My take away idea from last week’s symposium.

I’ve always struggled to write without some sort of a biased tone. Perhaps it’s just not exciting enough not being able to add the way you feel towards a certain story. But opinion in public writing is dan-ger-ous.

Some subjects i’m undertaking this semester reminds me that down the Journalism path “opinion is dumbness”. It immediately makes you vulnerable. And at the end of the day your important audiences just want facts, to know the truth. #internetsmart

Apparently our lives are not stories. Mind blown!

Adrian raised in this week’s symposium that there are zero narrative structure to our lives. The perception of this is only created through our psychological needs for structure of everyday routines, because simply, everyone’s doing it.

We all wake up when the sun rises, have our meals at certain times of the day and go to sleep to end the day. There you have the beginning, middle, and end which is essentially the structure of a narrative?

What about past events in our lives that we tell as stories to our friends, are they just a memory?

Hi all, welcome to my blog.

Years ago I ran a tumblr account that I called ‘blog’ – where 100% of content made up of gawjuz male models, bikini babes at the beach (thinspiration), lame inspirational quotes and lolcats – cringe!

Starting a legitimate blog like this one is a pretty daunting idea. I often come up with creative thoughts (or just have a lot of opinion about things) but not at all a rockstar writer. Definitely more of a visual (memes, gifs, lolcats) communicator. Here’s hoping regular posts will sophisticate my writing skills and help me glamorize those ideas. No high expectations.

Instead of listing long ‘get to know me facts’ here’s my favourite phrase of all time: Less is more.

I also like dark techno phatties or ABBA or UB40 – being musically versatile is one of my talents (a more is more moment).

Stay tuned!
