Less.Self.Bad. Selfless. Good?

I think that the primary idea behind journals and diaries was to keep a record. For your self, or, if you're an esteemed scientist of sorts, maybe for others. But, really, I don't think that the primary purpose was attention. I can not see Anne Frank doing her diary, hoping she could make millions of euros off of it. Well, she couldn't, because they didn't have euros then...how dumb of an idea.

Contrast:blogs are for attention. Or the idea that what you say is worth attention. Moral qualifier: no one will admit this. Or say this.

Conclusion: There is more value in what I say than in what many other people say. I did not say think. There are plenty of people that are smarter than me, wiser than me, better typists than me. But I have something they don't. I have an obscene amount of charisma. I can communicate my ideas. 

But this is a talent that I waste. I am lazy. No, I am not.

I am my harshest critic. Many people say this, but I am honest.

I lie all the time. Not because...well, because whatever reason many people lie. I lie for the fun of it. What's that mean? I live in a small town, and it is one way that I have fun. I enjoy it.

I think on my feet very well. Quickly too. I feel that the wrong decision is ALWAYS better than no decision at all. It gets me in a lot of trouble.

I am frank. Well, my name is not frank, thankfully, but I am usually blunt about things. This too gets me in trouble.

I am tired of waiting around for things to happen.
