hello world.

Soo I’m sitting on the front porch with my bestie Grace listening to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, desperately trying to figure out how on earth do I possibly start this thing.

do i try to be funny?

promise free baked goods to my first 10 followers? (kind of serious about this one.. homemade oreos anyone?)

just jump right in?

For cereal, this is painful. I can’t settle down with an idea that sticks! Probably because there’s too much risk involved – sound like an idiot wannabe on opening night and its game. over.

It makes me wonder how the millions of other blogs got started. I wanted to look up some “first posts” on a few of my favorite ones but psych! you have to go through every. single. one. of their following posts just to get a glimpse at the beginnings. Which is actually kind of a comfort. Because if I by some miracle last long enough in the blogosphere, it will be a major struggle for people to find&read this exquisitely awkward first post of mine.

Anyways,

yes, I am adding my little experiment of a blog to the dauntingly vast expanse of the world wide web.

and no, I have z e r o idea about how to start. or even what I’m doing.

But even if no one reads this, I kind of don’t care (and by I kind of don’t care, I mean Ireallyreallycareandwouldlovemyblogtobedevotedlyfollowedbythemassessotellyourfriends). The point is, is that there are just tubs of lovely things in this world and I need to keep track of them. This little blog thing will serve as digital haven to fill with anything and everything I want.

And I want to share it with all of you - what I encounter, what I create, what I think, and what I crave – anything that triggers that intoxicating sense of wonder. I want to share it with you like I would share it with my best friends.

That’s what I love about this whole blog culture – people who lives miles or even oceans apart can connect on a level that only a shared appreciation of cool shit can bring.

My hope is that some kindred spirit (or thousands. so again, tell your friends…. kidding… kind of…) will stumble across my humble little blog and find something – an image to drag into their inspiration file folder on their desktop, a funny anecdote to tell their friends at dinner, the knockout dress that fulfills their wildest dreams, a recipe to woo their [future?] fiancé – you get the idea. 

[audible gulp]

So here it goes.
