Why I Hate the “About Me” Page on a Blog

What You DO and DO NOT Need to Know About Me

Let me start by saying “I am NOT an interesting person.”

Let’s just cut to the chase. Why pretend to be something we’re not. The internet it great like that, with everyone trying to create some sort of online identity that “defines” them as a person. We get it…

You are a unique snowflake… Just like everyone else…

Want to show the world how completely original you are? Sign up for MySpace, or Facebook, or Twitter just like the millions of other people who have profiles pasted all over those sites. Woo-hoo, Now you can show everyone what a free thinker you are.

Don’t get me wrong. Do I have a MySpace page?… Yes. Have I tweeted about irrelevant drivel?… Guilty.

But let’s face it, we have all done things we liked one moment and came to hate and loath the next. (Yes, whatever just popped into your head… that is my example.)

And now as I setup my Blog I am given the chance to define myself yet again with an “About Me” page. Well where do I begin?

Should I start by bragging about my eclectic tastes in music, and all the useless trivia I have memorized about my favorite bands? Should I list all the edgy cult films I collect regardless of what pieces of crap they are? Or do I simply tally up the number of friends I have collected on my Facebook page.

I have spent so much time crafting how unique I was when I was younger that I have simply run out of energy to be anyone interesting these days.

Let’s just say that this is my Blog… and it is what it is… (Don’t you hate that?)

As for me, I would like to think I am that part of your brain that dictates the inner monolog when you deal with stupid people each day. The comments may seem off the wall but they keep you grounded for some odd reason.

So welcome to my Blog. Tell me you love it, tell me you hate, tell me whatever you like. Define yourself… We are all ears!
