So in my search for how to write or even navigate blogs I searched the web and came up with some different understandings of blogs. I have come to not like the personal type of blogs unless I really know the person or the people that are being talked about in the blog in some way shape or form. The blogs that I did like and recognize with the most are the business or commercial blogs about celebrities, or the ones that had some inside to a trade or hobby that I love. In the blog, The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs I read the different posts of how he feels about different subjects and also that he was influenced on more then one occasion to change or omit his blog to satisfy his readers. http://www.fakesteve.net/ . The link provided brings you to the blog but the last entry which is a poem dedicated to Steve Jobs and his life inspired my to want to improve life and make the world a better, more perfect place. In the poem, it was even said that "Your name, old friend, is the definition of hope. Not literally, I mean, not if you look up “hope” in the dictionary, but you know what I’m trying to say." this to me means that we as a society has lost someone who showed most of us the light that is imaginative and to create beyond what we already know. Steve Jobs will be miss.
On the other hand, TMZ blog really made me realize that I hate people who chase and follow hard working people just because they are famous. Do not get me wrong not saying I did not like the blog just saying that stalking even for paparazzi should be illegal. I do like seeing my favorite stars doing interviews, but to catch them outside of their house or leaving a shop is a little overkill in every sense. http://www.tmz.com/ In the sense that I do not like them I also love them. The standards in America for what makes for news is becoming more of an entertainment then for actually getting people what is really going on. You can not turn on a T.V. without seeing death in every other "news" story. T.V. has ruined life and I think everyone needs to turn it off and go outside for even an hour a day even if it is just for a walk.
Lastly, I would like to talk about these so called "Bloggies." Why is there an award ceremony for something that is for people to read? This is the exact problem with media always trying to make money or give awards for something that should be harmless and fun. If my blog goes viral meaning over a million hits I DO NOT want any recognition I just want to let people know what I am thinking and how things affect us as humans. I will keep my language age appropriate, but I will also tell the truth about anything and everything I see, hear, and read. If anyone has any stories they would like reviewed I will gladly accept anything and give a review and my opinion and honesty about it. In conclusion, I want people to know anything I say and do in my blog I will also do and say in person, no I am not picking any fights or challenging anyone this is just who I am and I appreciate everyone who has read or will read my blog thank you and have a wonderful week.
Interesting discussion on these various blogs and good attempt to infuse both personality and information into a post. A bit more editing at the sentence level would help take this post to the next level.
