Profound.<br />

It's time to start blogging again. The decision has been made. It's final. Unless, of course, I decide not to. Like an ornery teenage girl, I tend to change my mind a lot.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
I will try to make my posts brief. Why? Because there's nothing worse than a long-winded diatribe about politics, or religion, or how to bake perfect cookies, or where I went to buy a new pair of shoes. That's what Facebook is for. If you have to scroll down a War & Peace length blog post, then there's something wrong. I think it's perfectly acceptable to be entertaining, intelligent, profound, humorous, and interesting in several short paragraphs.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
But again, being like that ornery teenage girl, I might just say "fuck it" one day and write as much as I damn well please.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
The problem I've had with blogging in the past has been a theme. Apparently a theme is like the brick-and-mortar of blogging. I get it, I really do. As humans we crave structure. We want things to be simple and easy. I think this is important, but I don't think it's always necessary. Sometimes it's just as crucial to step outside the box (or, in some cases, <em>jump</em>). For example, Beyonce just released a new album <em>out of nowhere</em>. No promotion, no advertising, no pre-release single. Talk about shaking things up. Well played, Beyonce, well played.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
So here I am, no theme. I'm themeless. Without theme. And, if you say theme over and over again, it starts to sound totally ridiculous. Like a speech impediment. And now you're trying it, and you're ticked off because I manipulated you into it. But it was all in good fun.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
That's what I'll go with for now: all in good fun. Does that mean I have a theme now?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Oh, and here's a kitten.</div>
