This is an experiment......

........quite literally. You see I've always wanted to get into the world of v-logging. I understand that the YouTube v-log community is quite well established with likes of Nat (communitychannel), Alex Day (nerimon), Philip DeFranco (sxephil) and Tessa (meekakitty) to name a few; however I believe there must still be room to break through to world.

This is why I am merely starting with a text based blog, because while I am pained to say it literature is dead as a way of communication. One hundred years ago writers were able to interact with the world through the use of written word. Now, however, digital has taken over. Things like YouTube are more a part of the general public's lives than anything else in the world. It helps politicians win elections, encourages people to donate to charity, gives us advice on which films we should see and what x-box games are worth playing.

Don't misunderstand me here. I'm not complaining. I embrace all technology and use it just as much as everyone else. I've had a YouTube account for coming up on 4 years now (I've uploaded less than half a dozen videos but thats another matter) and love the idea that it is now so much easier to communicate with the world.
I suppose that this blog, to me at least, is just my way of acknowledging the passing of the literary world. While I will eventually get to making a v-log (and it will most likely be unsuccessful) this blog will remain just because I refuse to abandon writing altogether.

Much love to those few people who actually decide to read this :P
Now I must finish watching Canada beat USA in Ice Hockey!
