It's Only Right

Hello to you.

I really wonder who is actually going to read this. What does it take to the make a blog or an open diary or something like this 'successful'? Do I have to post three times a day and dedicate myself to my blog? That seems a little unnecessary in order to carry on a normal life. It's almost unfathomable to think of the people who become celebrities because of their blogs. I occasionally watch a YouTube channel - sxephil, and he basically reads the news and gives odd headlines. But I guess it's the way he spins it that makes him so liked. I also came across a blog not to long ago, called 'style rookie' about a girl named Tavi, I think, who is 13, and is already a fashion mogul! It's incredible what the internet has done for the world.

But at the same time. It makes me feel insignificant. I will agree that YouTube is a great thing for our generation and that it's making an entire new series of superstars. On the other hand, it takes away from the luster of being local and being great. No longer can you be the kid who's best friend's sisters aunt's cousin knows because he can play all of Stairway to Heaven. There's always someone on YouTube who can do it better, and is probably younger.

So if you've paid attention and actually read this far, then I congratulate you. I am impressed that my banter has maintained your attention span for so long. Thus, I thank you.

I think that because of YouTube it's cause people like me to try and stand out less, at fear of feeling inferior. So I try and take pride in the little things, like when someone has a picture I took as their profile picture on Facebook, or something I said as their status.

Like yesterday, I sent this girl I know an honesty box message, and it read:

"You have a great personality and good tastes in music (In my humble opinion), but I think you need to step out of the shadows and stop following everyone else. Be you! No one sees this personality! Like the things you like, not what you're suppose to like because it's trendy. Step up and stand out. The diamond in the rough has to sparkle someday."

And today I noticed that the last line was her status. It gives me a warm feeling inside that you've actually helped someone and made them happier somehow. And that's pretty cool.

So this whole blog thing is kinda getting on my nerves; anytime I go to a new page, and then come back, I have to change my font size. Pain in the ass.

I think that's all I'm gonna say for now. My house is being filled with pesticides right now because my roommates are disguting and we have ants! Yay. So I am a refugee at my girlfriend's house. Thank goodness she likes me.
