A Pause (to reflect on the greatest post ever)

I don't want to be the cynical guy in the room. It's not a challenge anymore. I like having a critical mind, but I don't like looking at things so cynically. What's worse, I don't want reader's of this site to get comfortable with a certain style of my personality that comes out in writing, posting, relating. Here's what I'm trying to say, but can't seem to say: You, the reader, may know me, the blogger, and be used to my jokes, cynical remarks, and critical view of the world. This is great if that were my only shtick. I admit, sometimes I take things too seriously or not seriously enough. I criticise everything that isn't a sanctioned product of Alex and isolate people with harsh statements. Ok, still pretty murky. This is also known as "Alex only has 4-5 minutes to post something so he goes for laughs" side to me. It sometimes leads me to say things like "am I as awkward as you?". The point is, what happens when I post something contrite and heartfelt? Have I trained my readers to be completely cynical of even the writer's writings? Can you truly believe that I could be touched by something emotionally evocative? You see, if my actions are 95% humorous/cynical, I have a hard time believing that you could wade through what I've already established as status quo to find the nugget of truth. Or maybe this thought process is completely lost on you. Perhaps you really are that unaffected by all things cynical. If so, I applaud you and envy you, and this post has merely shown you that from one cynic to another, it's hard to believe (or wade through) what's already been. My hope is that this gives pause to some of you cynics out there. It's great to be the smartest guy (or the most cynical) in the room, but at the end of the day when your heart's on the line, will you receive a cynical response via the same crop of cynicism you've sewn.
