Initial thoughts on Blogs

So I've never done anything like this before. I wrote two articles for my high school newspaper and that's about the extent of my writings available to the public. A blog seemed like something I could do without much preparation (God knows many bloggers don't). After being a user of the internet for many years and reading many different blogs on many different topics, it became clear to me that literally anyone can write a blog about literally any topic.

There are countless blogs about any topic you can think of. I'm sure everyone and their mother knows someone with a blog devoted to movies, or a blog specifically about TV shows. There are most likely people out there who know of blogs centered around knitting cats little sweaters (if you find this hypothetical blog please tell me. I am sort of interested in that). I think that is a real testament to the beauty of the internet. The internet does a lot of terrible things to society but it also can do some great things. Where else in the world can anyone of any age or demographic share their thoughts on a topic they really care about? I believe that is something truly unique to this time in history. Some people might abuse the freedom to share their opinions that a blog allows, but at the same time there are the people writing about their cat sweaters.

There are a lot of terrible things that happen in this world. The good things in this world get over shadowed by the bad more often than not. It can be hard to find the things that bring you job. That's why I support blogs 100%. They're just people sharing what they love.  It's hard to find what you love, and it's even harder to share those things to a world so interested in the bad. What brings you joy? What reminds you that this world isn't all bad? Do you talk about that often? Do you share what you find awesome in this world with others?

The point of this blog isn't to convince you that certain things are better than others, it's just a way for me to share what I enjoy about this world. Whether it be comic books, movies, TV shows, crappy reality TV, music, or anything else that crosses my mind. I don't have any master plan behind what I want to talk about, I just want to share what makes me excited about the day. What has you excited this week? This month? This year?
