i.am.findingmyniche.

I was looking through the Wayback Machine and while I saw it, I found this post archived along with it. I didn’t read it after the the initial typing. It’s actually very rare that I go back to some of my entries. I don’t think I’d ever go back to this one. But the reason why this one stuck out was because here I am, almost a year later, still finding my niche in the blogging world. But I’ve made progress. I’ve come to the conclusion that if I can’t knock them out with layout design, then kill ‘em with the one thing that I actually came here to do–write. And that’s what I intend to do.

So basically that’s what seems to be happening. Crestfallen’s turning into a full-out writing portfolio, and that’s fine by me. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Do you know what I originally bought this domain for? A graphic portfolio. But I axed it. Why? Let’s be real here–that’s not me. So what am I doing with it? Turning it into a network site for others with a written, vocal, and/or graphical talent. Whether or not it takes off the way I want it to is up in the air, but it’d make a kick-ass project, wouldn’t it? I think so. Graphics aren’t my strongest point by a long shot. This isn’t to say that I’m going to slack off on it, but not everyone can be the best of the best of the best (“sir!” </”Men In Black” reference>). Best to focus on what I have.

I guess I am finding my niche. Slowly, but surely. It’s taken me two years¹ to get me to this point.

Not only did that post trigger this revelation, but it also triggered me to look at the adjective clique². I can relate to so many of those, but there’s one that I never related to ever–i.am.beautiful. This whole thing goes way back almost 15 years. Even now, despite hearing it from the ex-dahling³ (that’s one of the last things he said actually), I still don’t believe it. I guess I am sarcastic, eclectic, misunderstood, emotional, but not yet beautiful.

But I am me. And I am finding my niche. I guess that’s enough for now.
