Entering the Blogosphere

I have never been much of a blogger. I've always enjoyed looking at other people's blogs and seeing what they have to say about anything, especially for people who have traveled extensively or who like to plan events or trips.

Well, now I am officially a part of the blogosphere, and my niche is the "Hobbyist". I am part of the 61% of bloggers who blog about whatever they want to, basically whatever they find interesting at that time. So after reading the article on Techonorati, I learned a few essential things about blogging.
  • As a Hobbyist, I should be more concerned with being personally satisfied with what I am blogging about and having to do with something I'm interested in. I want people to enjoy what I write about, but ultimately, I just want to be able to speak my mind.
  • I will be more successful with my blog if I blog frequently. According to Technorati, people usually start a blog and then fade out within 5 to 6 months. People who forget or are not wanting to blog will not be successful.
  • Blogging for businesses is very handy. Although I am not blogging for any company, just for my class and own satisfaction, I still think that the business tactic of having a blog updated frequently is pretty cool. Maybe later in life that will be a way will go, but for now, I'll just be posting whatever I want!
So for the next few months, I will be posting for my own entertainment, and hopefully for other people's entertainment as well!

Top 5 Favorite Shows

It may not be a good thing, but I love television, and I love following good shows. Once I start a good show I don't stop until I am completely caught up and know everything about the characters and what the plot line is. It may sound like a waste of time, and I could be doing better things like studying or doing more studying. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I sit in front of a television set in a catatonic state, but hey, I like to relax and watch my favorite shows. My favorite shows are:
  1. Friends: My all time favorite. Hands down. I own all the seasons on DVD and I've seen all the episodes countless times. They still make me laugh. You tell me a quote from the show, and I'll know what episode it came from. 
  2. How I Met Your Mother: I just recently started watching this show, and I love it so much. It's hilarious. That's all there is to it. I'm addicted.
  3. The Office: So, so funny. It's a classic as far as I'm concerned.
  4. Gilmore Girls: I've seen all of the episodes. They are so witty and intelligent, and they can eat more than anyone could ever do in real life and still keep their figures. It's also pretty dramatic, which is pretty cool too.
  5. Modern Family: This show makes me laugh every time I see it. Phil is the best. 
And that's it, although there are probably going to be more in the future.

Introductory Post

This is my first blog post ever so this is new territory for me, but I'm looking forward to learning more about blogging and posting about whatever I want! I'm still learning the layout of everything, but I've always wanted to have a blog, so this is a good start and I want to keep up with it, so we'll see how this goes!
