I'd like to start out by saying somehow in a matter of seconds I came up with a blog name that was vague enough that my ramblings and rants would not be limited, yet conveyed and summed up everything this blog is about. And perfect way to start it is, as it brings up my reasoning for said name. I have one word for you: Ego. Ego is what defines us as human beings. First and foremost we always attend to our ego. It's why such things as Facebook, Twitter, and yes ladies and gentlemen even Blogger are so popular. We believe that our lives are so important that people want to read what we update, post, and tweet. The reality is this: who really cares that you bought your cat a new collar or that you're off to do yard work. No one really. Yet we humor each other by commenting and liking in hopes that the favor will be returned, so our egos can be round and plump. I'm not saying that it applies to everything we say or that it's a bad thing at all. It's perfectly natural, and yes, even healthy. It's not our only quality as humans either. We can be very selfless at times and portray limitless love and compassion. The act of building up one's ego is often looked down upon in today's society, yet there's nothing wrong with passing a mirror and commenting how good you look. I fully encourage it.
Now that I've effectively babbled about egos, what does that have to do with my blog? Well if you actually took in anything you just read, it's rather obvious. This blog is about me, and as the name implies, my egocentric ramblings. Thoughts that have to do with me, but more likely than not thoughts that (I hope) many people will identify with. While I'm doing this mainly for therapeutic reasons, I also want to express my most inner thoughts and ramblings about life and what I believe are undeniable truths. See, it's all falling into place. I'm no hypocrite either, I don't honestly expect anyone to be genuinely interested in much, if any of what I have to say. More likely than not, anyone who reads this is either someone I know in real life or bored out of their mind. In the end, this blog is for me. Anyone who finds it as a source of entertainment is just a bonus (however a very welcomed one).
