And So It Begins...

My Beginning

Oh yay! This will be fun, I don't really know how blogging works. I don't really care much though. I feel like so many people want to create blogs or make videos to benefit from them. While I also believe that's okay for some people to do it when it's for the correct reasons, I also believe it's silly just to do it for popularity and money. Okay, I am going to express my feelings now, brace yourselves. Well.. that is if someone is reading this. Last summer I decided that I was going to start making Youtube videos because I was subscribed to several "Beauty Gurus" on Youtube and I figured why not give it a try? I kept up with it for a couple of weeks and then I decided to "retire." What I noticed though is that people are tired of seeing new beauty gurus. To be honest I hate that term so from now on I will no longer say it, or at least try. So anyway, I noticed it was annoying to see so many people trying so hard and just following a trend. Pretty much uploading what they thought would get the most views or the post comments, likes, etc. When The Hunger Games premiered you best believe Youtube was FLOODED with "Katniss side braids." Now that was awkward because for the thousands of us more lazy girls that did our hair like that daily to save time, etc. it now seemed like we wanted to "bandwagon" the trend. Damn it! The fact that so many people were creating those videos, in my opinion, weren't really doing it because they loved the book or the hairstyle but simply to get views and ratings. I thought that was unjust and not fair to the viewers or readers. These trends and hypes made my decision to not make a single video more much easier. I did however make one review. A review on the camera I had so proudly bought to make good quality videos in the first place. I was so excited with the camera at the moment that I just wanted to share my love for it with the world or anyone that wanted to know about it. I also noticed that while I was researching about it only there weren't that many good reviews about it, or that I didn't like the reviews at all because they were missing something I really wanted to know about the camera. I figured if I was the viewer I would like to see this this this and this and to be told about the battery life, the picture and video quality, to show me a picture and a video clip, the sound and so on. These were so many things people didn't speak about. So, I decided to review the camera and speak about every single thing I wanted to hear about or be aware about before buying the camera. I did just that, and it turns out that video has more comments, views, likes, and messages than any of my other ones. At that moment I realized that was because I was genuine in that video. I really was sharing my thoughts on something I loved, not just uploading something because I thought people would like to see it. So today I decided to start blogging. I'm not doing this for millions to read my blogs or watch any videos I post. I am doing this for me, to liberate any thoughts, concerns, happiness, and things that go on in my life. It will be like a diary, well an open diary to share with others. I will post and make videos about what I want, what I love, and what I feel like posting because I enjoy it. I will not do anything because another Youtuber or blogger has millions of views and comments. I will do what I please because I want to do it. I am my own person and I don't ever want to be one of the bunch of people who are all the same. I am a unique individual like each and everyone one of us is. So if anyone out in this huge internet world is reading my blogpost you can count on my sincerity and complete honesty, rants, and much more to come.. but all of that will be ME. Not anyone else, not a combination, not double, and sure as hell not a wannabe. I'm going now, I have nothing else to share except how to keep the colors on your clothes for longer so when you wash them they don't loose their color and how to remove blood stains and other stains from clothes. The things my Biology professor teaches me amaze me.. oh science I love you.-Jocie <3
