Leaving for my business trip in the morning.
I'm excited and prepared. One of the reasons I took this job is to see the world and this trip will allow me to do so.
Lately, I've thought of creating a new blog for reviews. This thought stemmed from the constant conversations I have with myself when I vocalize my critique on a specific item, be it a video game, and album, a movie, or even something I've eaten.
It also came from the notion that I sometimes find it difficult to just write without reason. I need to have something to write about (...like, my life) to get my brain churning out words.
Perhaps this comes from years of writing prompts where if I didn't fulfill the requirements, it'd be a bad grade on a paper which could turn into a bad grade in a class which could turn into a lecture at home from the 'rents (and the possibility of taking my video games away, god forbid).
Granted, who'd really want to hear my opinion on this CD or that game; I'm not really 'trained' to be a critic and I don't really claim to be some kind of expert.
But in any case, I think I'd like to translate how I feel about a specific item into words sufficiently.
Hm... that would mean a new blog, new format and whatnot.
Maybe it's a good idea to keep this and that blog separate? (i.e. different hosting sites)
I enjoy Blogspot but I think I'd set up camp for my reviewing blog on some place like Tumblr or Wordpress or wherever.
To be determined...
tumblr would be easier for a media blog, because they let you link things (videos, songs, etc) directly, whereas with wordpress you could certainly do the same but you'd have to... you know, take extra steps. wordpress requires less lazy, and more dedication.
