Balancing ideas and delivery

Lemme start up the entry with a variety of music today. Hopefully theres something for everybody today.
~~~ Morcheeba - Part of the Process ~~~ Yes, more chill for the soul...definitely not the best of the best stuff....but its aite.
~~~ Remy Shand - Take a Message ~~~ I like this song alot...definitely its the vocals...its wacky...i think he's canadian, his music reminds me of david usher..
~~~ Ataris - Life Makes No Sense ~~~ Punk band. Punk Song. Always keep the boat rocking.

Lots of shit jumping the grounds these days......yes, phyfound is definitely a major stress factor of the break (haha..explains why i'm up here now)....I guess my break didn't run as smoothly as my others.....i guess i'm just not the procrastinator type, play first work later doesn't work too well with me.......i need to have it the other way around, work first play afterwards has always been part of my plans...
Its all good tho, i mean, i've been slacking and hanging all spring so far.....every weekend has been an adventure on its own.....i guess i didn't understand that the power is in my hands every single day every single moment...its what you make of it really......i think about it, and i realize i wasted a lotta weekends sitting around during my sophmore year.......but yeah, after this coming week, i'll be a bird again.....free as can be til my exams during may.....hey man, i'm not complaining, thats a month and a half of more adventures..

I really don't know where to start, cuz every single thing is quite worth talking about........hmmm......yeah whateva, its not important...i'll talk my talk and you read what you read...
I've been thinking whether i should start a xanga.......there are quite a few things that are stopping me tho, first thing for sure is that i've been blogging on blogger.com for like the longest time already......y start all over again??......i've wrote enough to make the scroller on my site very sensitive to scrolling down the entries (hehe....really takes a while to scroll now)...........so you might ask?? why do i want to make a xanga??......thats a very goood question.....definitely eprops is something i enjoy to have, haha...i can find out what other ppl think...wasn't that something i've always been searching for?? reader input??.......another thing i like a lot is definitely the easier posting of pictures on the site....ok, maybe i did figure out how to do it on my blog too...but believe me, it takes a long friggin while......especially when i need to find my own online disk space and need to go through a whole lotta formatting and telnet sessioning.....its just not worth it unless i feel like my blog would just start rot and smell if i didn't make the pic post..........seriously, i'm faced with a dilemma here.......always always, the pros and cons..........hmmmm, well, i'm definitely not gonna do it now...i'd waste another couple hours of studying time.......so i guess blogger.com wins today.............Oh, and one other thing....i can add my friends xanga onto mine??...good thing, i can get more hits......bad thing, a lotta people use it to show they're the most popular people in the world (and yes, i've seen some idiotic long lists out there)....

HAha.....I've definitely seen some random xangas out there......some rare ones are good (definitely enjoy reading).......some don't have much time put into them (fine with me, some people just aren't into things like this).........and finally, some just aren't very interesting (yes, i've actually seen quite a couple).......
So here, i'm gonna give my readers some tips upon what i think helps to make good blogs/diaries (hehe):

1. Write Long Paragraphs - This is probably the biggest error i've noticed so far......but when i say long paragraphs, i don't mean long entries.....theres a difference here.....it seems to me that a lot of people write extremely short paragraphs.....they're usually only 2-3 lines long......the problem with writing short paragraphs is that it just doesn't give the reader enough background information about what you're trying to say......i often find these paragraphs extremely vague and it often includes a lot of imagination to feel what is being expressed....it would be a lot better if they were elaborated on.........I think there are also lot lot more reasons to write long paragraphs...but i'll stop here, my point is made......not extremely long paragraphs, but at least a little more for the reader other than 'i've had a lot of work these days....i've been working on blah and blah....and i've been very tired'........believe me, that is not interesting!!.......

2. Write about simple things - I guess this does overlap a little onto how smart you are in capturing little things in your life........i've often found that very very simple daily routines, moments, interactions are very interesting to read about.......seriously, i look at my desk right now.......i see a water bottle, my cell phone, my pencil case......if i don't have writers block right now (which i don't), i can go on and on about just one of these things..........so yep, simple things can be very interesting to read......material/fact/event is less important than how you write it.....you do not need to live a rock star life to write a rocking entry.....

3. Definitely be yourself - don't write to show the world you have a new significant other.......don't write to prove to the world how smart you are.......its all in the heart, i'm not saying you can't be happy that you have a new significant other....but boasting, trying to become another person you are not is a NO........so don't do it.....plus, people often see through it rather than you being able to fool them with your entry.....

4. Variation? - I can't tell if this is really something that'll make your diary/blog a lot more interesting......i mean, you can be good at writing lyrics, and i wouldn't have a problem to only read lyrics everytime i see a new entry.........but i dunno, i like variation.....include chats, links, reviews of music or movies, updates, theories, pictures, surveys, biographies, etc.....the possibilities are endless really......

5. No surveillance - I made a huge mistake of having to add that into my blog for a period of time.....and it seriously scares readers away......i guess some people like privacy and like to surf anonomous (ok, don't care about spelling)........they don't like to come back for updates if they know they are being watched.......i guess site meters are fine....but not stuff that lets know you exactly when and who came into your site.......

6. Write Simple - Ok...maybe i don't quite perfect in this tip either.....i often feel like my writing or english is a burden to my blog.......but its definitely important that your reader would understand what you are trying to express.........and of course, don't write in code!!....don't write entry after entry in another language unless the diary was written for those that understand it only.........you ask why??....erm...maybe cuz its not very readable?

*Phew*....and i did not write about what i really wanted to......haha...all good...
