Why I Am Not New
Posted by Mysterygrimms | Under Blogging, Mysterygrimms Thoughts Friday May 30, 2008Hmmm… scratching your head wondering what this post possibly could be about? Well don’t it’s just what the title suggests nothing new. Nothing that old either. Just stuck blurred between the lines of what I want this blog to be about. Do I really want it to be a news site "Where Real News Lives" yes! But lets be honest am I really bringing anything new to the table. Some may say yes…others no. But those "some" I just mentioned 8 words ago are the ones that probably were working hard all day, probably a 10 hour shitty shift at work, came home, stumbled on my blog somehow and read some interesting news they missed cause they were stuck at work. All day hearing how there boss wants a certain task done, at a certain time with their rhyme and reason done to it.
If your the "some" I keep referring to it and what I’m writing is true, feel free to leave me a comment. I’m here for you. I know I can’t possibly battle it out with the 500,000 different news sites online. There’s news everywhere you go just like product advertisements EVERYWHERE. It’s scary. What I want you fellow blogger or blog readers to do the 2 or 3 of you that actually read this. I want you to set out one day for yourself, ONE day and count how many possible ads you seen for that one day and touch back with me or just feel mentally satisfied that you did the challenge to see how hard it is to really come up with a new idea or even to compete. Blogging is exactly the same way. Alot of us just remix everyone else’s idea "The Cut and Paste Syndrome" I do it from time to time. I am notorious for the blockquote ailment though. Quoting everything a prominent figure said in the particular news story that was blogged about and I took and spinned it, like it was my news.
This is why I am not new. Just may be new to you for the moment…. If this theory or happening is true then I’m glad to oblige. It is hard to come up with a certain subject or niche and talk about it creatively AND be a effective. Honestly though that is my goal with this news stuff even though I’m still trying to figure how to pull this supposed niche I want to be in off and render it completely believable. Especially with the blockquote ailment. I’ll try, I’ll try. But when it is all said in done this website and blog is about me as well, but I’m not stupid or selfish enough to think it’s me that the reader cares about cause, That it is not! Excuse me for the numerous grammatical errors. Damn I wish I was a book editor or something like. Actually no I don’t….
