My Blog/Blogosphere Essay

My blog was created with the concept of addictions. I had planned on devoting my blog to things that I had found addicting and I manage to in the most part. I found websites and video games that keep MY attention and keeps it for long periods of time. You can ask my girlfriend. Call of Duty is the devil as far as she is concerned. I tried to make my blog aesthetically pleasing by adding a Batman: The Dark Knight template, a popular movie by anyone’s standards.
Later, my blog turned into a plug center for my videos that I wanted to get views for on my Youtube page. Whether or not that was the reason my video now has over ten thousand views is no matter. I also fell victim to needing posts due to grade issues and maybe put down some “thrown together” blog posts just to get something on the page for my grade.
I could not decide between two posts as my favorite. The first being the blog post about a site called Sporcle.com. I had just heard about the site the day I posted on the blog. I think this made it easier to post and easier to roll with it. I was so excited about the site and just let that excitement flow into the blog post. Being in moods really adds to your blog posts. People can tell what mood you are in through your page.
The second post I thought was tied for the best was my blog about my top ten favorite shows. I think I posted it on a Tuesday so I did not even need a blog post. The post kind of just came to me. I was watching Arrested Development and was thinking about how many people probably didn’t even know about the show. It was on for three seasons. So, I thought I would get the word out and not just about Arrested Development but also about some of my other favorite shows. I have so many. I like this blog post because it, more than any, gives a close look at myself and my personality. I think you can really tell a lot about a person from which shows they watch. The list included a balanced mix of serious and comedic shows.
The blogosphere, to me, completely makes sense. It is right there in the name. BlogoSPHERE. Spheres are circular and that is exactly how I think the blogosphere works. Blog sites and blog rolls create an inner connective community. Blogs are so open that anybody can drop in, read, and share. You don’t need a membership or any money. It is an online journal that you want other people to read. It is a site all your own where you are in control and you say what matters. I don’t know the facts, but I think you can probably follow a blog roll through to reach almost anybody and then trace it all the way back to your blog. The circular properties coming back into play.

Weird Dream

Last night I had a strange dream where my friend Brad ,who doesn't go to Ball State but did in my dream, and I decided to ride bikes from Washington to Ball State which is 4 hours in a car. Well, we stopped about half way and then my mom came to pick me up and then some employee from gamefly was with her and handed me some Sonic game for the 360. I told him angrily that I have had Resident Evil 5 on my list for 3 weeks and still haven't received it and then I woke up.

Bob Loblaw

So I was thinking about my favorite tv shows and I'm sure many of you were wondering what they are. Don't lie. You were. So here are my top ten.
1. Scrubs - best show ever created by anyone ever. mixes the perfect amount of funny and serious moments to take your heart and mind to new places
2. Arrested Development - It's like scrubs set in a household and starring a family
3. Flight of the Conchords - two new zealanders make up the folk band of Flight of the Conchords and try to make it here in America... HILARIOUS! both the songs and the skits.
4. America's Best Dance Crew - best talent search show. epic dancing with a different theme every episode. they found the jabbawockeez
5. Heroes - I didn't believe it would be good and this year my roomate made me watch it with him and its pretty damn sweet. although i started in the third season its all good. easy to pick up
6. American Idol - i like music. and if watching this show makes me gay, then so be it. there are some talented people.
I know i said ten but you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. lesson learned.
