My First Blogging Experience

Ok, technically this isn’t my first blog, but whatever.  I haven’t found creating a blog to be very difficult.  In fact it is pretty fun.  I was a little surprised at how easy it is, not only to write for the blog, but also to add things to the blog like videos and pictures.  It gives me a lot of ideas for future blog posts.  This blogging experience has changed how I view bloggers as well.  It is such an easy medium for someone to put his or her opinions out there, and it has shown me that bloggers are really just regular people who thought, “Hey, I want to say something.”  Before I even realized it I had 100 words down and I was still going.  I can also see how blogging is similar to Facebook.  It’s quick and easy to post my thoughts, basically anybody can read what I wrote, and they can give me there opinion as easily as I posted mine.

Blogging is a little scary though.  Any random troll could come and rip me a new one in the comments, but that’s just part of the fun.  Honestly I’m tempted to use this blog as a means to rant about random stuff that ticks me off, and it’s also tempting to just spit BS.  It’s not like I have to fact check myself, but I’m pretty sure my readers would call me out if I start blatantly lying.  I think my favorite part of this blogging thing is that I can just start writing.  I don’t really feel confined right now.  I can just say what I think, and I think that is awesome.  So I hope you all enjoy my blog, and I hope to be insightful, lighthearted, and funny.

Oh and just for fun I added a cool picture. (figured I’d start messing with the special features on day 1 ;)
