Why blog?

As I mentioned in my first post, this blog will be a more focused version of my everyday entertainment musings. To provide this structure, I intend to write a post a least once a week (hopefully more often) that might relate the latest film, music, show, etc. to my collegiate observations. I'll reflect the title of this blog by utilizing a variety of storytelling methods that work to demonstrate my focus. Presently, as a 20-year-old still trying to find her place, adopting the mentality of whatever works (and being flexible, creative) has become a way of life.

Instead of simply reporting on my latest findings in these genres, I want to attempt to demonstrate their relevance to “the big picture” as I see it. Some of my ideas for posts include weekly play lists, film critiques, recommendations or artists to be on the lookout for.

There also might be the occasional video or photo slide show. I'm interested in alternative means of storytelling and hope to link this blog with the presence I've already established on other sites like Twitter and Tumblr. Blogging continues to be dynamic and I want to continue to explore and even utilize its creativity and changes.

Ultimately, my goal is to expose YOU, the audience of my friends, peers in JOMC 256 and other like-minded 20-somethings, to some of my favorite entertainment and perhaps spark new interests (and maybe some dialogue).
