Back Again
So I bought a domain name, and have had this blog (I hate that word) up here since this summer. I need to update it. People who visit this site are greeted with a sad insight into my life after dropping out of school and living at home, with no friends in town and no job. A lot of shit has happened since 2008 though, and I'm going to get back to writing. But what will I write about?
I'm definitely keeping it completely free of any "livejournal" style posts in the vein of:
I hope that I can think of topics that will be not only exciting for me to write about, but that will actually be entertaining for the general public (or at least the small segment of the general public that ends up reading this thing).
Here are some of the types of posts that I'm considering:
"Today was soooo boring I went to work, and then got home and went on Facebook but nobody had posted anything exciting and then all the links on reddit are already purple because I went all the way to the 1000th post and found nothing exciting."Okay, I wouldn't actually post something THAT innane (well, maybe I have before, go back through the archives here and find out). What I'm saying is that blogs (damn, that word again) containing the mundane details of someone's day-to-day life are soooo 2004. Okay well maybe they're still popular in the High School world, I don't know.
I hope that I can think of topics that will be not only exciting for me to write about, but that will actually be entertaining for the general public (or at least the small segment of the general public that ends up reading this thing).
Here are some of the types of posts that I'm considering:
- Music:
- Obscure album reviews/breakdowns (a.k.a. "I liked them before they were popular" hipster-esque posts)
- Attempted analysis of my favorite tunes
- Quirky musical history facts
- General gushing over albums that I think are masterpieces
- New music that I'm in to and why its awesome
- Games:
- Classic video game nostalgia fests (as if the internet isn't full enough of those yet)
- Modern video game reviews
- Minecraft, lots of Minecraft stuff
- Book reviews (whenever I get time to read)
- General random stuff that I find interesting and want to share with the world
That is just some preliminary brainstorming, captured right here on this very website! (That's what I'll call it to avoid the 'B' word.) See how exciting this is already? But feel free to suggest things or tell me that the internet doesn't need another rambling fool acting like people actually care about what they're talking about. There's a comments section here is all I'm saying, feel free to use it.
Also a redesign of this very minimalist template is in order. I actually like the old fashioned black-and-white look, its rather classy and simple, but I'm going to try and spice it up a bit more.
This time around, I will not back out on my attempt to begin writing here again. Last time I made a few posts and got a job and then it was back to radio silence. I will be drafting articles starting today, and will hope to have at least 3 posts a week, and hell, maybe some people will actually read them too.
