Thinking about things
So this morning I had plans to take pictures throughout the day to post for a 5 of 5 thingy, but work was wierd and busy and I just got sidetracked... I am really rethinking the blog... not that I will stop blogging, but how a I proceed with it... I have some things to weigh out in my mind and how it would effect my personal and professional life for those who run across it... but for now I will keep posting and being silly (which I am sure will continue down the road)... What made think of the blog and a few things in life... I was on the way to work the other day and this chick Kelly Cutrone was being interviewed on the radio... the question from a listener who wanted to know what to do with her life was asked... the girl wanted to be in journalism or something and wanted to know how to break in... Kelly suggested something rather smart... start a blog... write for free for some local papers or blogsites and jump from there... but do what you want and feel you should do in life... do not wait...
As some of you may know, I was in the television business, on and off camera (and won awards on both sides, pat myself on the back)...I love taking pictures and being creative... I have always wanted to write a book (and have about 100 pages from a college class done)...I guess I am some sort of creative person... and the comments this other Kelly made on the radio really hit home... I have been (for the most part) doing somewhat of an editorial for the local gay paper... have been asked to contribute to another local gay blog and I think I will actually focus hard on both now. I think between those two and this blog, I will become somewhat of a different person, but still the one you know and love (or hate)... I think the whole Facebook thing is great and has dragged many bloggers out of the blog world, but I also notice that many are starting come back, not totally leaving FB, but paying a bit more attention to blogging and writing out feelings in more than 200 words or so... as you can tell, I have a lot going through my mind right now and I think (and hope) it will all be good for me and those who spend a second or two reading this blog...
So this is me this morning on the way to work, well waiting for traffic to pass so I could pull out (hehehe) ... I think I have a man boob there... damn... more focus on the gym...
This is me tonite after a bit of trimming of the beard and hair... though I am still a little thin on top, i needed to trim up things (head, croctch, armpits etc...)
Okay... enough for this post...

Any time is a perfect time for reevaluating, thinking, changing. It keep us young, happy, vibrant. Nothing wrong with a refresh of the blog, a refresh of your life, your career, outside interests. I think it's valuable to keep our minds, hearts, and lives new and alive.

That's interesting to hear you've been involved with the TV business.
What the Kelly on the radio said is very true. I wanted to go into broadcast or print journalism when I graduated back in June. I filled out several applications. It's not going to happen partly because it is a difficult business to get into, hence focusing on teaching. Anyways, the question I saw over and over on applications was "do you have a blog?" I quickly started up a blog of samples of my work, as well as one that includes food and product reviews, which is something that I enjoy just to keep up and keep practicing writing.

I never got into FaceBook because I love reading blogs too much...(Well, that and the former "stalker" incident when I used to have a webcam on another site.)
Besides that, I don't want to spend all my free time in front of a computer. I do that all day at work...

I think you're right about FB pulling people away from blogging. I also think you're right about people finding their way back. There is just something about blogging. MySpace was all the rage too for a while there, but it died out. So will FB and I think blogging will still be around. Now I need to get my butt in gear and return to mine. I think it's neat the direction you are turning to. You are very creative.
