Well, I have officially created my first blog. I half can't believe it. Now I don't know what to say.
I guess I will start by explaining why I created a blog in the first place, and why I can't believe that I did. I never thought I would create a blog because I never was interested in blogs. I always just thought of them as one of the billions of things that people can do on the internet. Why I created one is a little more complicated. I don't know if I can properly lay it out in words, but I think that it is partially due to my need to make sense of my life and the things that happen therein. I feel like a blog is a lot like a journal, except that everyone's allowed to read it without even asking permission. Kind of an interesting concept, I'd say.
I guess we'll see where this goes. This could be my first and last post, or I could keep going with this until I'm seventy. We'll see.
I wanted the site of my blog to be jacobkunz.blogspot.com. I think that jacobkunzler is too wordy. But due to a blogger by the name of Jacob Kunz, who decided somewhere back in 2005 to make one single blog post, that site is forever claimed. Go ahead, visit Jacob Kunz's blog briefly. You would probably be the second or third viewer, since I am pretty sure I was the first. Jacob Kunz, if you are reading this, I am sorry. I just really wanted that name for my blog site. I wonder, what if we could wage war and conquer internet territory by sheer force? What if I could claim jacobkunz.blogspot.com as my own? That's what people did in the past with physical territory, isn't it? I would consider physical territory much more valuable than virtual territory. I wonder if it's possible.
The reason why I named this blog "My Own Spontaneous Power of Will" is because I think that something I do is only of real worth when it is done by my own spontaneous power of will.
So, I suppose I am creating a blog, like most people do, to be heard. Though I do not plan on inviting anyone to "follow" this blog 1) because I wouldn't want to be a cause for someone to waste even more precious time sitting at a computer desk when they could be doing something so much more productive and 2) because I'm too shy. I would be lying if I said I didn't get utterly delighted if I found out someone was reading my posts. Maybe I will leave strategic hints as a trail of bread crumbs to lead people to this site, and hopefully they get hooked from reading a bit. I will have to come up with some very good first lines. That way, if someone does start to "follow" it will be due to their own spontaneous power of will, and I will be able to remain shy.
I should get going. I need to get ready for something. There's always something to get ready for, but at the same time always some reason to delay that getting-ready. But I've delayed enough; now I really should get ready.
