On A More Serious Note...

My past two posts have been me expressing my immaturity by posting two news headlines that could be interpreted as "dirty." What happened to all the serious posts? Election talk, commentary on sports, and even random ranting?

Maybe blogs aren't all serious, or some even serious at all, but there needs to be more than just "haha, look what I found!" posts, and that's where The Blender 2.0 comes in.

The layout will stay the same, but the blog will be updated with more consistency. I'm striving for at least one daily post, ranting about whatever is on my mind for that day. Other posts, such as "Video of the Day," and "Links I Occasionally Visit Sometimes," will be posted as often as I can, and even newer features will come to this blog. Once I think of them.

So that's it for now, keep coming back to check up on The Blender, comment, subscribe, and tell your friends.

The First Book Post

So carrying around this little book that i talked about last post has actually mildly payed off. While waiting for the bus outside Plamondon metro earlier tonight, I actually started writing. But because i was interrupted by a friend not too long after I started, my "post," was interrupted. Anyways, here it is:

I Hate Rain - 8:44 pm
"Piece of shit weather. I hate rain. I also hate public transportation, especially at night, when you just want to get home already. Even during the day it sucks. I was standing next to this one guy on the bus this morning, and he actually smelled like a garbage bag. No exaggeration. To make things even worse for me (and the other passengers,) his arm was raised, so we were getting the full whiff. Straight outta that commercial a few years back."

And that's it. Pretty short, but I had barely started writing before the friend showed up. Had he not, I prob could've ranted a bit more about how much I hate the STM at night, and maybe thought of some other stuff. But I don't exactly remember how I was feeling at that exact moment, so maybe next time.

At least I'm not carrying around the book for nothing?

I'm Really Cool...

If some of you think that's me, then you must be hilariously stupid. It's Michelle Trachtenberg, the female lead in Eurotrip, back in her days as Harriet The Spy. So why is this relevant? Good question.

Most of the time when i write blog posts (like now,) It's because I'm sitting at my computer, bored, and decide: "why not? I have nothing better to do." But now, thanks to a little notebook i found in my house, I'll be able to do that all the time! Woo-hoo! (Wow Jamie is so cool...)

Basically I'll be keeping this book (it's blue,) in my bag with me at all times, at least during the day. Whenever I feel the need to write a little something, I'll whip out the book and write. Next time I get in front of a computer I'll simply just type it up into a blog post.

This won't be a diary or a journal, and I won't be spying on people, but having the book with me at all times... at least during the school day, will give me a chance to write some stuff down when i see random ass shit (like the guy sitting alone, without a shirt on, with no books, in the Library today.)

And that's about it for now.

Peace Out Logo, Template

Yes, I am talking to a no longer existing logo, who of course cannot respond. Sometime, when I get bored, I make irrational technological changes. One time I deleted everyone from my MSN list that I hadn't spoken to in the last three days. One time I gave up using MSN or MySpace for a month (oh MySpace...) Another time, this time, I got bored and changed my layout.

I know, I'm a rebel.

Basically, I'll admit I'm not the greatest writer, but I need practice, and that's why I have The Blender, with it's new motto (see top of page) replacing the old one "When you put every topic you can imagine into a blender, this is what comes out." This motto change makes the title utterly irrelevant, like when the Minneapolis Lakers moved to L.A. (where there are almost no lakes,) or the New Orleans Jazz moving to Utah (that has no Jazz scene at all to my knowledge. It would be like the Canadiens moving to Maine and keeping their name, but I don't care I still did it.

Does it really matter anyway? How many people at there actually read this blog. I pretty much write this as an online journal of sorts, just not as personal I guess. I've been teased for writing about certain things in the past, but really, since when do I care what people think?

If that were true I would shave more then once every full moon, exercise, and maybe spend more than 37 seconds choosing an outfit for the day. But I guess that's the sometime beauty of being a guy. I can't speak for all women, but from what I've heard learned form my female friends, women care a lot more about what people think of them than men do.

But if they didn't they wouldn't shave their legs, so let's be thankful they do.

It's About F&*%$@g Time!

This has taken too long. I've procrastinated for months now, putting off writing more for this blog. It started off as occasional writing, and now I don't even write at all. So on that note, I'm announcing the resurrection of The Blender.

The Blender, which was written most frequently this March, had a brief uprising in May before it's death. Now, with the school year starting and more motivation as ever, this blog will start actually becoming what it should be, a blog. Daily postings talking about anything from sports, to politics, to world news and more, will be posted, as well as new kinds of features which will be revealed soon.

And the beauty of it, for me at least, is that I'm killing two birds with one metaphorical stone. By writing this blog I allow myself to improve my writing, (because "practice makes perfect,") and hopefully give my readers, however few they may be, a chance to inform and enjoy themselves.

And with that I'm off, don't forget to check back often.

Back to the Basics

It has been weeks, months even, since my last blog post, and I'm sure you've all been suffering. Anyways I was really busy with school and all, but now that that's essentially done with school, I'll have a lot more free time.

A lot more free time to do what I like to do best, writing. You see, I want to be a journalist, and if I want to become a better writer, there's only one way; Practice.

So that's what this blog will serve as from now on, (with way more postings, daily if possible.) I'll cover whatever is on my mind at the time, from sports to politics and more, so stay tuned and check back often.
