Blog Entry 1: Why I am blogging

There are many blogs out there. Some are interesting and fun to read and follow, others are garbage and dribble. They can be a lot of work to maintain, having to remember to make regular posts, and having interesting things to say. However, there is a lot of opportunity to put down some legitimately interesting things and that is something that I am going to be doing, I hope.

Here is why I decided to make a blog. I have gotten back into models after the monotony of making various car models and the all time consuming school which is the reason I stopped building, I not longer had time to. But now I am back and with a powerful vengeance. I was cruising this site http://www.modelermagic.com/ and I found there some amazingly detailed models people custom made of some of my favorite properties that made me insanely jealous. An immaculately detailed Serenity, with full lights, Battlestar Galacticas and Vipers, these are things I decided I want to do. Fully knowing it will take a ton of time, and patience, and learning a lot of new skills on such a small scale to some would be tedious. To me it is tedious work, but for an end product that looks so good, that is what I want. So I will do it. This blog will act as a diary for how I build these models. This is reason one.

Reason two. I like to rant. Sometimes it is about trivial shit, but sometimes it is about things that could literally change the world. I strongly believe that the world needs to changes or it will at some point tear itself apart. I have a list of ideas to change the world that I want to share, I want to talk about, and I want to start discussions on. They are just ideas now but things have a habiting of growing and changing until they become some tangible and real. No goal to do anything radical... yet, maybe one day.

The last reason is for the nerdy fun aspect of it. Even if I post something no one will ever read, developing an idea or opinion, doing some light research to formulate something that has the potential to be an interesting read has value for me. Typing it up and posting it is just the end process of that. Prepare for what is hopefully an interesting read.
