I was thinking the camera guy in horror movies should get an award. I mean honestly he is the scariest villain in all of Hollywood. Think about what I'm saying, for a moment. The scene shows some one get onto the elevator. The camera man looks around to show you no one else is one it, except the person about to die and the guy holding the camera. Then when the elevator opens only the camera man is alive. Who did it? 45 minutes later they bring in some guy who you get to see do something that is blatant and thats who they pin it on.
Wouldn't it be really messed up if just once at the end of the movie the camera guy put the camera on a table and walked in front of it and told you it was really him and proceded to destroy whomever you thought was the hero/heroine. That would be a twisted ending that people would never guess.
Let me know what you think.

Some timers
I forgot what my great idea for a blog post was.....
I think I have a form of writers bloc
Was it about a dream I had? nope
Was it about some revelation of my inner soul? nope
Was it about how I havent written anything here in like 6 months, because I never write down all my good ideas and them forget them after I go home ? Yep
Did I accomplish this mission? yep
Done.
P.S. I figure if I start with random baby steps I should be alright by Christmas :)

The New Bloggers Dilemma (NBD)
In the fast paced world of blogging, just like nascar you build a following and hold on to them. If you don't you fall to the wayside and wither away. There are a lot of people who claim you should not promote your own website or submit your own stories to digg. The majority of those people have fallen to the wayside and are withering away. Promote your website, it is not SPAM, it is something you have worked hard to produce. Let quality determine if you succeed.
The new bloggers dilemma (NBD) is a catch 22. Those without exposure will not have a user base. However to get exposure you need a user base. You also need to provide quality content to retain a following. Again you need a following to ensure your content is quality. The last statement is a bit counterintuitive, so I will restate it. Having a consistent user base will offer contructive critisim on those thing which are good and bad, which will help create high quality posting and insights. This does not mean let everyone else hijack your site and opinions. It does however, allow you to gear your grammar, layout, and topics to those who use your site regularly. This in turn allows them to point others with the same interest to your site, which expands your user base.
The second NBD is what do you talk about. Talk about everything and anything, screw niche blogs. If you find one you love, great, one thats not over run with established persons, even better. But as a whole people have many interests and many subjects they know something about, talk about them. There is alot of expertise languishing in the minds of people who only write about one topic. IT WANTS TO BE FREE, so let it go!
