It’s been a while since I blogged about my own thoughts for a while. I have come to a realisation, that while I can be indecisive at times, i enjoy doing and being a part of many things. I’m seriously a jack of all trades and master of none. Not something to proud of and barely anything that one can call achievable. I dabble here and there in different things but I concentrate a lot on my time as a performer. However I’ve always preferred if i was good at just one thing love it and that’s it.
Rambling on. I’ll focus on the purpose of this post.
See I’ve got a number of blogs now. But there are two in particular that I’m concentrating on a lot now. One being of course aronil.com and another my latest one linoralow.com. I’ve spent a fair amount of time with blogging communities (not a lot to the point i’m online all day but close enough) and even on a face to face value not just virtually. Some of the bloggers then beceom good friends of mine. However i barely get to do just that much as I’m always busy now… yeah time for yourself gets a lot different.
At one point I thought i got the whole business of what and why i blog down pat. There are number of reasons why I would blog, but what is the core purpose of my blog? Will it be a benefit to myself? Especially when there are tons of marketing and making money ways on the net. Or will it be a benefit for the people who read my blog. I don’t believe that you can have the best of both worlds when you blog. Blogging takes time and you need to garner just about the right amount of attention to your blog to even consider it succesful. What i mean by successful is when you have 100s if not 1000s of unique visitors on a daily basis. It is when people will just naturally go to your blog to read up because they wanna know whats happening or if they are busybody they wanna know whats going on with you. You will have a number of comments but good quality ones where you can discuss something with others.
Yeah all that…
At one point i figured I would keep it at that, I’ll just blog about everything on me, on what I see on a daily basis. Then you start to realise that’s not possible either. Because as a blogger, (to be seriously cheesy) – ‘with some sort of power, comes great responsibility’. I’m not kidding because when you blog, your privacy and your personality is on a big open platform for the world to decipher and see. Sure not everyone would bother much about your blog – doens’t matter if they can find it or not. But what you say on your blog even if it is just your personal diary…. it matters.
Huh.. have you noticed there is an irony in that? A blog as a personal diary – how can it be personal when it’s open for the world to see. It is like putting down your thoughts on black and white which people can find and quote / paraphrase /cite you from.
I can’t exactly write about all i experience in life, because it will affect others around me. For example i may mention that not all my loved ones enjoy being written about for others to read. I’ve gotten into a number of arguments with specifically one of them. Can’t blame them either.
I guess my point, is what is the purpose of me having anything online? Which is probably why, one will see less of the posts where I blab on about silly things. I mean seriously SILLY things, and I’m going to focus more on the things that I enjoy and would like to share. I’e no longer considered much about my stats. I used to be all panicky if my stats for my site, dropped.. now.. well what can i say. Different intentions.. different feelings and cares.
To me the point of blogging, is about sharing.
But sharing what? I’ve now come to a point where I should consider what I share…
Aronil.com is still about the things that make me smile. It will just now concentrate more the artistic side of things. Like graphic designing, websites, drawings, paintings, the tools of web 2.0.. stuff like that. While Linoralow.com will be my performing arts blog and will cater more on movies, entertainment and events. It’s just easier to categorise things and while it’s fine to shove everything on one blog, but i just dislike when it loses it’s focus. So with those two blogs – hopefully figured out.. that’s my writing purpose.
