Before now, I had only had one prior experience in blogging. But, to be fair, it wasn't really a success. Back when it was still popular in America, I had a Myspace account. Mostly, I wrote about sports and cars. My first ever blog post was a rant about how ridiculous lowered trucks and jacked up cars are. Compared to this experience, setting up my Myspace was really easy. Writing blogs came quite naturally to me because I have a tendency to rant, and, blogging acted as an outlet for certain things that I like to rant about... like sports and cars. Later on, it became a way to stay in touch with my friends and family along with a kind of journal that I could always go to when I had something on my mind during troubled times.
I think the difficulties I had in setting up this blog, though, stem, primarily from my frustration of having so many new accounts to keep up with that began last semester in 2100. By the end of this semester (right when I will no longer be required to keep some of these accounts active) I should be a lot less stressed about all of it. The main problem I have been having is with syncing all of my accounts together. For some reason, when I synced my Yahoo, Gmail, and Blogger accounts, my passwords all changed. But, that could very well have happened while I was in some sort of zombie like state of fatigue thanks to the stress that every new semester seems to always bring to me.
I am very direct. What you see is what you get. So, it makes sense that my avatar and posting name should reflect that. My avatar is probably pretty bland compared to what I could have done and what others may have done. But, it's me, nothing more and nothing less. I am a fairly laid back kind of guy. To be otherwise isn't very conducive to learning or educating in my opinion. My avatar was created in as close to my own image as I could get. If there is one area of my personality that I might be called a stickler about it is probably self comfort. I know what it's like to not be comfortable in my own skin, and, I don't want to feel like that again. So, I do my best to be myself in all aspects of my life which includes the creation of an electronic version of myself. I have worked long and hard to be able to answer the question of who I want to be in one word: me. I see no reason to change that even if it is just an avatar on Blogger.
