Tonight, I start a Live Journal.
I don't know why. Normally I mock Live Journal. Horribly. I mock the shallow, self-obsessed people who not only have to blather on to people they do know about their lives, but also feel the need to tell the world at large. I mock the awful poetry that taints the fine name of poetry. I mock a lot of things. That's just my game. Which some would say makes me just as shallow and self-obsessed, but whatever, I'm sure the stone-throwers would be just as quick to "diss" things they don't support.
Anyway, maybe that's part of why I'm here. I need an outlet to let off steam, and paper just doesn't cut it. I kept a diary once when I was real young, and it was just stupid. I'd have entries about how I got to X level in Y video game, or whatever. I have journals where I keep my creative writing and the like, and trust me, I'm not going to subject anyone to that unwillingly. With talent comes humility, which is evident in the fact that bad writers can't wait to get an opinion, and good ones are always exceedingly hesitant. I don't know that I'm hesitant, but I'm not jumping at the idea of sharing. Regardless, writing for myself is good, but writing for the world is "gooder". It will give me the feeling that maybe something I'm saying is striking a chord.
This being said, I'm not planning at this stage to add friends or anything. You all can add me and share me like the hott single of the day on Kazaa, but I will not add you back unless I feel your journal will help better one's understanding of mine. So it goes. So if you find this and decide its worth spreading, please do... intelligence can only be bred through exposure.
"But Tire," you say, "what the hell are you talking about?" It's fairly simple. There are things in the world that are absolutely ridiculous. Not like "dude, that movie was ridiculous" so much as a disgusting ridiculousness. Like a dog owner dressing his pet, but on a higher scale. Like George W. Bush, but on a lower scale. Not that either would be taboo, they're both stupid and both need to stop existing. Basically, there will be two types of entries... Flat_Tire, which would be pretty much a quick comment or a link or otherwise an entry that requires little on my part, and Inflated_Tire, which would be me on my soapbox delivering a heated tirade which may or may not make sense to you. To be fair, it might not make sense to me the next day. But it will keep me sane, and hopefully get the voice of reason out there.
So come find me, I dare you. Keep yourself aware of my progress, since this post doesn't tell you much. Keep others aware if you think they need to see this. Let the truth spread.
