Does the first post need a title?

So this begins a new blog, my first one at that. I’ve been wanting to write one for a long time, but my schedule didn’t allow for it. Now I’m making time. Hopefully I can grow and become a great blogger, maybe not fantastic, but up there.

To start off…

Wait? I am allowed to have a subject in the first post? My assumption would be that the unwritten rule is that the first post is reserved as a beginning. Also that putting in naive questions is a no-no. So is talking like the mother of a three-year old.

On one hand, it seems kind of upfront, starting up with nothing and neglecting to ease into it.

On the other, I haven’t really talked about anything so any passerby will just see an intro about…nothing.

Screw it.

Personality Dichotomies

Ooooh, big, scary word. So I was recently thinking about how people have social groups. Not so much in life, but in high school. Yes, everybody remembers that. The stereotypes are there, and they always will be. So we make fun of them because they’re there, right? Well, the obvious solution would be to fix the jocks vs. nerds/ popular vs. not disputes by integration (however that would work).

Easy. Make the stupid jocks study, stick the nerds in a weightlifting class, humble the popular-ites, makeovers for the socially deprived.

But at the core of this simple, pragmatic solution lies the truth of the matter.

Nobody wants to change it.

We may hate the way it is, but if we really changed it, then we’d have smart jocks and athletic dorks. So what separates them anymore? What really matters is that the social identification is more important than the lacking quality. People may dislike differences, but with most cases like this, they like the differences than the possibility of similarity. If you want to add legal stuff into the mix, right of association.

Now the bigger question is, does this apply to society on a larger scale too?

Okay, so I went back on what I said earlier. Deal with it. It’s eleven thirty.

Well, first attempt at a post, maybe it’ll be okay. Good night all you non-existent people.
