First of all.

I decided to create a blog. I figure it's way less trendy than something like Twitter, since blogging itself has been around for a while. I have facebook, but there's nowhere for me to just write. Sometimes you just feel like typing, you know?

I used to write on this website called JamsBio, where you could pick a song, artist or album and write a memory or review about it. I loved that site. Every now and then they (the editors, I suppose) would pick a post to be "Post of the Week." I had the PotW twice. That's not entirely why I wrote, but it certainly felt nice for someone to recognize the content or style of the post was halfway decent. Sometimes a pat on the back from someone you don't know is just what you need. Especially if you love writing as much as I do.

I consider it a weird form of exercise. It's something I do when I'm frustrated, procrastinating or content. I've always done it, I have copies of old journals at home on my bookshelf from the fourth grade. I never worry about how I sound in the writings, it's just to write. I don't think many people do that.

So this little outlet replaces my poor JamsBio, which has been shut down to the public, denying me a writing post. I'll write here, and if I like a particular post, I'll give myself a Post of the Week merit. Suck on that, JamsBio.
