Fun fact: this picture came up when I typed 'original' into Google images. Lenin and Trotsky are my homeboys
So here I am again, creating yet another blog with the hopes of writing something, somewhere on a somewhat consistent basis. I always seem to get delusions of grandeur, dreaming of having a highly influential blog with hundreds, if not thousands of followers. That sounds like a stretch because it is one: nobody really fucking cares.
The internet has raised the ground on the earth a couple of feet by giving everyone a soapbox. People become outspoken just to get their points across and eventually the bar is raised for how people attract attention. It's an endless cycle that I've admittedly been a part on more than a few counts.
No more though! I'm going into this blog with realistic expectations. By that, I mean I'm counting on no one reading this blog. I'm using this as a platform to help jog my memory when December comes and that inevitable, gushy feeling of nostalgia rears its ugly head once more and I try to remember what the hell I actually did in the past 12 months.
I once read on a 'how to make your blog BAMF' site that in order to attract an audience, some sort of theme should be chosen. Well as far as pretense goes, there is none. This blog isn't going to be about music, how to be a douche, or anything particularly thought provoking; it's going to be all those things and everything in between. If that sounds pretentious, it probably is.
The name of this blog is 'Forever Four In the Morning' and it has some significance: every time I get insomnia, four in the morning is the point of no return. It's the point where I start trying to take everything that's going on and put them into perspective. It's the point where things seem pretty black and white and the day to day rush is just a fleeting dream. It's the point where I know I'm going to be f*cking tired in the day ahead.
Well, there we go: the first post! This is probably going to be the most serious post on here for a while. Prepare for lots of shifts in tone! :O
Sidenote: the silhouetted birds are there because silhouetted birds instantly make anything more artsy and interesting.
