It's been almost 3 years since I've first plan to open a blog. But the timing, the situation, personal issues and other 'nonsense' reasons restricted me from doing it. Every time I got my hands on a PC with an internet connection I always visit a lot of blogs. Just checking and reading them for the heck of it, and alot of this guys always amaze me with what they post on their blogs. Until I noticed myself that I religiously check them out from time to time to see if they have something newly uploaded post. Most of the blogs I always visit were made by those 'musicaly-driven-cats' because I'm also a big fan of music, regardless of genre. I always read, watch and listen to their stuff and sometimes learn from it. I always visit blogs because in it I can entertain my self, understand and appreciate alot of artform that uses different mediums. Or simply I can learn a lot of things in it. (then I'll experiment and try stuffs that I've learn from it for confirmation and other reasons, LOL BITER!)
Back then, 1 of the main reasons why I wasn't able to open a blog is because I thought I'm just wasting mine and your time. But the doors of 'maybe-I-can-make-1' suddenly open a little bit. The 2 websites (IMEEM & SOUNDCLICK) that I've been uploading my work have vanish and was block by the admin. First it was the Imeem, the word was it was sold to Myspace. So, the instruction was you have to first open an account @ myspace and hook things up from your Imeem to your Myspace playlist. At first i thought it was easy till i tried it and found out that it was very complicated (was it that complicated or it was just my patience running out? IDK). Until I tried it again (for about a year since I've first tried it.) and I found out that my songs were no longer their. I lost 7 of the songs that I uploaded their and accidentally deleted the back up file. Then it was Soundclick. Some homo-thug-coco-crunch reported my accnt. So it was put on-hold by the admin then block it later then after I send the admin an email they still put my account on-hold. But that doesn't stop me from pushing my music. So I used Friendster to push it but there is something that don't feel right everytime I promote my songs using FS. Until Friendster bacame obsolete. Then here comes Facebook. Still I keep on pushing my music on facebook but same with FS, there is something wrong. Then I figure it out, FS and FB were made for all walks of life. Unlike Imeem and Soundclick, most of the people their were not musically incline. I was cool with them criticizing my songs (the IMEEM & SOUNDCLICK PEOPLE), but I don't know about the people in FS and FB. It feels uncomfortable for me because I just thought they don't know what are they talking about. But as time goes by I also learn that I need both parties to criticize my work for me to grow as an artist. But still it don't feel right for me to put a lot of effort pushing my brand of music using FS & FB.
After a couple of brain storming (with my self) I decided to have my own place in this vast space we call internet. And the closest way to that is to create a blog. A blog where I can create my own style of pushing my brand, where I can say what ever I WANT, post what ever I WANT, support WHOEVER AND WHAT EVER I WANT, and share what I think is very helpful to some who, like me, tend to find some IDEAS, to LEARN, or etc in the internet.
The tunnel that I am about to enter is kind a bit dark, almost near to pitch black because reading the blogs of others and making your own blog are totally different ball game.
But what the hell....
THIS IS MY PLACE!
IT'S ALSON!
BRRAAAAT!
Enjoy Y'all!
