ENTRY #1 Let's Talk Bout Em Blogs

Blogs, in my opinion, is a platform for displaying ideas, opinions, or even addictions. They may assume many forms like pictures, videos, or mainly articles in text. I believe it is a more cheaper way of getting an audience for  my contents.

If you would ask me to mention my favorite blogs, you would probably regret asking cuz everything I'll mention will be about soccer. i wouldn't say I am addicted to soccer but I have a strong passion for it. I can say I visit soccer blogs that gives peoples opinions on games, management and things that affect the sports in any way, my favorite being the ones that discusses about my favorite team, Arsenal. I like these blogs because they are more critical of the performance and decisions of the team and management. Though many of these bloggers are fans, they do not let their feelings judge their criticisms and I do admire their objectivity. They help me look at things from a different perspective about things affecting my team. Ex. http://gunnerblog.com/2014/10/20/arsenal-2-2-hull-city-fragile-arsenal-falter-again/

Moreover, keeping myself informed about current affairs and events surrounding the society is something I admire, and a few of these blogs help me as such. It's interesting how some of these catchy titles may lead you to read some ridiculous things. I have "the Huffington post" bookmarked on my pc because I like to visit from time to time to keep myself updated with some of these interesting current affairs. I consider them as a form of education, advisement, and give some knowledge about some of these products on the market. They influence my opinions on views I already held. Ex. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/02/kaci-hickox-mandatory-quarantines_n_6090198.html

I have developed a very big interest in celebrity life, thanks to TMZ. Waking up to a new Justin Bieber trouble, or a Kanye West rant is enough is enough to keep myself busy for about an hour. I can say i just love the humor that is used in reporting these stories. This serves as a form of entertainment to me. Ex http://www.tmz.com/category/tmzsports

However, there are extreme and absurb blogs out there, sometimes displaying contents which are highly explicit. One good thing about such blogs is that some of these blogs advise against explicit content before they show em. I choose to watch everything because the main purpose for visiting some of this blogs is entertainment. Example is the famous "Worldstarhiphop". Irrespective of what illblogs are capable of causing, they also provide some of the most wanted data that help individuals such as myself to get through daily lives. With appropriate web protections, I believe blogs are better and cheaper tools for sharing thoughts, ideas, and innovations, advertising and enterttainment.
