Quote of the Day

"My idol is Barbie.  She may not do anything but she looks good doing it."

Gloom

For it to be July, Los Angeles has been getting a lot of gloomy weather as show in the picture.  Every morning when I leave for school in the morning, (yes I'm in summer school by choice) it looks like that and sometimes it even drizzles a bit.

Now I am all for rain and gloom BUT, it's simply not the time for all that weather.  I want some sun if thats too much to ask for.  Thank you.

Revenge of the Bridesmaids

Where has our beloved Raven Symone been all this time???????  I haven't seen her in action since The Cheetah Girls 2 and that was back in 2006.  They didn't even have her in the third one.

But she's back I see.  She will be premiering in an ABC Family original movie 'Revenge of the Bridesmaids.'  I've been dying to see my Raven in something.  Its been far too long since she's made an appearance on the big screen.

This movie airs on July 18, 2010 on ABC Family.  Check your local listings and tune in if you're a Raven Symone stan like myself.

Miles Jacob

So on July 3rd, 2010, the day after my birthday, there was a new addition my my immediate family.  My mother had her second child.  Yes I am a BIG brother all over again.  I am so happy.  I've been wanting a maternal sibling for the longest.  While I wish I would have gotten that sibling when I was a bit younger because I'm not too thrilled about this age gap.  When he gets my age I'm going to be 38.  The thought makes me cringe ever so much.

I haven't had the opportunity to see him yet.  Little guy is still in the hospital.  He had to have surgery right after birth.  He's fine and perfectly healthy just waiting for him to come home.  I wish I had a picture of him so I can show him off.  He's so cute!

Blogging & Vlogging

A lot of people now a days have a blog or do vlogs on youtube.  Blogging and vlogging are the newest pastimes of this generation.  They allow us to let people access to our lives and thoughts via the internet.  Some allows us to keep up with what's going on in the media and lives of celebs.  There is absolutely a blog for everyone's preference.

Now I sometimes question why some people want to start blogs.  I went around to different people's blogs here on blogger/blogspot and asked what drove them to start a blog.  I was surprised at some of the answers I received.  Majority of the people I asked said they're trying to be the next Perez Hilton.  Now that was the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.  So basically they are trying to get famous from blogging.

Others said they do it so they can get money through adsense.  Adsense is a program run by Google which places ads on you blog and for every ad that is clicked on you receive a profit.  Some even said they just was to get a reaction from people. Now while you do want to get a reaction out of people from your blog, that shouldn't be the reason why you started it.

I did not get the answer I was looking for.  Not one person said they were doing it for them.  I'm sure if I kept asking different people I would have gotten that answer but I only asked 12 people.  Also by the content on some people's blogs, I could have easily gotten my answer.  If you're not blogging for yourself then I believe you're doing it for the wrong reasons.  It's not about getting popular, famous, money, or anyone else.  It's about loving to write and blog and nothing more.
