Happy Canada Day, Morgan!

Blogging is tough. Performing half naked in front of large groups of people is easy. Blogging  however, is not. Morgan and I decided to start this blog because of our deep and meaningful conversations… Actually, that’s a lie. We decided to start this blog because of our ridiculous conversations about our cartoon lives that tend to put us in random, awkward and sometimes regrettable, other times enviable situations. The conversations that followed were some of the most insane things that you could ever hear two sane people talk about. Maybe we aren’t so sane after all. This blog is actually months and months in the works and we finally started it. We decided that the people who want to, needed to hear about our experiences, but that’s where it gets tough.

With Morgan, I have absolutely no filter. I just say the first thing that pops into my head without a second thought about it and she wouldn’t have it any other way. And she loves that about me. She tells me that that is the Joey that everybody needs to know. The one that she knows. But therein lies the problem with blogging. With blogging I am forced to think about what I’m saying. Or typing that is. Even if I just type as my mind flows, I have to read it back if for no other reason to check for typos. Then I read what I typed and have to think about it. Then I get critical. Then I start to worry about who exactly will be reading this and what exactly is the perception that I am giving off. I mean if I bang a stripper and want to type about it, do I have to worry about my mother reading this?

I realize that a blog is voluntary and the information I provide in it is on a voluntary basis. I also realize that you reading this is voluntary and obviously if you’re here, then you have something at least somewhat vested in me, so why hold back?

Morgan is so good at writing about her feelings. After all, she has been doing it for years through her song lyrics. I wish I had the confidence that she does about that. She insists that I do, but I guess that time will tell. I’m sure through her persistence, you will hear all about my many adventures. Not that she is pressuring me into this by any means. She is just a great motivator. And she assures me that there is someone deep down inside of me that is worth getting to know.
