“I Don’t Complain, I Just Change Shit.”
My friend spoke those words to me last night. I thought it was another nice way of saying make it better. It was also interesting option for a new tag-line for this blog.
Best of all it helped me sum up my feelings about what I am doing here with this.
Why I blog:
1. To inspire
2. To generate discussions
3. To create change
4. To get people thinking about their life, society, and our world
5. To learn some new things
6. To be able to write everyday and for others to gain value from it
7. To help people
8. To generate ideas
9. To grow
10. To end judgement
11. To open minds
12. To create independence
How you can help:
1. Email me topics you’d like discussed
2. Comment constructively
3. Be insightful
4. Share your ideas
5. Subscribe here
6. Share my content
7. Be yourself
I’ve always wanted to help people; for them to see the fabulousness in themselves, know their potential and exceed beyond it. Makeitbetter is one small step in my attempt to change the world, at least a little bit.
That’s why we love coming here, you make us think about things other than food. You said it all for us in your reasons for blogging. We’ll be sharing this, for sure.
March 8th, 2008 at 3:29 amI’d like to see a discussion on what you don’t like about blogging or bloggers ( if there are any ).
Hey you,
I actually already commented on blogging here: http://makeitbetter.wordpress......ogger-die/
But I’ll probably have more to say eventually. I’ll let you know when I do.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
March 8th, 2008 at 10:34 pmI love blogging myself. My main blog is in Dutch I love it. Indeed it’s a road to total independence.
I am doing music for a livin’ so blogging is a way to show what I am doing and also tell about the changes in the music industry. I am pro Creative Commons since 5 years ago, so I can help people with sharing information about it.
I think when a blog gets really personal, it’s best. And I love it.
I think mainly because it’s simple: when we stop sharing information, stop talking, the world ends. We should get things out, because the world expects us to do so. And some people like what I am doing, so I am very glad. It means something to them.
Have a nice sunday! It’s raining here in Holland, The Hague.

It’s too bad I don’t know Dutch, I would’ve liked to explore your blog. But I do love your tumblr, and am honored you displayed my words with the likes of Godin and the rest.

Anyone else want to share why they blog?
P.S It there was practically a monsoon here in NY yesterday!
March 9th, 2008 at 1:18 pmYes, I agree with all of your points above. That is exactly why I blog too. Sharing ideas and connectivity – the very essential things that come with blogging and with internet in general.
