Monday

corners and other right-angled objects

The worst thing for a blog is self consciousness. It makes a blog a chore to write and more often makes the content far worse. This is what has happened to me and my blog.

I'm not self conscious about other people reading it. That really doesn't bother me. But what happened was that I started re-reading my past blog posts. Over looking all the grammatical and spelling errors, the content just made me cringe. And when I would go to post something on my blog I would get that shivery, goosebump, cringey feeling that you get when you see someone doing something embarrassing, like when you used to watch Neighbours and Toadie is about to ask some girl, way out of his league, out on a date, and all you want to do is cringe and hide and change the channel but I can't change the channel because this is my life and the batteries in the remote are dead.

So what to do? Kill the blog? Examine why I find it so cringe-worthy? Write better? Hmmm...they all seem to drastic. I think I am just going to write stuff that is a little more closely related to my life rather than my brain (if that at all makes any sense). We will see. (Though ranting on soup and spelling errors will remain intact!)

Have you ever tried those 'Chunky' soups that they advertise as not really being like soup at all?

I like them a lot, they are like casseroles. You'd eat a casserole, right?

If a casserole is served in a bowl does it become a soup? Could you serve a chunky soup on a plate (perhaps surrounded by bread to absorb any runoff)?

"If a casserole is served in a bowl does it become a soup?" is that confucius?

Casseroles are delish and are not soups and can never become soups, otherwise they would be called soups.

I feel like you two are just baiting me - you know how worked up I can get over SOUP!!!!!
