Blogging for life

You know, sometimes I have to wonder what I'm doing here. Here as in this website. This blog. I started blogging, or as it was back then, simply keeping an online journal? I forget when I actually started to use the word "blog" but it goes back more than five years to when I (very!) briefly had a livejournal account. However, I didn't really realize just how big and intense the whole "blogging" industry has gotten until last year. It was then that I decided to reorganize my priorities. I turned my blog from simply being a journal of my thoughts, dreams, wishes, complaints and self-deprecating thoughts into something more formal. I figured I'd focus less on my own self and more on the outside, doing things like reviews of movies and music, uploading photos and actual things people cared about. An everything blog! But whenever I go and actually read other people's blogs, mine feels so out of place.

For example, a month or so ago I found a site called 20-something Bloggers. Essentially, it's a social networking site for... 20something bloggers. People in their 20s who have blogs that can connect with other people. I haven't explored the site more because, again, whenever I have, I stumble upon what I find to be a fun interesting blog that has some sort of a niche. Fun stories, antidotes, events of the day, or whatever. Mine seems so random and general. I've thought about abolishing it all over again (yet... again! 3? 4 times?) and starting over with a new focus but, well, I figure I haven't found any blogs like mine. Why fit the mold? I do mine simply for the sake of writing. Some people like to hear themselves talk. I like to see myself write. I focus on music and movie reviews, but I also incorporate other things such as my own plans, travels, things I want and desire, and maybe a fun story here or there. I actually do have a list of maybe 30 or 40 stories I could tell should I ever decide to come up with a fun-stories blog like all of those other ones out there. But you know what? I'm saving those for a special occasion. But I promise that when they surface, they will be fun...!
