My Blog Inspiration

As I’d mentioned in my previous post, I’ve never had the motivation to actually commit to blogging before, although I’ve always had an interest in it.  Now, however, I’ve made the commitment.  I just want to take a few minutes and share with everyone where that newfound inspiration has come from. 

A few months ago, one of my close friends introduced me to the Wrock band “Ministry of Magic.”  I instantly became obsessed, and began googling each of them members.  I discovered that most of the members have done solo projects and fell (slightly) in love with one guy in particular – Luke Conard. 

Luke Conard is an incredibly talented person.  I have watched every single one of his videos on YouTube multiple times, and haven’t found any that I have hated.  In addition to loving his music, I also discovered the world of vlogging.  Vlogging, for those of you who don’t know (and most of my friends didn’t) is video blogging.  Luke’s vlogs are incredibly hilarious and I have watched every single one of them including most of his friends’ vlogs. 

After discovering Luke and his world, I was led to discover a whole other side of YouTube that I had previously not known had existed.  I am now fans of Luke’s friends and constantly check their channels for new videos and vlogs, and I now constantly discover new people.  I strongly encourage anyone that had never looked at vlogs before to do so.  You never know what you may discover.

Although I am clearly not vlogging, discovering vlogs has inspired me to commit to finally creating the blog that I have wanted to.  Seeing how so many people can openly be themselves in front of a camera each and every day has made me wonder why I cannot even do it behind a computer screen and keyboard.  I was interested in vlogging, but without a video camera or video editing experience, blogging is a much better fit for me.  So, THANK YOU to all the vloggers out there that I have discovered and all those that I have yet to discover for giving me the push that I needed to do  something that I’ve wanted to do for quite a long time.
