a manifesto, of sorts...

Dear World,

The blogs that I read on a daily basis fall into three categories:

  1. Discussion forums, largely political
  2. Chronicles of celebrity insanity (Wentworth Miller's bf is HOT, btw!)
  3. Individual bloggers I totally adore
Given that (1) I am not a community and (2) I have very minimal interaction with celebrities, I suppose this particular undertaking would aspire to this third category. Unfortunately, I don't really care what I have to say.

I don't want to read my thoughts and musings on current events or simply add another opinion to The Internets. I think that's probably why I have resisted this whole blogging thing for such a long time, so I'm going to create a new category.

However, I've made peace with the fact that I do have certain innate talents. (And while that sounds crazy dirty, we're not talking about THOSE skills! Maybe later.) I'm a good listener and a great sounding board. I have a sense of what people need, of how to help them through a rough patch, of how best to push through and cope with the fact that life makes very little sense and it just seems overwhelming at times.

So that's what we're going to do. I'm going to listen. To your questions, your troubles, your conundrums. And, together, we'll sort through it - or at least we'll try. Morality, job trajectories, relationships, fashion, pop culture, financial decisions, travel planning... At this point, I see no reason to restrict the topics at hand. [I hope I don't regret that statement, though I'm very intrigued to see what it would take for me to do so.]

Write me. I will answer.

You will then either ignore or savor my advice as you see fit.

As a friend of mine recently said, "I just want to help the world - and wear great shoes while doing so." This little project is going to be some combination of Ann Landers and Savage Love, by way of SJP.

I also reserve the right to broadcast more general ramblings (such as this one) though I will do my best to make them... Not boring.

And, with that, the floor is open. First question?

Make healty choices!

The Paraphernalian would like to officially welcome The Enabler to the blogosphere, and looks forward to the rationalization of many irrational desires, the answering of many unanswerable questions, and the enabling of all kinds of outrageous behaviors.
