always second-guessing myself

I'm kind of unhappy and discontented with some of my most recent posts. It feels like I've been pretty lazy about this whole blog thing. Maybe its a poor self-image. I claim to have strong opinions, but I feel like I don't have anything really profound to say. Truth is, everyone's got strong opinions, and everybody wishes they were a writer. I wish I was a better communicator so I could pretend I was a good writer. Its not so much my blog posts don't accurately reflect my emotions or opinions, its more like my writing just does these things a disservice [read: Reagan's passing]. Overall I would just say I am dissatisfied with the result, for the time being. I've been reading some other bloggers and they approach everything it seems with a beautiful perspective, and thats what I'm starting to become self-conscious about. Who really wants to read another middle-class white male point of view? True demographics says little about someone's personality, it just seems I wish more interesting things happened to me. I bet a thousand other people feel the same way, so I'm just preaching to the choir. And I know there's many more who simply don't care about me bitching about my own personal dissatisfaction. Even writing this, I'm cringeing at the way I sound. I guess I'm still a work in progress, I want to have some depth to what I say, but so far seem incapable of it. I just wish I could figure out how to get the comments to work on this blog, so I could find out exactly what people think, and if in fact, anybody really reads this thing. And if you are worried about me, don't, cause knowing me, I'll be over this tomorrow.
