Back!

Frankly, I miss blogging.  So I'm back. Also, if you haven't already seen on my youtube page, I'm starting to video blog.

I sort of thought that video blogging would satisfy my need to post carp on the web, but it just doesn't.  Because vlogging presents such a different challenge.  Obviously since blogging is text-based that means I can't stutter, or mispronounce words, or sneeze in the middle of a thought.  It's not live, so I get to slow down and think about what I'm trying to say.  I get to sound smart and articulate (at least I hope I'm sounding articulate!).  Vlogging, on the other hand, means that you have to put on clothes before you post (I realize you don't have to but it's the decent thing to do).  It's a visual medium - now as a vlogger I'm automatically an actor.  I'm monologuing. And I dunno why, but I don't like to edit my vlogs, I like to post one take without any cuts.  It feels more "raw" or "live" that way.  So it limits how much I can say without laughing or stumbling over words.  So if I have any ideas for lists I'll post them on here, and my vlog is mainly going to include updates about my life.
