Every now and then I encounter a brief moment of inspiration that makes me want to better myself. It is these moments when I’m happy to have my own little world to express what it is I’m thinking at that moment.
Tonight I came across a blog of a virtual friend of mine. Virtual in the sense that I’ve never met her in real life, but only conversed with her via email. I read through her blog entries and soon found that I was engrossed in her writings. It wasn’t just about what she was writing, but was more in how she was writing. Her writing style was very succinct, coherent, and at the same time very personable. I enjoyed it. And it was then that I realized that this is why I started a blog of my own to begin with.
Wanting/needing to better my writing ability, I thought public expression would do me wonders in preparing me to write like her and the many others that have inspired me in the past.
Admittedly none of this works if I only manage to write an entry or two every month, which is what it has become these past few months. But I have my reasons for that. And as I move away from that, I hope to again re-establish my presence here online at smaku’s world.
And more often than not, when I do have that burst of inspiration, my thoughts are often jumbled up in my head. And because of that, what actually comes out in writing tends to be incoherent, disorganized, and a wonder as to why I even started writing it in the first place.
— An aside —
It was about a month or so ago when I finally realized something.
MACs are indeed far more superior than Windows.
Being a photographer and graphic designer, as one of my coworkers told me this morning, “it makes no sense why you use a PC at home.” And while I can still make some sense out of this fact, I have officially changed my perception of the Macintosh operating system. With the new release of Leopard coming in October, I am all set to purchase a new Macintosh computer.
Right out of the box it does so much more than Windows Vista would ever want to do. Being far more stable, loads of widgets to play with, and with CS3 being optimized for it, I really had no other reason to want to buy a PC anymore.
My current computer will remain with me of course, and will be my primary computer for entertainment purposes. My Macintosh will be used for work and play in a safer environment without any worries of viruses.
I digress, which is something that I do quite often.
Going back to inspiration, which was why I started this entry in the first place. I have to thank all the blogs, friends, and virtual friends that I visit every so often so I can get some sort of inspiration to keep me going in this world.
So while I may not have achieved my goal with this single post, I am happy that I have another start after an absence and lack of inspiration.
Be prepared as I will soon revamp my website once again. This time with an Apple influence. Yes, because it’s that darned good!
