I’ve been a bit flummoxed, and it’s made me hesitate.
Now I have a back-log of blogs again, so I’m going to charge on through the mixed emotions and make whatever clown sense I can of it.
Partially, I’ve had to reconsider my audience. As I quickly post updates through twitter and pictures through facebook, it has almost felt obsolete to blog. I finally canceled two myspace accounts because of the largely asymmetrical relationships (i.e. same voices telling variations on the same story without a dialogue).
I had intended this particular blog to be my professional story. It, however, includes so much of my personal life because I believe in that chestnut ‘the personal is political’.
I believe that blogging about adventures with my 5.5 year old son, Orion, will provide a wholesome context for Justin, the person behind Jusby’s make-up. The same is true for the blogs (or tweets) about my wife, Trish. I believe that the readership is made up of potential clients, and if they can empathize with my struggles as a father, a husband, an employee, a man, a human… they will more likely GET my humor as a clown.
Hence, the recurring universal interest themes like: cheeseburgers, chipotle, auto trouble, public school, missed appointments.
