I can't believe (ok I can because its something I would do, but its more dramatic if I say I can't) that I missed the 1 year anniversary of my blog. The post was on October 2nd and it was sort of the little intro to my whole blog. The post is all over the place and is slightly embarrassing; the post is here if you want to read it.
It seems that the first paragraph has "come true" in a sense. I mean...what has really changed? Because its nice to know that people read my blog and I'm also a little vain I decided to again check the statistics on my blog and... well its basically outlined in that first paragraph.
But to be more optimistic, looking at it I've really changed. Looking at my first post ever was real neat, its cool to see what I was like back then, and how I've developed as a person and as a writer. Yea its probably a big leap to say semi-different writing style = change in personality, but I can say that because... well its me. I'm really the only one that knows if I've truly changed right?
But yea, its nice to see that I've changed, for the better I might add. Its heartening to know that even if it was just a little bit, in some way I've grown and that I can continue to grow.
And... well I figure that I might as well address this because sooner or later I'm going to have to, and its kind of veiled in my first paragraph, so... lets talk 'bout Tumblr.
Literally everyone I know has switched from Blogspot -> Tumblr and... I suppose its a weird feeling being left alone. I've seen Tumblr and I must admit, its very fancy and more visually appealing when compared to Blogspot. Despite this, I'm not going to switch to Tumblr anytime soon.
It might be a little bit of the nonconformist in me telling me "Row row fight the powa!", but for the most part I feel like switching to Tumblr would make me a convenience more than anything else. I mean, I just made it easier for people to read my blog, but... was it really that hard in the first place? Its something along the lines of "look, you know I have a blog and I told you that the link is on my Facebook so its kinda on you to read it or not" yaknow?
Switching for other people's convenience is kinda silly. Think of it this way, if someone doesn't read my blog because I write really long posts (which I think is the case for someone) does that mean I should make my posts shorter? This feels like an anti-Tumblr tirade so I'm just going to stop here.
On a more happy note, happy belated birthday sir blog!
It might not be the right time, I might not be the right one
