The Media Whore: Part Deux

So, I suppose, after taking this class, I've still retained my title. Old ways die hard, after all. But perhaps I've grown a certain amount of taste, maybe I'm a bit more discerning now.

I've learned to take media in all its forms and then dig deeper and try to figure out the target audience and hidden levels. To take media and see the big picture (that's not a pun.) Or at least, that I can write whatever the Hell I want and someone out there is bound to read it. In all seriousness, I've been aware of the popularity of blogs and how vast readership can go for a while now, but it was interesting, not to mention pretty innovative, to use it as a course requirement. This is so much better than the grade-school "journal entries" in spiral binders about your "feelings" or your favorite memory crap like that. This is a bit more impersonal, or rather just as personal as you want to make it, without feeling like too much of an oblogation

oblogation, n.
from the English "obligation" + "blog";
The need to post entries in a blog
ex. "I've got an oblogation to write about that cute thing my cat did today!"

I invented that word just now. Definition will soon be on UrbanDictionary.com

That's history in the making, people! [Edit: Okay, so I googled it and found out that I didn't invent it, but I still submitted it to UD. Oh well.]

I will continue writing in this blog, I think. I already have a personal blog that I've kept for about 5 years now, but it's nice to have somewhere to write specific bits and pieces here and there.
