Wordpress

I love blogspot... but I am attempting to run my own locally hosted WordPress blog.

I will probably still keep this blogspot blog b/c of its ease of use...

If you get bored, you can see what I am tinkering with here.

*** EDIT:

So, I had my blog up and running... then found out I made a mistake in how I setup the database... well, not a mistake, but rather, I used a name I didnt like... haha.

So, instead of "just dealing with it", I wiped the site, and I am starting over... haha. As soon as I have time, it will be up and running. Also, because of the great storage space I am getting from DreamHost, I should also have a web gallery up and running soon.

I will let you know when that happens.... until then, keep your fingers crossed. :-)

The link will be the same.

Cool Blog

I like this site...

Privacy is for women... literally

I like that I am easy to find. I think that any person, armed with at least a small quantity of intelligence and a decent search engine could find me.

I would not advise this disposition for women... as there are a lot of really crazy/creepy men out there.

For me though, this works. I use to straddle the fence, keeping some things private, being only somewhat open about my personal identity. I was never as good as some of my acquaintances at being "totally private"...Now though, Im an open book... or rather, blog/vlog... lol.

If you have any question for me, feel free to ask. I am always up for making new friends... well, as long as you arent mean. I dont like mean people very much.

I know... I need to write more. Sorry to all. I have been painting all day yesterday and most of the day today. More blogging starting tomorrow... I pseuo-promise. (its like crossing your fingers, but only kinda)

Blogging... old school

In case you havent noticed... I am trying to mix my new-school blogging with some old-school tactics.

I wrote a post a little while ago about the original purpose of a "blog" here.

That being said... I am going to mix the two mediums. My blog now has the purpose of updating you on my thoughts, questions, and opinions on random life topics... in addition to that, however, now I am also going to share cool things across the internet that I find.

For example, today, I shared several youtube videos... adding comments to each one, to show you why I am sharing it. I think this will be a good direction for my blog to go. No worries, I am not just posting random videos that entertain me... as each has a thought or purpose (of some random sort) behind it. Trust me, I am not just looking for "fillers" here. Rather, I have finally accepted that sometimes you need more than words to convey thoughts.

So, that all being said... here is a cool link I came across today. It is another blog actually. I think you all might enjoy it.

This is a site that talks all about blogging/ cyber-social tech. Enjoy!

Sweet tunes... hehe

Enjoy... she is one of my favorites.

As a tip to the listener.... this song is best heard on LOUD.... SO CRANK IT!







There is another Paramore video I would have rather posted... but such is life, I have a conscience, so sue me.

Blogging defined

Ironically, blog is short for "web log", and it was originally created as a literal log of things on the web... The first official "blogger" simply had post after posts of things he fond on the internet that he thought was interesting... he would just post a link and a description.

Now, people like me get to corrupt the system and pretend that a "blog" is just a grown up word for "xanga" :-)

On that note, here is a video that never fails to make me laugh:
