nothing new under the sun

I have officially entered the blogosphere. My resistance held up for so long because I insisted that I did not want to be “one of those people.” You know the type: living their lives online, crying about their problems for the world to hear or sharing every insignificant detail of their life: “Yesterday I went to the store and got a milkshake. It was awesome.” I live my life for the sole purpose of not becoming a cliché. How can I provide a unique take on my experiences without falling victim to bowels of the internet? You can’t. As the poet Nascir Jones once said, “There’s nothing new under the sun.” People often fail to realize that their very personal, very private once-in-a-lifetime experience has been relived several times but many people in that exact same way. Soon we will all become the cliché to the cliché- the living embodiment of that which we disdain. Perhaps there are no new experiences but only new perspectives on those experiences. Perhaps that’s all conjecture too.


Ill try to post relevant information and share experiences that mean something to someone, but mostly just to me. More than anything, I promise never to talk about an awesome milkshake.
