So day two, I think I'm going to be confused if I do day three before midnight... I'm pretty sure this late night blogging trend has got to go. In fact, hold please, while I go about sleeping and work until later in the day (two). That way I can do the posting justice.
-Edit to come-
Details
The end of a decade, the end of my undergraduate career, the end of my childhood, the end of my love life. 2010 has brought an end to a lot of wonderful things. But I challenge 2010. I am finally free of any obligation not sought out directly by me. I have no schooling to complete, unless I want to, no responsibilities to adhere to, unless I want to, and no boy to please... unless I want to!
With every end comes a new beginning and 2010 is a great beginning. A new job, a new outlook on life, new friends, new ideas, new goals.
Goals are what drive me. I have so many ideas crammed into my head that I feel the need to break that proverbial piggy bank and spend some of it's loot! In order to get any work done in the new year, and to remember what I have accomplished come 2011; I have chosen to start a blog. Dun-duh-dunnnn!!!
I've had a blog before and it was pretty emotional, I was in high school, and the readers knew me personally; but now I am looking to break free from those constraints. I will remain anonymous... namewise... and I will hopefully shy off of the dramatics. My goals, my desires, my questions; I hope to update every day until January 6th, 2011.
MoCoAvg is in tribute to what is to come and will hopefully help me notice the common themes in my life. It was on New Year's Eve when I had a very serious drunken talk with a coworker of mine. We talked about being normal. What's normal anyways? The idea of normal is a paradox into itself. An infinite loop if you will. Someone is normal if they are just like everyone else. But no one is completely unique and yet no one is exactly the same. Someone may be normal in their job life, and abnormal in their love life. No one can be completely normal, and no one can be without abnormalities. Normal is not a state of mind or a decision one can make. Normalcy, like greatness, is thrust upon us in the most critical of times.... well, maybe. The fact of the matter is that being completely normal is abnormal. Normal out norms itself.
So, what - is - normal?
Being the intoxicated air signs that we were, we defined normal as the most common average. This definition implies that there are numerous averages. Many different groups of normal. But the important part is the most common of those. The most common average is the closest to normal anyone can get. But, who would want to be normal? I certainly strive to be as unique as I can be. Normal to me is a boring, empty existence. So in naming my blog MoCoAvg, I have already challenged myself to do better. Do more. Do.... Anything! The goal is to stray away from those averages. Become a new average, no, Become the least common exception. There are many exceptions to the rule, but the least common of them is me.
