phenomenon originate? Who in the world thought billions of potential readers would be interested in their daily journals? What's worse, they usually go something along the lines of "bitch/moan/bitch/moan", or "bragbragbraglistentomycoolday." Then there is my personal favorite, the old "let me take condescending cheap shots at others' lives and/or pop culture without revealing enough personal information to actually be judged myself." There's alot of those from the liberally educated youth these days. I like to think its a natural reality check once they graduate college and realize the real world is actually neither a campus, nor an MTV show (nor going to applaud their creative disenchantment, as professors might once have done, for that matter).
So. The first entry in one of these is supposed to be a big deal, right? Its supposed to set the tone and introduce yourself and your cultural niche. I'm blatantly ignoring that. I don't really have a justification for this website, creative, political, or otherwise. But I have always been very bad at keeping a journal and it seems like one of those things I should be able to do (Because, of course, my life is SO significant and I will really want to remember the exciting details of my twentysomething days in years to come). Plus, all my friends have blogs. Shameless, I know. But lets get this straight right now: I'm a style pirate. I have no mojo on my own. And thats why I need you, dear readers--knowing full well that if I'm lucky I will get about 3 hits this month, 2 by accident.
By the way, Bella/Bello is the Feminine/Masculine form of "beautiful" in Italian, which, as we both know, most things are in some odd way. I know, tugging at your heart strings already.
