accurate depiction?

For one reason or another I recently went back and read all the post I've made over the past year. It left me with one lingering impression. Is this an accurate depiction of who I really am as a person? That's what it's supposed to be, right?

I think as I wrote this I envisioned it filling in the holes and elaborating on things people see on Facebook or what have you, but that is probably not always the case. I wrote a few posts that generated a lot of traffic for me over the past year. (this and this) The second of those two generated probably half of the 3000+ hits this little blog has amassed since its inception approximately a year and a half ago. What if they stuck around? What if you weren't on Facebook, or didn't know what was going on in my life one way or another? Does this blog convey who I am?

I'm leaning towards no.

For one thing, I complain a lot more. I'd like to think, hope to God actually, that I'm not this bad in real life. I don't think I am.

Most importantly, it heavily focuses on a few key issues while mainly leaving out the rest. For instance, reading this blog would you ever know that I was in a relationship from August of last year to July of this year? I don't think it was ever really mentioned. There could be possible subconscious reasons for that, but overall I think it's a gross oversight. I've mentioned the remodeling I've done to my house a few times, but never actually provided pictures directly on here. Again, under the incorrect assumption that anyone could see them on Facebook.

It hits home in a few key areas, though. I do care about my weight and how I look very much. I'd have to for how much I write about it. I like fashion, traveling, dogs, music, and especially movies. They all get mentioned a lot. As they should. Because that's who I am.

But it's not everything.

Since I'm just starting up again I need to write some mini movie reviews. I go just about every week. Marissa and I went a lot this past year, me dragging her to some movies she didn't really want to see on occasion. Now that I'm single again I've reintroduced one of my favorite things. Sunday morning matinees all by myself. I don't know how to explain it, but I really enjoy going to movies and concerts by myself. I've seen just about every movie this summer so I'll get around to doing that at some point, maybe this weekend.

Mostly, as a person, I am paralyzed by choices. I've always felt like I'd be better served if I just really loved one thing at the expense of all the rest. Because nothing ever really gets my full attention. After some consideration I've realized that's just who I am, who I will be, and something I need to embrace. But for the variety of things that I get myself into during the course of the year, I'll try to do a better job conveying it.

But don't get too confused, there will still be plenty of diet/exercise posts. :)
