Look at my tan stomach!

I am the tannest of them all!

So recently I have been thinking about the point of my Livejournal, and where I want to progress with it.

I have a couple of goals in creating this journal:

1. First and foremost I want to archive important memories and events in my life, for nostalgic purposes.

2. I want to entertain and amuse anyone who comes across my journal, as well as the people who read it regularly, both through humorous anecdotes and humorous recollections.

3. I want to provide a means of expressing my creativity and opinions, that will be read and available to and by the general public. There is nothing greater than having a platform that you can use to write ANYTHING you want. The journal is a step up from a normal webpage to me, because of the ease of updating, and the tight knit community that it creates online. People who have similar interests might just randomly read my journal. That is a neat feeling.

4. I want to stimulate discussion and intelligent conversation through my journal and the commenting feature. Similar to sites such as kuro5hin and, to some extent, Slashdot. I have yet to achieve this, but it still is one of my goals. I think I would need to attract a wider audience, in order to have a stimulating debate. Or maybe I should just leave it to the sites that do it well already. Maybe I have too my ambitions set too high.

So, my internal debate as to where I want to take this journal has been one of the reasons I haven’t really posted anything of substance lately.

I think, until I fully decide on a format, I will just write about whatever is on my mind.

Nothing more, nothing less.
