Time for a reminder both to myself and to other people.. this is a journal. After extensive enjoyment and analysis of actual blogs and vlogs, I've finally realized what makes this journal different from those weblogs. The difference lies in motive. If somebody's smart enough to make a chart of this, I'd be much obliged:
Am I Creating a Blog or a Journal?
Blog
Am I writing this more for my own enjoyment or for that of other people?
I write to appease and entertain my viewers and subscribers.
Do I take requests?
Often.
Do I write out things normally considered secret?
No.
Do I care about the views it gets?
Of course.
Do I allow comments?
That's where I get my ideas.
Journal
Am I writing this more for my own enjoyment or for that of other people?
My own enjoyment.
Do I take requests?
Most often not.
Do I write out things normally considered secret?
Yes.
Do I care about the views it gets?
No, but I find them amusing.
Do I allow comments?
No.
There you have it. Maybe I'll start a blog or a vlog someday. As disgusting as the word might be, they're not bad, this just isn't one.
You'll notice I do acknowledge you a lot though, that's both because I feel like conversational writing is easier and more relaxed and also because you're a big part of my day. You who read this, even you Russians, have helped make me who I am. If it weren't for you, I would be a lesser man, at the very least one that had no idea who you all were.
We're up past three thousand views.. a cool three thousand two-hundred and nineteen. I wonder how many journals or dairies have gotten this many peeks.
Verse of the Day:
"Be exalted, Lord, in your strength;
we will sing and praise your might."
Psalm 21:13
It's okay to be proud of what God's doing. It's okay to proclaim it. It's okay to be loud and let everyone know how awesome and mighty our God is. It's also okay to tell him that, He loves it.
Man of the Day -- my good buddy Josh Simon.
Pray for some safe travel for him as he flies into North Carolina in a couple of hours. Also for an effective, useful, and enjoyable time down there checking out universities.
Josh Burks is pretty cool too -- scrimmage in two weeks. Prep's important in baseball. More prayer?
God, let it be done.
Now, here's a joke:
Crowded elevators smell different to midgets.
Another:
Some people are like Slinkies ... not really any good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
One Hundred More!
Note: You can break your laughbox.. just read three more and you'll see for yourself.
P.S. That one counted.
