Entry #1 Blogging, Blogger, Blogee

   Blogging is something that everyone around me seems to do. I used to think that having a facebook or twitter is enough, but I guess not. I'm seeing more and more of my friends posting on facebook, "go look at my new blog!" "I'm documenting my new adventures and motherhood!" I honestly am intrigued by all of these. Even if I was never interested in my friend from preschool's life before, I suddenly am now. I think there is a certain formula to creating a good blog, however, anyone with the access to internet can most certainly create one. 
Here's me talking about blogs whilst writing a blog...

    I'm not the kind of person to go around and search for cool!, new!, and hip! blogs. I definitely was a tumblr kid in high school, so I get it, but I'll most likely only keep up on a blog if it's a friends, or about dogs. The blog "Crusoe the Celebrity Dachshund" does exactly that. It's a hilarious blog about dog adventures, and reminds of a real life adaptation of "dog with a blog" would be. I'm mainly there for the cute aesthetic of this dog, but his blog entries are pretty funny too. 

    The type of blog that I'll never click on are political blogs, and blogs that don't have a nice layout. Eschaton is exactly that. My eyes have a hard time following what's going on, on the page. It's honestly quite annoying. It's like this blog is only here to make money because they're are ads covering the entire page. The sidebars make no sense. Are they other blog entries? How is this something that helps organize the blog. On top of that, the blog entries don't even make sense. I really can not tell if this is something serious, or a joke. Just look and see how ridiculous this blog is. 

    The kind of blog I aspire to have, is a more simple kind of blog. I don't like it when there is so much going on, your eyes can't follow. The blog, Gorilla Vs. Bear is a really good example of what I would like to have, if I was more tech savvy. It reminds me of what my old tumblr actually looked like, but better. It's more of a music type blog, which I intend on focusing this blog on, however I don't want to put myself into a box, so each blog will just be a new surprise, I guess.

    I like you take on blogs but couldn't what we do on social media be considered blogging or vlogging in some way?

Entry #10 I Swear Musicals Aren't That Boring

Image
Since I've spent most of this blog talking about music, I really just wanted to share a bunch of different types of musicals with you. I know a lot of people find musicals pretty boring, but I feel like those people just haven't found the right one to watch. I mean there's a musical for everything. There's Spongebob the Musical, which I kind of find stupid, but I mean, if you find squarepant humor funny, I'm sure you'd fine this to be great. There's also Shrek the Musical which by the way is on Netflix and then there's even a Spiderman the Musical where someone actually died during a stunt right before the performance.  Cartoon creators of South Park, Family Guy, The Simpsons, use musical numbers as comedy all the time. At one point in family guy, it seemed as though every other episode had some type of catchy and amusing performance. The creators of South Park love musicals so much that they actually wrote one called, "The Boo...

Entry #11 You blogged what now?

This journey as a blogger has definitely, well been a journey. I absolutely hated the idea of this thing sitting in class that day in January. I thought I had finally won and was done with it in March and then comes the first day of English 102 and HAH! SURPRISE! You have to do it again! (insert non-verbal maniacal laugh) I pretty much died at the fact that I'd have to come up with 5 more topics for blogs. I mean the last entry I had for last semester was just a poem I had written during some recent midnight thoughts. Luckily, I had been playing a lot of piano over the break, a few minutes after you announced the fact that we had to do the blogs, my inner soul ruptured so much that it initiated a light bulb effect where I came up with the three classical music directed blogs I had this semester.  I was pretty reluctant to write these until I actually started to write them, it felt like a chore, but in all sincerity, I also kind of love it. I got into A...

Entry #2 A Legendary Composer

    If you have ever seen Star Wars then you are one of the lucky ones to listen to the epic works of John Williams. The infamous song, "Imperial March" has to be one of the most influential and widely known pieces in the world. However, did you know that this legendary song was inspired by music written in the 19th century?     Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig, Germany in 1813. Growing up, he wasn't very good at school, however he picked up a piano and started learning instantly. By the time he turned 16, He had started writing operas. Even though you have'nt heard of his name before, You have surely heard of his works.      " Here comes the bride, all dressed in white ."   You will here this tune as you watch your best friend or family member march down the isle on their wedding day. However, if you have ever attended a Catholic Wedding, you will notice that they don't play this Bridal Chorus. This is because Wagner is one of the most ...
