I Admire You
I’ve already had my blog for two and half years and I have only posted 140 times in those two years.
To tell you the truth, I thought it would’ve been more. I feel like I’ve had this blog for more than two years. But I’ve notice I have been neglecting this blog. I didn’t update nearly as much as I did in 2009. I used to update 4 sometimes 5 times a month, now its barely even 2 entries. November was the worse because I had to backtrack that month. >.< I make an effort to never miss a month but this one time I did. Which is why I had to back track and post the drafts I should have posted during that month. So I am making a promise to update more in 2011. No backtracking and at least post 4 times a month. I can do that.
I’m not exactly sure why I have a blog. Well I guess it is because I love to write down what I am thinking. I’ve kept journals. There is just something about a journal that just gives me this feeling, I can’t really describe it. I just like the feeling of recording my life. Before my blog, I would write in my journal every day, sadly I don’t really keep a written journal anymore. I will write in one every now and then when I have that feeling of writing and keeping it to myself. Most of the time it is more poems rather than an entry on the happenings of my day. I still love the feeling of pen and paper and also completing a journal is the best feeling. Because then you can flip through the pages and its like you get to open the filing cabinet that holds all of your memories. Because lets face it we can’t always remember the tiny details. Plus I like to think that when I am older and have kids of my own I can show them a me they won’t get to meet. That is especially true with my vlogs. I started making vlogs in 2007, I don’t make them often and I had to delete a few due to copyright laws and others because I wanted to forget about them. (I should update youtube now and then with plain vlogs) Anyway, now I use vimeo to post my vlogs because they are just so much nicer plus I try not to use music in my vlogs anymore just in case they get mad. :/ **RANT- I don’t understand why we can’t use any type of music, that is how you spread the word of a band. You hear it somewhere and then you look them up. BAM! That band/musician just got more fans. Its just like a commercial using their song…I know its all about money. I get it. ** Rant over.
Anyway, so I hope vimeo is on the internet for a long while, because then I am passing something down to show my future family. I always got excited when I found pictures of my mom when she was a kid. Even more excited when I found pictures of her in high school. But my mom grew up in the 70?s and 80?s so she doesn’t have a ton of pictures. That’s why we are lucky to have all of this technology to record our lives. I don’t vlog or blog so I can get followers. Yes it would be nice to form friendships with people all over the world that share the same hobbies as me. But I don’t do this expecting to get followers or subscribers. I do this for myself and because I enjoy it. I hear a lot of people mocking those of us that keep blogs/vlogs. They describe us as vain, and that no one cares what we have to say. But newsflash, no blogger is saying that the world should care what we write. Bloggers are just regular people who want to share something with the world. Its a way to express yourself, just like painting or playing an instrument. And I admire anyone who is willing to do that. Because you are never truly yourself with someone, but by yourself you are more likely to be yourself. Because not all of us can just walk up to a complete stranger and immediately start up a friendship. We can’t all be brave like that.
Anyway the deep inner feelings part of the entry is over. Now to conclude this entry, I want to say I am really liking this bloglovin site. I have found a lot of interesting blogs.
Again I am making a promise to myself that I will update this blog more. I can’t always vlog so the least I can do is keep up with my blog.
