Blog about Blogging.

     Alright so....after about the 20 minutes it took me to remember how to get to this point to type out my blog....here I am! I used to think I was pretty technology savvy, but between this and say like Diigo, I'm finding out very quickly that there's much more than just facebook and twitter out there in the social media world.
    So, I understand why some people blog-to express themselves, to be critics, to be heard-but I feel so.........awkward, I feel is the appropriate term, when I blog. Maybe it's because I've never really had anything to push me to do it, like documenting a trip or going through a traumatic illness or something. The thing is, I would love to keep this blog up...but it's like when I write in a journal, I never know how to format it...do I act like I'm writing to someone? Do I basically just give you an overview of my day? That seems boring. Right now I don't have anything I'm particular intrested in voicing my opinion about...although I just had a project due today in my Ad Techniques class about the organization Greenpeace...which I have fallen in love with (check them out: http://www.greenpeace.org/). I have this thing where I get really passionate about something (like everything this organization is about), I just have absolutely no way to carry out any action. I'm a poor college student living in Northeastern Kansas. I feel as though my abilities to make a difference right now are very minimal. But anyways...that's totally irrelevant. I would have made a video blog, but I kind of spaced on this assignment so I'm doing it in the library, and I don't really want my peers thinking I talk to myself...that would be embarrassing!!! So I'll just leave it at that and hopefully get a vlog up next time.
     CIAO, try to stay warm, all!!!
