This Is Me

This is my first post, and will most likely be incredibly stupid. You have been warned.

Some of you may ask why are you doing this to yourself? Can’t you just write a diary or something? To answer your questions here is why am I making a blog:

• Because I enjoy complaining. I do it quite a lot. I complain about soggy waffles, too-tight skinny jeans, and stupid politicians.
• Because yelling at the TV isn’t good enough anymore. Being upset with how things are going isn’t enough. I’m tired of not being heard. I’m tired of feeling powerless. I’m tired of not having a say in things.
• Because I don’t have what it takes to be a politician. No one would look at me and say, ‘hey wouldn’t she make a great congresswoman?” Um, no I would not make a good anything. And without a title I’m a just a small girl from East LA. But I have a voice and not using it would be shameful.

I honestly thing blogging might be my true calling. I can write my feelings out and have random people read it. Sounds terrifying, right? Well now that most of you are worrying for my mental state due to my masochistic impulses let’s get on with it. I know some of you are

I honestly thing blogging might be my true calling. I can write my deepest darkest feelings out and have random people read it. Sounds terrifying, right? Well now that most of you are worrying for my mental state due to my masochistic impulses let’s get on with it. I know some of you are still curious about the details to this thing here is some extra information:

• I’m not really a private person. Whether I like it or not, most people know my business or assume they do (not all people, but a lot of them). I have nothing to lose by making this blog so why not?
• I’ll be covering most issues ranging from women’s rights to immigration. Random issues, big issues, hard issues, I’ll try to cover them all. I’ll be doing research on each topic and will be sure to leave links to any of the resources I use.
• I hope to engage young people and try to get them invested in politics. Because if the younger generations don’t step up and demand to be heard, the people representing us can get away with not listening.
• All in all, I understand that the likelihood of someone finding my blog and actually reading it is extremely small. And the small amount of people that do find it might hate it.

Also, as a warning, I am a democrat. A very liberal democrat. The things I see as common sense, others might see as scandalous or wrong. I will not apologize for my views. As long as I remain respectful of others, I see no problem in stating them. I think it would be enlightening for someone with different beliefs to read this blog, but if not, you can leave. I understand that it’s difficult sometimes to try and see things from other’s perspective. When things don’t fit in your carefully crafted beliefs it can be scary. If you don’t like the things I write, don’t read them. But please, whatever you do, don’t leave negative comments and attack me or others. That will get you blocked.
