Hello, if your reading this you must be vaguely interested or procrastinating some sort of work but either or works for me. Now what is this about? Well just like the title says i plan on blogging at least weekly if not bi-weekly on teamliquid for as long as i enjoyably can. My blogs won't really be related to SC:BW or SC2 but i might talk about those i don't even know yet, so if your looking for a humors SC blog i would not expect much. What i will blog about is well everything and anything, they will mostly pertain to me but i haven't really planned to many topics so most of this will be on the fly, they could be about my personal opinions on any TL threads (Mostly General as i don't even have SC/SC2 threads even being seen).
I'm hoping that this blog will help me relieve some stress, and allow me to just express myself freely. I wish i could say that i was some really exciting writer or i lived a double life as the Batman once 11pm hits, but sadly i am just a poor college student trying to decide his future. I also hope to work on my composition skills, which brings me to my next point. If you see any glaring grammatical error's or just some bad plain English please point it out to me (Nicely if possible  ) i am all for constructive criticism.
What inspired me: Well i am currently taking composition for one of my gen ed requirements and my professor has us blogging once a week about something pertaining to what we discussed in class. I've done two but i find it really dull to be asked to blog but keeping us restricted and most of the blogs come out similar. So i thought hey TL is the only site i know that has blogs! So why don't i start my own?
Well this was more of a semi introduction, if you think you will find this interesting at all please say something! If not well say something as well! I don't want to just post these blogs if they are going to be sitting here and everyone giving me negative comments. I'm not so afraid of negative comments i just want to know that this won't be an annoying blog that pops up once a week so people can bash me.
If you have any suggestions to keep my blog interesting i'm always open to ideas!

I didn't actually read but i saw moar pictures and liked it ^_^

Right i guess i will blog but insert pictures relating kind of to the content. So expect lots of Star Wars, babes, and food.

I actually did read through the blog and think if you're going to blog on TL you should probably have a bit more focus to your blogs. There's nothing wrong with a food blog, or a blog of your progress in Starcraft, or those occasional blogs about events, special occasions or stories you wrote, and I think I speak for at least half the people who read these things that we all look forward to the girl blogs, but a blog about everything and anything seems a bit ambitious.
That said, if you think you can pull it off and truly bring well written, good content to TL go for it. Also, why are you on TL if you don't want to look at the SC/SC2 forums? Seems a bit weird to me.

I am truly, sincerely not trying to be mean here. I just want to tell you what you (or anyone) needs to know about basic writing:
This post does not give anyone a reason to read it -- all you have told us is that you are going to blog on TL and that it might be about you. It does not give a lot of information as to whether anyone should vote yes or no in your poll. Then you ask what you should write about. This does not inspire confidence.
1. Think of something to say.
2. Ask yourself if anyone has any need to hear it.
3. Think of an interesting way to present it.
4. Type it up.
5. Read it. Ask yourself if you would want to read it if someone else wrote it.
6. Decide whether to hit post.
No one needs to set out an introductory post to say "this is what my blog will be about." Just write something whenever you have something worth sharing.
Good luck! I think I at least skim practically everything that gets posted in the blogs, so I'll be rooting for you.

Well i use to be a heavy SC2 player wayyy back in season 1/2 and i would focus only on SC2, but then university happened and combined with poor time management lead to my effective death of SC2. I made blog on quitting SC2 as well, but now i just use TL to browse the general threads and keep up with SC2 news (through the TL news/ community news/ Fan clubs) and i love watching the NASTL and IPL TAC.

Oh i know this was super SUPER vague i just more or less wanted to know if anybody would even bother to read these if i posted them.
When i do actually make these supposed "blogs" i will put some effort in and write these out on paper beforehand. I don't expect to just throw out half assed blogs (like this for example). But i will try to make a topic to talk about, i wont talk about my day precisely if thats what you are wondering, haha even to me that would be boring.
Oh also thank you for the criticism.

If you are really writing a blog about writing future blogs then I'd say you're off to a terrible start. Write something people actually want to read instead of just your inner monologue about whether or not you want to do something. Save that for a journal, or better yet, your own brain.
I promise I won't be so critical in the future if you write something worth reading though

1. More Kpop girl idols.
2. More girl problems.

Good blog!
