So I just had the sort of dream- like fantasy of, what if I could get paid to blog? There are tons of paid bloggers out there. but then things like this started to hit me:
a) If someone asked me what my occupation was, I would say blogger. I don't know why, but it just feels like a super lame answer. maybe if I published my blogs into a book I could at least say I'm an author or a writer- blogger just makes me sound like a dork.
b) I probably wouldn't make very much money, not that I'm all about the money. I was once willing to be a starving artist [actor], I can be a starving writer too. Living on Ramen is totally fine with me. [yum] It would be nice to be making something substantial though. but what do i know? I'm the person who would DIE if i had to work in a cubicle, so maybe this is even better!
c) all I can think of when I think of a blogger is Julia Robert's d-bag husband in Larry Crowne (which was really not a good movie, but I like Tom Hanks and I commend him for trying). He was played by the dad from Malcom in the Middle. I'll never be able to remember that actor's name.
So maybe I don't want to be a professional blogger.
but my blog isn't very successful yet, so what's the worry? and if i did, why not? I seem to be catching on to this whole blogging thing.
p.s. The tv show "The Middle" is really just copying "Malcolm in the Middle", and Malcolm in the Middle was WAY better. I'm sorry, but I will not tolerate blatant copy cats. Like Total Recall which was an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie in the early 90's.
