Blogging is cool

I was in church today, and I started thinking about the state of my life as of now. It wasn't that harrowing of a thought, but I just decided that it would be nice to write down some of the things that I go through or experience just so that I don't feel like I'm a ghost floating through the world. At least through this, I'm sort of trying to make some meaning out of life.

It's also not to generate hundreds of comments, referring to my previous livejournal/xanga where I am pretty much a comment whore. It's semi-private since I won't be telling people that I write in this, but I'm not deluding myself to the fact that this is also completely public as it is on the internet. I'm actually also thinking about deleting my livejournal/xanga accounts; I probably won't just for, uh, logistical purposes, but I'll just delete the bookmarks from my browser toolbar. Smile.

I don't know who I'm writing to, it's partly to me, maybe to God, and if you happen to read this I hope that it is pleasing to you. Btdubs, (as coined by roommate Steph), the title of the blog is a lyric from an Of Montreal song called "Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games." The chorus goes, "Let's pretend we don't exist. Let's pretend we're in Antartica." It's sort of sad, sort of innocent, make-believe fun, and the kind of music I tend to be drawn to. It was also remade in an Outback Steakhouse commercial, but the words were changed to something like, "Let's go Outback tonight! Like we'll still be there tomorrow..." In my mind, this happens to make the band amazing because of their willingness to reduce their fine artistry to absurd steak lyrics for fun and/or money. Hooray.
