My stubborn originality

Phew, I just finished a revamping of my blog design. Of course, it's based on the structure of the rounders4 template provided by blogger, but in the month I've been a part of the blogosphere, I've seen two individuals using the same template. That must mean it's a good one. However, since there are others using that same template (probably hundreds more that I'll never see), I still have to change mine because I'm original and unlike anyone else. When I was a kid, I was taught that I'm like a snowflake - similar to all my brother and sister humans but different is a very special way. I've actually seen snowflakes up close and it's hard to describe the intricate beauty of each one. I used to walk through the cold night air while the silent snow made its way down to earth and watch the ones that got caught on my sleeve melt away into little droplets of water. I always thought they looked cool. So now, in order for me to be cool, I have to reinforce my originality through my unique blog design.

I'm not really proud of this stubborn originality - basically being different just to be different - but it's part of me so I'm not really ashamed either. I just think its funny that I spend so many hours on a Saturday night redesigning my blog when I could be out with my wife, cleaning the kitchen, or enjoying my bed. Oh, well.
