This Blog Is About Other Blogs

I was just sitting here in front of my laptop… just sitting… not even surfing, just sitting and feeling that sense of dread that always seems to come over me whenever I try to make a major change in my life.  If you’re wondering, that sense of dread is the fear of failure.  And I feel it just before I decide to do something I’m afraid to do.

What am I afraid to do?  Glad you asked.  I’m afraid to write a blog post.

Stop laughing.  I know that at this moment I’m writing a blog post right now.  This is how I’m overcoming the fear.  But this post isn’t about fighting the fear, that’s another post.  This post is about other blogs.  Namely mine.

I’ve finally figured out that just putting in the title, “This Blog Is About…” whatever isn’t gonna cut it too well.  I want readers and subscribers and a way to ethically make money online so I can quit my shitty job at Starbucks, (Just kidding Mr. Shultz!)  Seriously, I want to work online so I can get up at noon and after my prayer and meditation, (Shut up!  I do so!) I can fire up ol’ laptoppy and get to work by moving from the bed to the desk.  Not even a full step.

I figure that in order to do that I have to pick a little more focused topic than this blog.  I gotta blog on a niche, dammit.

But what to write on?  Obviously I can write on things that I’m good at or I’m really interested in, like…

• Anime
• Manga
• Otaku culture in general
• Comic books
• Movies
• Customer service (believe it or not, my people pleasing behavior has a place in this world
• 12 step addiction programs
• My views on God and Spirituality
• Article writing
• Nerd culture (See Otaku) and…
• Other stuff I can’t think of.

So I decided to start another blog about Otaku since I’m on a Japanese pop culture kick and keep this one whenever I have some random bs to say.  I even have a title.  It’s called This Blog Is About Otaku and as soon as it’s up and running I’ll let you know when to check it out.

Wish me luck, okay?
