What Do You Mean, A New Blog?

I wonder how popular blogging is in 2012. Is it still going strong? Perhaps I am a little strange for sticking to this form of communication.. Isn't there a fancy new way of blogging now? Or even micro-blogging - 140 characters or less to tell the world you have eaten breakfast - and still I stick to this. Well, we don't all thrive on change..

I feel the need to get some of my creative energy put to good use, hence this blog. A journey of creativity, perhaps. I do tend to get fantastic ideas that never really lead anywhere, starting projects I never finish, or bouncing from one idea to the other. That is one of the reasons I can say a few sentences in Finnish, and am familiar with two idioms - though I can't guarantee the pronunciation is all that good, but I can write it out - but I don't really plan on learning Finnish. (Though sometimes I'd like to, just for the sake of learning something everyone deems 'too difficult')

For example, a while back I decided to learn German. This on top of the Spanish I was supposed to have learnt years ago.. And more recently, sign language. (This being much easier to pick up, especially with that kid's show, 'Something Special')

Here I plan to write about these crazy/ stupid/ interesting/ pointless projects. One of the first projects is to find readers! I am not entirely sure how I shall do this, but I'll keep thinking. One way is through my Facebook page, which I greatly encourage you to look at, and possibly even 'like'! :) I have two other blogs on a different account, and may very well move this one to the other account, but we'll see.

I have tried oil paints for the first time just a few days ago, so I shall be painting a new picture soon. Come back in a few days to see it! :)
