Blogs and Such Things

Hmmph. I guess I have free time on my hands now, so I can think about stuff like:

I just signed up for a Blogger account (ya know, it's like LiveJournal, but way better -- at least they won't ask you for your credit card information just to "verify that you are at least 13 years old), so now what do I do with it?

Start writing, I know. But what do I want to write about? Personal things? Social commentary? Random? All of the above? Who will read it? Do I want anyone reading it? I am already (very) active on the MySpace blog space, so why do I need another blog space? I already have an audience on MySpace, so would it be as effective to move my audience to Blogger?

Oh, these are tough questions, indeed.

After some deliberation, this is what I came up with:

Ok.

So today, I don't know which screw in my head came loose, but I decided 1) to set up my Google Homepage and 2) to sign up for a Blogger account.

Let's focus on the Blogger thing for a moment.

I already have a MySpace account with a very active blog going. So why would I want to sign up for a Blogger account? Well, I think there are a couple of reasons for doing this.

First, I want to actually start writing my "book". Since I now have all sorts of time I never had, I think it's time for me to at least get the ball rolling, or else it never will. I just want to make sure about copyrights and stuff like that. I don't want people copying off of me. Or is that even a huge issue at all? I don't really know.

Second, I want to start a blog about social commentaries. No, it's not an advice blog. I want this to be a good one with something substantial and tangible. Not that I don't like feelings and stuff like that. It's just that I want to express my ideas about the world, that's all. So I think I'm going to start by commenting on the articles I am reading now (basically reading from a class years ago that I never read). I will also include current news commentaries, but that might be later. One step at a time.

As a note, my personal things are still going to stay on MySpace, since I already have a steady readership, and I know that my things will be kept private. It's a comfort thing.

I just hope that one day, I'll be able to do a photo blog – I like pictures.
