Blog vs. Vlog

okay. here's the deal. i am a HORRIBLE blogger. i'm not consistent and when i DO post, it's mostly just pictures......sorry. but thats another thing. i don't know what i'm apologizing for. this blog is mostly a form of 'online journal' for me to go back and look at and read. sorry to the four of you that read this blog...but this isn't about you. =)

i don't really watch tv. the tv i DO watch comes from netflix or hulu (thank you internet), so instead of watching tv, i watch youtube videos. "lame lame lame". yeah, thank you voice inside my head. but the thing i love about youtube is that it is SO individual. i mean, it's kind of a type of blogging...there are text blogs (like this one...sometimes), photo blogs, critic blogs, etc. but youtube is a kind of blog for videos. a lot of them are stupid, some make me cry, some make me think and some...well yeah. but over the course of watching youtube (i'd say maybe 2 years?) i discovered this thing called vlogging. video+blogging. there are lots of ways people vlog - travel vlogs, home-video type vlogs, talk-about-my-feelings vlogs, and opinion vlogs. but one of my favorites (besides the travel vlogs) are the sit-down-and-just-talk-to-the-camera vlogs.

i kind of want to start doing a vlog. not an elaborate, fancy, look-what-i-can-do vlog, but an i-just-want-to-talk-about-whatever-the-hell-i-wanna-talk-about vlog. laugh if you want, but i have a feeling that it would work out better for me than this sit-down-and-type blog arrangement. i have no idea if it will work but i just wanna try it out. =) call it a kind of summer goal.
