Just for socialising...

Internet socialising. Interesting thing that, getting to know people you already know better, and meeting people you've never met before. Oh the joy. I'm one of the many people who have done the aforementioned. But, in my view, it can be all a bit passive and empty. Maybe that's over stating it, but I feel there is far more to the Internet than simply commenting pictures and ''liking'' comments.

Thus as to why I do things such as blog every so often, and make videos (for YouTube), and to some extent Photo shop ( But don't really see that as Internet based, personally, I know for others it is...Devin Art). I think it's a good way of getting over your opinions and such, a good variety of media for people to argue, discuss your point of view..rather than the ever mundane ''you look nice'', ''WUU2?'', ''LMAO''. Social-networking does have its place, before anyone thinks this is me just having a big swipe at ''Facebook'' etc, it is a good way to quickly catch up, confirm you're not dead (if you haven't updated in the last hour), and show yourself having fun; pictures etc. Simply put it only takes a few minutes to do something of this nature and you don't need to talk on the major news stories, something as simple as just saying what you did last week for example... that can go for videos as well.

Personally, I prefer doing this at the moment to videos, because 1) I can think about what I want to write better than thinking what I want to say...2) my laptop is low on memory, and videos can take up a fair chunk of what's left on my laptop. 3) It's just so fun and easy.

In turn,I think it's nice to read up on what you're friend(s) has been doing, which nicely brings me to my next point. That being the fact that a lot of my ''school yard chums'' ( quoting Mr Burns there I believe) don't make videos, write blogs and so, therefore I'm going alone with it for the most part. The sweet thing is that I've got two followers, who in fact are people I've met over the Internet, in saying that I yearn for the day when my friends are following my blog, and writing their own...it might be the case when I go to University.

Anyway I'll wrap it up here, it's currently '00.04' in the morning, so if I've made any errors then I can fix them at a later stage...over and out then.
