So here it is, after nearly a year (and I am cutting it close) of not blogging I have decided to pick it up again. Let’s begin with two subjects, why I stopped, and why I decided to try it again.
Let’s just agree, I am pretty awesome, especially when it comes to writing, and maybe also just a little bit sarcastic. So why would I take an opportunity to share my writing ability with the masses and shove it up the ummm… butt... of society? Simple, while my other posts verge on the thin line between personal and public diary, I feel that if I am allowing the public into every teeny tiny aspect of my life, then what am I leaving for myself in the end. This made me realize that a blog doesn’t need to be a public diary, just like your Facebook status doesn’t need to be a confessional. Just stop and think which blogs get more hits, the ones that reveal the mundane daily whiny events of the everyday complainer, or the ones that tell a story, of advice, love, ideas and hope. I’ll take option B for 1000 Alex.
If it truly is the latter than it is just that reason that I am bringing my blog back up. In about 2 or so months I will be leaving on a 48 week 48 state road trip. This trip will hopefully be reaching thousands of people, if this is the result than I would rather have people learn about the positives that life has to offer rather than the negatives in my personal life that I myself would rather not deal with.
So here is the new schedule of events for the blog, I will try to blog daily, with breaks on the weekends. To start with Monday will be Music Mondays, an idea I will have to credit to Kelsey Bigelow, Tuesdays will be Tutu Tuesdays. Dance pieces I like and upcoming ideas I have for future ones of my own. Wednesdays will be writing my life away Wednesdays where I make a written observation of the world. Thursdays, Philanthropic Thursdays, even though it doesn’t start with a T I needed a day that I could post about a different charity every week so that way people reading my blog will have an opportunity to help those in need. And finally Fun tastic Fridays, where I will post a feel good article, funny youtube video or a story that will make your week substantially better, that way you’ll figure out that there is always something fun a positive in the week to look forward to.
That’s the plan and I hope that more people will tune in to my thoughts and hopefully those who do will tell their friends.
See you tomorrow, for the first of many Music Mondays.
