Bloggers Block

So...  I've started this thing and now what?   It seems dorky to blog about blogging, but what do I know? 
Begin at the beginning...  I tend to have brief tirades from my soapbox, and people generally 'like' my comments... etc.  I have always really loathed writing, never could fill the length requirements.  Why write 10 pages on a topic when I said what I had to say in 3? 
Perhaps I was ahead of my time.  Now with character limits, we try to fit our existence into 150 characters or less...

I've mulled over beginning a blog for awhile... 
I recently began following DEADMAU5's blog here..."FML - The Blog Of Fail"

I was initially interested in familiarizing myself with his "sound."  Then he collapsed during a performance this summer, cancelled some dates, and I became curioser about him as a person.  I don't know the guy, and don't know how much I can know about a person based on a blog, but I could kinda relate to him like any other dude, any other musician.  I hope that he is the regular guy he seems...  but who knows?  I will still enjoy his performance... 
I have noticed for quite awhile that I've always enjoyed the performances of people that I knew personally more than some stranger up on a stage behind a mic/mask/make-up/piano/guitar...  etc.  
I enjoy seeing someone I know from this side of the 4th wall, letting go and getting down.  Fame takes the best part out of watching a performance...  the "make-believe."  If you are watching a stranger perform, what are we watching?  When I watch a friend, acquaintance, or colleague perform, I know that they are bending outside of their normal "reality."  When I watch a stranger perform, I wonder who am I watching here?  A stylized representation of what someone has decided that I am supposed to want? 
I can decide for myself, thank-you-very-much!  

...  and I hope that he will post a comment  "1st" on one of my blogs!  
I'm a dork, right?  I have a freaking blog, don't I?!

Mwahahaha!

Love my Blog title... I am a little amazed that it was available.
That's what makes me The Bitch...  I own it. 
I've never blogged before, and I'm sure some lower-case bitch will be telling me I'm doing it wrong any minute now.  Bring it.
