We Just Wanna Be Famous

According to my account at blogger.com, this is my 31st post. Yeah, it's been 31 since... erm... Lemme go check. *1 minute later* Since September 7, 2006. I feel like I've been posting tibits of my life and thoughts in this blog and today I tried to make an oh-so-popular vlog. For those of you who don't know what the is; it's a blog but in video form. I guess I was giving in to the trend - but who doesn't? I mean you can only hear that Richard Gere gerbil story so many times that you have to start believing it.

My very first post was a ramble about how celebrities are overrated, and here I am, trying to make a vlog (in hopes of being YouTube famous), how hypocritical am I, jeez. Fortunately for the eyes and ears of many people from all across the world, I didn't get past the phrase "Ermm, I don't know what to look at, the camera or the screen... this is awkward". Maybe video logs are just not my thing? Although, what an amazing thought that would be, for me to keep all my friends up to date about my life in another media form. Let's face it, I know quite a lot of people, and so does everyone and we don't really have time to talk to all of them, much less see them all on a regular basis. Now imagine that you made vlogs to keep all of them up to date on your life and they made some keeping all of their friends up to date. What a world we live in. An endless amount of possibilities lie in our fingertips. We're one click away from halfway across the globe.

In light of my failure at making a vlog, I have updated my website (and myspace doesn't count for that matter) with all sorts of new things. I decided that I am going to use it as a creative output for my blogs (and future vlogs?), photography, graphic are and my general interests - and of course, a page dedicated to the visitor. It's safe to say that I was once Piczo famous. I had people telling me this and that about my site and I found myself on a constant update mode, but now I feel I don't have the pressure, and besides I've got time.

So, as hypocritical as I may seem, it's quite true for the whole world that we all just want a little piece of fame at some point. We all want to be noticed by someone, whether we admit it or not. Hang your pride up for a moment and just nod and agree.
