Blogging is just more than writing a single idea

Yeah, it’s kind of boring seeing only text without anything interesting at the end, or at least some feedback or reference to know what inspired him to write that entry. But there is one important point that I considered as confusing.

Using a reference is as easy as copy and paste the link source to your text and it automatically see it from your page. Like for example, Youtube, the greatest host for video sharing, has become a good source of collective information. You can share in every page a video from Youtube to show to your readers. In fact, there are blogs designed to share videos found on Internet that they considered cool for them, and they are like a “promoter” of that video he’s sharing.

[A Youtube Embeded Page, (yay a first reference :P )]

Referential blogs are for those who visit Internet one day and then they saw interesting thing to share or to let know to a certain kind of public, the ones who visit the blog. They share other’s people blog entries, some images, some videos or some links to other pages. Of course you have to give credit to those who made it (if it doesn't get a clear credit) . Also, when blogs and social networking and video hosting weren't there, personal pages existed in hosting servers, and they do the same thing of sharing reference to other pages that the same person is following them, so the promotion is mutual among the bloggers and users.

Also, if you know HTML (yay for HTML), the customization of the blog entry would be more interesting with tables and graphics and images and info you don’t want to show it too quickly (like SPOILERS of some sort).

This is a Spoiler (An unoffensive one...):


BOOO!
This is what's inside the box heheheh

I think the problem comes when you put images, I don’t think you could get an image of something just for the blog entry’s good formatting, such as videogame images or movie or related images, and say your entry is entirely yours. It’s difficult for that part to credit, as you cannot refer very well that. But it’s strange   when I see others’ blogs they use it regardless of the reference. And therefore, when you search on Google Images, the same photo appears many times. It’s weird. Because images are a common search as web search, files like videos and other things are less common and easier to share (and also you don’t save that video on your side of the blog, and of course images don’t get into the other’s blog, unless it is PhotoBucket, but still…).

That’s why until now I have only written entry blogs without referring to someone else’s images or links (only one that I created and got on the web’s server…), and when I put images of something, I think I should ask first, or better I create mine. Maybe common images won’t hurt a lot… Only I want to get into the legal stuff… (Yeah, me and my silly thoughts…).

But well, beside the good look of the entry, there are: educational blog entries were you can share your knowledge of a certain area or study, or your experiences on something like program software or an Operational System or simply some useful thing they sure other may find difficult to discover. Also there’re blogs when you put entries mentioning the experience of practicing something like a language or experience on something doing on daily life. And also there’re musical blogs, art blogs, political blogs and personal blogs…

Mine has a bit of an experimental and idea sharing, with another bit of personal, referring to the things I like the most and to the things I accustomed to hear every day in School. I know every page hosting that exists have their singular settings, like Blogger is for writing and DeviantArt is for art pages and Flickr is for photo pages and all Social Networking pages are for personal and closed friends sharing, Youtube for video hosting, and forums for community collective information sharing.

“-But be concerned about all pages you have signed in, and take consideration of all of them.”
“-You’ll find that your info might be forgotten and someone may wonder why he doesn’t update regularly…
“-Get into the idea that’s still in another’s place far away (a.k.a. the page’s server, and of course it’s not in your room).”

[By the way, I’m interested on writing experiences on some Computer stuff I have learned and Programming issues, also the Nerdy Issues, and the Free Writing, so get tuned for more stuff n_n]

A New Adventure awaits... [A Story]

“A new adventure awaits for those who have the courage to face it.”

You’re about to go outside your local area in a quest located in a land of legends. Many people know the story, but they are afraid to tell about it. You cannot perceive the fear of their hearts, but their gossip talking is making you think about it, but not too much because you know it’s not true. But one thing is true: once you go there, you’ll never be the same again. You go despite of that idea; you know you’ll find awesome things out there. Your closest ones got astonished at first, but then they understood it will be for you own good.
But the opportunity to go and the offer it was projected didn’t make you think about it again, so like a good adventurer, you go out to that dreamed adventure searching the unthinkable, finding the extraordinary thing, collecting the most valuable objects, confronting the fearful paths as you follow your course. Although your objective is not clear at first, you’re sure they won’t make you stop.
You see the usual things you know as you walk away: the houses, the animals, and all the people who see you as another one who will try to make it happen. For some reason, you feel something strange, as if they doubted about you, but at the same time they were motivating you. You continue anyway, not paying attention to the stares of the people, and you stand there, at the most far known thing you ever touched: a big wooden gate with an extended bridge, one of the most amazed things you’ve ever seen, always opened for adventurers like you. You pass the gate and crossed the bridge, and turn your way into the forest.
You enter the forest, colorful and magnificent as always, getting a lot of ideas and dreams to fulfill, and fantasying a prosperous reward for passing the unbeatable. As you continue walking, the route goes more into the deep. Strange sounds and unseen things moving around as you walk deeper and deeper. It is getting darker, but you feel they're guiding you to the deepest place of the forest. You cannot deny you are feeling anxious, afraid, nervous, doubtful, uncomfortable.  But you also feel some excitement, some interest, some motivation, some reason to make you continue walking.  You feel so excited to get outside of the forest, to see the other side of it, and you stop thinking about everything else…
At that moment you got yourself into the abyss.  All those emotions blocked you from seeing the bottomless hole, and when you felt your feet wasn't touching ground anymore, you realized of everything  you have left behind, and that’s when emotions took control of you. You don’t feel you are falling but the sensation wasn’t good at all. Tears fall on your face and you can’t handle it. Your mind is filled with emotional events that make you feel lonely, useless, unable to avoid the falling, unable to control your emotion…
You don’t get it. How something that seemed to be easy became so complicated like this? You don’t want to believe that nonsense they tell about. But you are seeing that from your own eyes! The thought distortion is making you wander around in the nothing. The events of the past gets you annoyed, even if deeper in your heart you don’t want to accept that emotion. You get in an emotional fight with some rational thinking. “I don’t want to feel angry. I don’t want to hurt everybody because from my nonsense. I don’t want to be lonely. I don’t want to cry. I dont want to cry! I don’t want to cry….”
And then you got smashed onto something solid. You had forgotten you were falling, but now you feel you’re on ground again. As you incorporate and get on feet, you see all around you: although the place seems to be wide, it was gloomy and in a dark ambiance. All your emotions are fading away, but something weird is going on. When you thought everything was over, a strong sensation got you from behind, like a wind, as if it blew you from the back. You looked up to see a tremendous glow emerged from the nowhere and in front of you, a big monster, with strong fangs and terrific claws, and he sees you with his piercing eyes.
You act instinctively as you draw with your hand your most reliable weapon towards the monster, but the rest of the body was extremely paralyzed. Your legs were shaking from the fear, you feel your sweat all over your skin, and your body can’t respond to anything. You don’t realize what going on with you! Only you can perceive the monster’s eyes, and your hand that has the weapon stands still, pointing to the monster.
What’s going on? Is that a test of courage?  You can’t deny the objective is here, but you think it doesn’t make sense. How this is the reason of your adventure? This does NOT what you want of your life! Living here with strange feelings that covers your head and take control of it is not what you want.  Only you want to get out of here, that everything you are feeling finishes soon.  The rational thought that makes you reach the ground came again. But this time it was different: “I don’t want to cry…, but I dont want to do nothing about it, I came here for a purpose, and I want to do what it is possible in order to obtain it. If I’m here is because I took a first step, so I cant leave like this the entire path I have walked until now.” As you said those last words, everything came dark, you don’t see the monster, and your thoughts are not there anymore, only the ones you have said. Slowly, everything became calm. And then something came to the mind. This is the deepest place of that forest… But without seeing trees and plants, you realize something else. This is the deepest place of my mind…
What you are, where you came from, what you want to achieve appeared in front of you. Those things you have thought before you decided to take on this adventure covered your body feeling better. A warm feeling of Great Conviction…, you feel you are ready to face your fears and get ready for a real fight.
Everything seems to return to the state before the mild darkness.  The gloomy ambiance, the strange feeling, and the ferocious monster, are still there. You see them as always, but you are ready now to make a decision. You don’t mind what happened to your body before, even your natural condition, you know one thing, and it was face the monster it was in front of you.
Suddenly, the monster advanced near you, as if it was waiting for that moment. You get a firm grip to your weapon and advanced towards it. The monster prepared to attack and opened his mouth, but you easily dodged that attack. You attacked with your weapon with all your might, but it didn’t seem to hurt the monster. He threw you away with a strong force. You fell far away from him. It’s too powerful for you to beat that monster, and doesn’t get hurt to any to your attacks you make. For a second you forgot your reason and jumped towards the monster. You felt you were floating and the monster faded away, but the reason returned and you landed again. And then you see it, how the monster was covered in that mist of darkness. Your reason became stronger and that mist materialized again in that monster, but now the ambiance of the place was becoming less gloomy and brighter than before.
Something else was appearing behind the monster, it was a tiny glow of light, approaching to you. You perceive familiar voices from that light, echoing in the place, becoming louder and clearer. It was the voice of everyone they know you, the ones who said it was no crazy thing to go on that adventure. Their motivating voices gave you more strength, and then you feel you are not alone, you are special to them, you mean something to them, and its lives have something to continue into battle. You don’t care too much about everything else, only for the ones they cheering for you, and the initiative of action. The place trembles as it knows you have control of your mind and crashes in pieces. A subtle light surrounds the place, but the monster is still there. All the darkness made the monster bigger, but you know that trick is useless now. Only one thing is needed to do. With your mind in Great Concentration, you summoned the Light that seals the Dark from you.
A powerful glow of light appeared from the above, and covered completely the figure of the monster. “You’ll be sorry for concentrating your darkness like that, now you are sealed away from me!After then everything became shiny, you close your eyes. All the emotions, all the logical things, all the motivation, it was very lousy, like they’re want to get you once again. But you maintain your reason still, your objectives, and also, the motivation and the route to get to the goal.
And then, everything disappeared: only silence was the one present.
You open your eyes. You see that you are still in the forest. It wasn’t as dark as before. In fact, you were standing in front of a big tree, and around that tree the rays of the sun that can touch the ground; a wide area in the middle of the forest, with only a big tree at the center of it. At one moment you were confused of what happened earlier, but now you know it was part of the adventure you had with yourself and your mind.
But at the other side of the wide area, near another tree, you see a figure lying on the ground. It seems to be a person. You run towards that human, and when you stopped running you realized that person is you, but it was only a child. You got surprised to see your inner child in this forest (and also to see it in person). Your inner child looked up over you, and then stood up on feet. You see yourself as a child as if it was natural. It was incredible to see something like that. And then your inner child opened the mouth.
Take me with you! Those were the words you clearly heard with a strong voice. You’ll finally understand that child is the product of the effort you made to understand the meaning when you were crossing the forest. All analyzed things became a new life, and even if you can’t go with the body of that child, you’ll know you will never leave your inner child alone.
So you opened your arms and hugged that little human being that is part of your life. You think with all things learned from this travel, you have a more convincing goal in mind, and as long as you have your child with you, you’ll enjoy everything you see as you make your route towards your objective. As they said, "your perception of live will never be the same."
You take the hand of your childish you and together walked away into the forest again, with the impulse that it was guiding you from the beginning, you get into the road again,viewing all wonderful things as you pass by, despite the time you'll take to get to the end of the forest. It was only the beginning of your new adventure....

A new adventure awaits for you who took the path, the initiative to do something more than doing nothing. Because you know that a new world will emerge from the old one and changes the perspective of life. The things you have learned, and the things you’ll learn in a future, will trace your path in order to continue on the journey. New friends, new places to know, new adventures to take. And all this with the motivation with the ones who cares you, and with the conviction of you, in the graphical idea of the guardian who follows you at everyplace in the form of you as a child, and with the hope that there’s always someone who will guide us no matter what happens. There will be times the suffering returns, but we can handle the situation, because we know what to do now. There will be times everything seems hopeless, and may forget our goal, but with the motivation of the ones who cares about you, the conviction will be still at your side.”

“What it is the most important of them all, is to enjoy life at present tense, and live happy about it.”

Harry Potter and my Fascination of the Books

[Maybe I tell some things mentioned in past movies, like a SPOILER…!]

[- That’s scary…]
[-But those are minus ones, so Harry Potter fans, don't be afraid to read it *hehehe...*]
[-He's trying to forget his scary-like face...]



                Seems to be the perfect time to talk about how I like the books of Harry Potter, and also how all this world-wide phenomenon occurred since his start. Within the books contains a well detailed world of fantasy in which everything appear to be based on real arguments with the touch of its author, J. K. Rowling.

                I guess I have started to read the books when I saw the first movie of Harry Potter (Philosopher's Stone). It was a curious thing that I started to read the third book first. I don’t know what I was thinking when I thought Harry under a camping bag practicing magic (forget my childhood's lack of interpretation of all details…).

               But then I got the other first books from a Christmas gift. Then I started to read. With all these books, I tried to imagine the world of wizardry in London, and also the Hogwarts Castle, with all their rooms, staircases, secret places and their outside terrains.  When I read all the first three books, I guess I was waiting to the third movie to appear.

                So every time a new book appeared, in a few weeks I looked at them and buy it to read new things about the plot of that boy who survived the curse of death of the “Dark Lord”, and his development in magic in the School of Hogwarts.  All the books tells something new and adds a new thing not explained in previous books (only a mysterious part of it is mentioned) opening new questions of the things occurred at that moment when his parents died.

                It’s wonderful all the things the author explains, every detail seems to have a reason to be there. You won’t expect something to happen, like the death of your closest relatives and important characters, and also the overcoming of the moment the life of Harry is going to be taken away. Also in the last one, in which it seems that searching those parts of Vordemort’s soul was hopeless. All the explanation and adventures Harry and his friends had details their frustration of not getting into the main point.

                But I liked how things were developing in each character. In Harry, all his learning was reflected in his way he fight all those Death Eaters, for example. In Voldemort, his search of reviving again and join an army of destruction, along with his entire back story, makes this character a fascinating one. In the final book, most of the things were explained. I hope it gets that in the final movie.

                Recently I just saw the first part of the seventh movie, and again my motivation of this series increased notoriously. Maybe because all those awesome things that movie had were in the right place (of course with their vision of the things, awesome that I have recreated well all those scenes before…).
Now I’m really excited to see the conclusion and the epic moments of that part of the book that made me read it again and think “So that’s the reason of all the mystery”.

“There you have it, another of my great fascinations.”
“Now, let’s go to see the final movie! *yeah*”
“Yeah, when I get some time…”
“Are you really gonna miss it…?”
“Of course not, but it’s not that I will see it in the first day of the function…”
“Oh, OK…. ”
“I still have my books anyway…”

Motivational Point - A Friend's Voice

To those who have shared some of their precious time hanging out with this kind-of immature boy, making their lives a little bit different:

"Maybe I didn’t make you take your greatest change yet in your life, or my actions haven’t produced some great effect on you. But I’m sure if you have known me enough time to state you as my friend in the time we were together, is because you gave your time for at least hear my silly thoughts of life, my unexpected answers that came from my mind, my clumsy actions that make you change the smile on your face, and my eternal silence for thinking a way to say something interesting (or my insignificant voice that doesn’t seem to care to others…). "

"I maybe think you are far away from me, that someday I will need the support when I need to, the motivation from your voice who gives me the courage to continue going on the journey, the power to get everything in order…, and I maybe think I feel lonely because you are not so near enough, because of course we know we have our own path to follow and maybe it’s difficult trying to make an intersection and meet each other again. Although your presence is the most important thing in our friendship, I don’t mind if only we can communicate each other from far away, only to feel I’m not alone…"

"Having a new friend is difficult, but when the time comes to meet again in the nearest path, I’ll do my best to enjoy my time-space moment with friends sharing common ideas, but we know there is time to having fun in our free-time."

"Reuniting with you again is also difficult, especially when we cannot state a moment to share about good things in life. But I know that I can have the courage to say hello to you because I know, and all of you know, that we can start things again. I don’t mind talking to you on Internet. Maybe we won’t see our faces, but I'm sure I'll be glad doing it."


"To all of you, who I consider as my friends: maybe you don't feel that I'm the best you have met in your life, but in a time I have reckoned you as one of the best moments in my life. Because in that moment I couldn't count on somebody who would give me support, I could see you nearby the place in moment and have some friendship action."


"If it's true that maybe from your place isn't the same thing to get your friendship, I could at least say thank you for being my friend in the moment we were supposed to be. I don't know if I need to worry you just because all this stuff I have written here, but I think you'll be right that our friendship needs to rise again and that we don't have to be afraid to say sorry for all this long time of no talking."


"Now in this moment I have written this [Motivational Point], if I hadn't properly practiced the motion of friendship activities is maybe because I don't know so much about it. Only I know how to hear others and share emotional points to the ones are willing to receive it. So, if you have free time to spend, maybe writing is the best option to tell how wonderful friendship is."


"It's not that I know nothing, it's just that I can't get my voice out..."

Motivational Point - Don't be afraid

For all who want to hear something useful:

"Don't be afraid to be yourself, the one who will lead you to maintain your happiness with you. Your true expression of life makes everybody understand your true potential and your strong purpose to live."

"Don't be afraid to get in touch with your friends that care so much for you, and be kind with the ones that are away; maybe a good memory will come in mind. You know the ones that are not near you, but with all this technology, from everywhere you can make them feel there are near you.

"Don't be afraid to express your emotions (the good way), even the ones you'll think it will hurt everybody. If it is your friend you're talking to, he will understand and even thank you for express that emotion. Your friendship will endure more passing this test of courage and decision, and also the support force will increase."

"Don't be afraid to make a mistake; also don't be afraid to take the opportunity to take action of your good beliefs. Maybe that action will make you stronger, and even if you fall and suffer about it, we have always the opportunity to try it again if we want to. Every day with the goal in mind always in action."

"And don't be afraid to say sorry to the ones who unintentionally made them feel sad and lonely, and also to forgive to the ones who, not knowing who you are, made you feel sad and lonely. Maybe they need to know more about you, and those actions are the only way to discover more of your life."

"Because we live in this wonderful life full of emotion and awesome things around us, and we can be thankful to have all those things that makes us happy with each day. There are always good days and bad days to share with others, and also a good predisposition to make a bond of friendship in which you can rely to in order to preserve the connection between your friend and you. "

Expression of Nonsense

Yay, another entry! (Sure it is... *heheheh*). Sure you are one of the few people who have seen this blog, and it’s only two months old [-Yeah, your carefulness of the words is kind of difficult to comprehend…]

But hey, even if I only share to the ones they care for me, I could make this blog an awesome one for them. So, there it seems to be a simple blog entry. But my mind is developing a fast idea topic in order to complement the first idea written. I could say nonsense and try to challenge people to tell me what did I say with all that. Or maybe I could need some topics taken from everywhere and try to express that with my own experiences and ideas, so they could enjoy more this blog and the main purpose to making it.

I want to be constant with my entries, but motivation motion and support is needed to make this blog be more ‘alive’ and then the sharing will be easier. If they don’t care much about it they won’t look this as interesting. Because, "what things he would write that my complex and mind full of experiences could see it as amazing?". Maybe you can prove it if you see all the information that is presented.

Also, my entries are especially designed for the reader to see it’s not a simple blog for one reader. Therefore, I’ll do for the better understanding of the practical social expression with those entries. Although I am the one who writes this blog, I’m free to hear your comments, suggestions and other things regarding this blog, how you feel with the information explained and also language grammatical expressions and other things.

Really, I have so many things to talk about, only need the support and the ideas from you, for as you can see, it’s difficult for this guy to express his true points of view [-Without feeling very observed by everybody]. 


"-But I can overcome this nonsense of my lack of skills...
"-Only because you want that your friends can make a better perspective of you..."
"-Expression, it's all about expression!"
"-...*seems kinda skeptical* "
"-How can everybody can easily express themselves even in Internet?"
"-... and even the ones who in real life there are not so talk-active..."
"-..., because they fell not pressured with the eyes of each person, but even I...."
"-Yeah, yeah, I understand; your active mind will easily visualize the people's face..."
"-Hmm... *not satisfied with that...* "
