The Year of Parvin

Parvin told me to update my fucking blog. Her wish is granted!

Keeping up a blog is expensive, if attention and energy were the same as dollars. Contrary to a lot of naysayers, I feel like blogs are a wonderful gift from the internet that allow people to express themselves in ways a little more untethered, and - although questionably - a lot more boldly and publicly than before. Blogs are also great ways to allow yourself to cultivate your own self-perception, and I think Parvin is the shining example of this fact. Although I'm upset that I was not chosen to be her Alcohol Life Coach, I think her mission statement and strategy are solid ones.

Hopefully breathing new life into this blog - and coming back to the world of blogoshpere - will convince her to make me her Blog Life Coach. I think together we can yell at each other to stay on top of our god damn respective blogs. She's doing a great job so far.
