Why is it so hard to start a blog? Seriously, I mean literally setting it up is so easy and simple thanks to websites like blogger, but why is it so hard to just start writing? I've just caught myself staring at the computer screen and realised that after an hour I still haven't written anything! I think it might be the fact that this blog is not devoted to a specified topic, so therefore I really have nothing specific to talk about and/or begin with? Or i might just be thinking too much into it and really its just my indecisiveness that is really the factor increasing the complexity of this modern (and in my opinion) elusive philosophical question. Okay well, I've found myself rambling on again (and possible talking a lot of s#@*, i mean philosophy?! what am I getting myself into?), but at least i found a way to start my blog, so that's a plus? anyway my blog is hopefully a better extension of my terrible earlier blog posts on my facebook site (which I'm hoping in vain that no one can be bothered to read), which were for my digital communication class at uni. I was meant to talk about the triumphs and frustrations of the course, but mine turned out to be large whinge fests of all the difficulties I had with computers in trying to do some of the assignments required for the course. Blogging for me, at that time seemed to be such a boring unnecessary task that only die hard fans of something, would do (no offence to regular blog users). Now after more education and understanding about blogs, i have to say I'm reformed (to an casual user extent). Blogging doesn't seen that all that bad and not as exposing as i once thought it was. I still feel it is a little unnecessary and is an unpurposeful task for me anyway, just because I feel i really don't have anything interesting/intelligent to say, or lead an interesting life to post about. Then again, does the content need to be interesting? Even if no one reads your blog I guess sometimes it always healthy to get stuff off your chest or your mind, instead of becoming a repressed loner who wants to kill their high school/work/college (sorry about the bad generalisation/stereotype). Anyway, again found myself on a tangent the point that i was meant to be getting at was the purpose of my blog. My blog I have decided, even if i still haven't created my portfolio website yet, is going to be a part of my "about me" section of my website. My blog i guess will tell people a little bit about me, my thoughts and ideas, maybe even boring normal day to day life's encounters? Its also going to document my interactions with my digital communication course so my posts are going to be catch ups on the work I've missed and/or forgot to blog about (decided to be brutally honest here). So that's my goal for my blog summed up in what I hope hasn't been such along and drawn out blog post.
The beginning I have put in two parts mainly because today has been a big event for my blog and website and I'm not sure if one blog post could handle such an amount of dramatic events. lol. I'm not even sure if future posts will be as exciting and riveting as the beginning and I'm not even sure if I'm blogging about the right stuff for my digital communication class but i guess its all trial and error and I'll just have to wait and see.
