I'm like a Firecracker

On Sunday evening I enjoyed a few hours of song and script at the somewhat monthly Northwood Park Church of Christ 'Almost Open' Mike Coffee House. These are always a blast. Everyone that wants to is usually able to go up and tell a story, read a poem, do magic tricks, sing a song, whatever tickles their fancy. Normally I take some of my poetry and read it. However most of my poetry is miserable at best, or an insolvable cryptic mystery at worst. So I decided to read the last entry in this blog. It went over very well, probably due in part to people being able to understand it.

I never intended this division of styles, but it would seem that all the intense and emotional writings are saved for my poetry and all my philosophical ramblings are placed here; in the Red Room.

To further prove my point I will now continue with more philosophy.

I enjoy reading my poetry, I write it to help calm my soul. It gives me a creative outlet for the many issues I have had or am dealing with. Some of it is discernable as an easily understood metaphor, at least to those that were present during the occurence of which I am writing about. And having said that, I enjoyed far more reading that one little blog entry. My poetry I write for me, it is selfish in that way. I don't write it for people to understand it, I write it so that I may better understand myself. Whereas my blog, I write to entertain others. In the song 'Circus' by Britney Spears there's a line that sort of fits what I'm trying to say here; "There's only two types of people in the world, Those that entertain and those that observe." I believe I fit into the first catagory. It is infinitely more enjoyable for me to ensure that others are entertained than to sit back and observe.

Now to tie it all up, in case anyone was wondering, I do realize my logic is somewhat haphazard and roundabout. O_o

When I read that entry to the audience, it was evident that they were enjoying themselves, they were attentive, and not once did a look of confusion cross their features. That is what I write this for, not to be pretentious, not to impart some grand piece of wisdom, and most especially I do not write it for me. I write it for you. To entertain you. To place a smile on your face, I write it for those few moments where you may read it and simply forget all other worries and cares and be engaged. Now some may read this blog and snicker or laugh, some may disagree with my points of view, and some may read it and be left with some insight. No matter what the reaction is, I believe that it has served its purpose. Because if you've read this far, then for at least 2 minutes of your life you were entertained.

Maybe not well... but entertained nonetheless.

I would also like to point out that I am an ENFP. And as such it is my life goal to be annoyingly entertaining, at least in written form.

And a Pisces.

But that just means I'll believe anything, that and I enjoy long walks on the beach.

So if you don't like what you read, feel free to flame me. I'm not overly fond of flamers, but at least I have a clear indication of what I need to change. And if you like what you read don't feel the need to post anything at all. I will take your silence as confirmation of the fact that I am the most entertaining blog writer out there.

Peace.
