Narcissist in Training

In a world where reality television, social networking sites and blogging are shoved down our throats on a daily basis, I can’t help but ask the question: When did we become so narcissistic? We’re all entitled to be consumed with our daily lives; after all, how would anything get done? But when people find it necessary to “Twitter” their every move, “I’m eating a beef burrito with cheese,” or, “I just watched Four Christmases and it sucked ass,” which btw, it did; isn’t that crossing some sort of egotistical line? What’s next? Will people go as far as to resort to documenting their bowel movements? At least that would make me laugh. “Just took massive dump. Felt great.”

The bottom line is that most of us would love for others to believe that our lives are as exciting as we think they are, but let’s be honest, most of us don’t give two shits about whether you made it to Safeway yesterday. I know I don’t. I'm not even that interested in myself! How can I criticize, though, when I’ve jumped on the blogging bandwagon as well? I may not blog about my day-to-day life but I’m certainly under the impression that others might care about certain life events, epiphanies, or profound thoughts that occur. I may be totally off there and that’s why as a writer, I would love some feedback as to what you all want to hear. Let’s here it…I want the goods.
