I'm sitting here, thinking on what makes a blog worth paying for. Everyone has opinions, for ill or good. Some even share those opinions, regardless of the consequence. With that in mind, why do some opinions have a higher value than others? For that matter, for those who share the same opinion, why does one person's particular opinion outweigh all others with that same opinion?
I could write down every thought and action I take in my life. Most of it could even be interesting to someone other than me. On the other hand, there are plenty of people whose lives could be more interesting than mine and probably are.
I'm not talking about celebrities, celebutantes, pro-athletes, etc. Their lives are extraordinary by default, despite what some celebs say about wanting to lead a semi-"normal" life. Bullshit. If you lead a normal life, you wouldn't be making millions having your name on the marquee. Our society's obsession with the rise and fall of celebrity is ridiculous. Case in point? Perez Hilton. We read tabloids and magazines riddled with hearsay and "one-on-one interviews". Honestly, do you think the celeb is being candid or keeping up appearances. We've all heard it before. "He seems so down-to-earth", "Her support has really helped [enter name of cause here]". Appearances are everything... however inadequate or commendable.
Back to my original point: I have talents. I feel my brain (on a good day) functions at a 'higher-than-normal' rate. Other than my big head (and I mean brain-size, not ego), I can cook and write creatively. I believe people would be interested in what I have to say.
Perhaps I am disillusioned.
