I've always been on the fence about blogs and what to write, what not to write, what's interesting and what isn't. So far my blog has mostly been about my writing which is ironic because I'm always so secretive about it. Pretty much anything that goes onto the internet stays there for practically ever, so I've always been so careful on what to put on it. I mean, I don't want people to take my ideas right?
Blogs are pretty much an online diary and a "secret" place to vent without nosy brothers snooping through my things looking for a book with my inner most secrets or even my mom, though she wouldn't do something like that. It's also a place where I can say anything I want because it doesn't matter who reads this thing or not. It's like a friend who'll always listen without talking back or adding in its two cents. This isn't to discredit my friends now, it's just that sometimes I'd like someone to listen to everything I have to say, without interrupting me in the middle of it, or not letting me talk at all.. (Trust me, both have happened.)
I love my friends dearly but sometimes even they are unreliable. They're always off doing something else without inviting me, or never let me talk, or when I do, they don't actually hear what I have to say. It's annoying to say the least, but hey, they're my friends so I must like them somehow right?
Mostly, when I read other people's blogs, they're talking about the things most important to them like an important marathon, how they're keeping in shape, their kids, book reviews, or just how they're day is going. Some funny, some not, some informative, some not. But what I like most is that they're so passionate and committed to what they're writing. I haven't written a blog post in so many months and it's sad. It's like why did I start one in the first place? I honestly don't know. Maybe it's just my insatiable appetite for writing and how I seriously can't stop, even if I wanted to.
Last night/this morning, I was watching The Newsroom, an awesome new series by Aaron Sorkin and I couldn't help thinking about my blog and how if I can't even commit to it, then how am I supposed to be committed to my writing of books or eventual short stories? It sort of makes me a hypocrite, no? So then I finally decided what I should write about, something that I'm addicted to like TV shows and movies. I am a complete, unapologetic junkie when it comes to movies and TV shows. I will literally stay up until 8 in the morning, sometimes even 11 just watching them. I know this doesn't exactly set me apart from any other Joe Average who sits up and watches TV all day, but among my friends, I'm considered a real freak.
And the problem with that is that I can never talk to anyone about it because no one watches the shows or movies I watch and I can never fully discuss it. So I'm going to embrace my freak flag and talk to myself, via this blog, practically about anything I want. About TV shows I'm enjoying, no matter how late in the game I've gotten to it, about movies I'm digging no matter how much no one likes it, dissecting trailers and why it works or doesn't, and even songs I'm crazy about like Somebody I Used to Know by Gotye (I won't even tell you how long I've been mispronouncing that name!)
I don't promise correct grammer, up to date TV shows, or that anyone will agree with what I have to say. But I like to write, I like watching TV, why not combine the both of them? So this is Nic's Island 2.0, all TV/songs, all the time. I'll be here all week, writing whenever I want, and I may even write two or three posts in one day. There's just so many shows and songs, I'm not entirely sure I can keep up. But there's a lot of space so why don't I attempt it and see what happens? Yeah? Sounds good? Sounds good to me too. And yes, I am talking to myself. So what?
Enjoy the song! I know I do. The video is a little weird, but that's okay, because the song is just so awesome. I don't know why I like it so much but when I eventually write about it, I'll dissect it then!
