Daily Blog... GO!

A thought occurred to me today; "If I am planning on doing a daily vlog on youtube, why don't I get into the practice now by doing a daily blog." So, heeere we go!

At the moment I am at work. I'm getting paid to sit here and wait for someone to call in sick. In the other room a few guys are watching some morning show with Kathy Lee-Gifford. For some reason, the people booking that show thought people would like to hear her talk with some other old bag about their sex lives... That's good television, I don't care what you say!

I would think the challenge of a daily blog is content. Questions like. "What do I write about?" and "Is my life really that interesting?" keep popping up in my head. Not to mention the time requirements. But I feel like the people out there reading personal blogs (as opposed to a themed blog) don't really care that I'm not Kim Kardashian or The Jimmer. I think people like to snoop. People like to peek in to windows and see what life is like for that person. So here you go you sickos! Peep away!

On a side note, I am determined not to blog about work. It seems like that only gets people in trouble. You can do a google search on it and find countless stories of people (I like to call them morons) that thought that talking bad about their employer was a good decision. It's not, and I won't do it. If you want me to talk bad about my employer you can call me on the phone or come to my house.

So here we go. Please follow me and comment till your hearts content!

How To Blog

Try this: Go to Google and search "blog". Go ahead, do it, we will wait.... What did you get? I got this: "About 5,230,000,000 results (0.12 seconds)" under my search bar. That's more than 5 billion results from the word blog. Now, I realize that these probably aren't all blogs but even if half are blogs... WOW! And 2 of them are mine!

If someone would have told me to do this exercise before I began my blogs I don't think I would have them right now. It's kind of discouraging. But why? Why would this cause someone to be reluctant to start a blog? As far as I know the internet isn't running out of room yet. I think it's because we see blogging as a way to get our little piece of the famous pie. We think, "Hey if I get enough readers I can be like that chick from 'Julia and Juliet'" (or whatever it was). And I really think that's the problem with blogging. We have expectations. If we don't have X amount of readers subscribed by blank date then it's not going well. And no one has had bigger expectations than me. Shoot, Blogger still tells me I have 5 blogs. And I was sure that each one was going to be HUGE!

But, if it's not to become famous, why should you blog?

I'm sure there are tons of reasons why you should blog. For me, it's because I enjoy it. I like writing. I like researching things that interest me. I also like reading other peoples blogs to get an insight into their minds. And at least blogging actually produces something, unlike gaming for 4 hours at a time....

Here are the only rules I have placed upon myself for blogging:
 1. Make it fun. If you don't enjoy it then you can't expect anyone else to.
 2. Blog about things that interest you, not things that interest others.
 3. Don't worry about your readership. It will come with time.
 4. A blog is not for complaining about work, family, or anything that is too personal.

So, start a blog. Write what you want, and have a blast. I know I do.
