Most people who somehow end up on this blog will probably think, "Well this is boring," and then just X out of it. The truth is, it is a fairly boring and monotonous blog, not necessarily in content but in appearance. The background is uniform, the fonts are ordinary, and there are no pictures besides the one of Atlas holding the desperate world on his frail shoulders. I do this intentionally, yet I don't know why. Perhaps it is a statement of my own monotony. I am an incredibly schedule-oriented guy, and I'm convinced I have OCD. Anything asymmetrical bothers me. As aforementioned, any pitch that is flat or sharp also bothers me (but I've become more used to it with time). So maybe I have no pictures, around two paragraphs per post, and a normal font to maintain some uniformity, which is comfort in my language.
Perhaps I made my blog boring because my sub-conscious means for it to represent something. The title of this blog is "The Search for John Galt," and this search takes place among a sea of clueless, ignorant Americans. I and many others call these people "sheeple" or "bell curves." They go through life assuming that their government will keep taking care of them. They have very little responsibility for themselves, and they often don't make their own choices. Thus, they are like sheep, going about aimlessly with the farmer, the government, controlling and herding them. The farmer has most of the (political) power, and it's addicting. So, while America is searching for John Galt (which they have been for a long, long time), we have sheeple, robots, bell curves that are there for the ride. It is a long stretch, yes, but perhaps my subconsciousness made the blog boring to represent these sheeple. They just fill up space and maintain symmetry.
YAWWWN!!!! :)
