My primary blog, 'In my world,' is about my thoughts about the world and things I like. Not so much personal stuff. I'm a private person who wants to keep it that way. Also, visit my 'MiaPhotolio'

Blogging 201: Setting goals

In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!
– Galadriel (Lord of the rings)

OK, not really 😀

I’m taking part of Blogging 201 and it’s day one. It’s about setting goals to you blog. Well, what are my goals exactly. I’m never been good at setting goals. I guess I’ve been disappointed too many times. I used to have dreams but they’ve got dashed (for different reasons) That’s the same with goals. When I make goals, things always change. Maybe I just expect too much. So I’ve learned, if you don’t expect too much, you don’t get disappointed. Sad but true.

So with the blog I won’t have any special goals. What I really, really want (Spice Girls anyone 😉 ) is people to read what I write. I stopped looking at the stats. They are just guidelines anyway. I don’t want much from this blog. No fame, no fortune. I just want to share my thoughts with someone. And of course some comments once in a while. What it comes to Twitter and Facebook. Won’t give a damn. This is for WordPress only. But if someone wants to follow me there, just go a head. I won’t mind. Just one thing, I don’t ‘collect’ followers. If someone just want to increase their following base, don’t bother. Thank you.

So:

  • No special goals
  • To have at least one comment per post (minus pingbacks, real comments please)
  • To write at least once per day (maybe not post them)

Weekly Writing Challenge:Time for poetry

MiaLeave a comment

I’ve written poetry a few times but they are  something I rather keep for myself. And they’re not that good. I like rhyming poetry.
Here’s something that I just made up.

Chores
If I don’t do the dishes, they make me sleep with the fishes

If I clean, I might get a spleen

Doing the laundry makes my face tawny

Clean the bathroom if you wanna and don’t forget the sauna

Chores is a must but sometimes you just don’t feel the lust

What to do, is up to you

Do it or not but don’t complain if everything’s dirty

You just have to beg for mercy

Sunday Bloody Sunday

And I don’t mean that U2 song. I mean this Sunday or any other Sunday in general. I used to watch Formula One and the races were always on Sunday’s. But since my favorite driver retired from the series to go to another one, I stopped caring. It was a part of my life for almost 14 years. I planned my whole weekends around it. My mother couldn’t understand it at all. I watched other motor sports as well but now they don’t interest me that much. People that I follow are mostly motor sport fans and they post a lot about F1. Especially on race weekends. Honestly, I’m just bored with it. But they are nice people so I don’t want to un-follow them either. And if I do, I won’t have anyone to follow. I used to read their Twitter or Facebook post but now I just scroll and scroll. I thought I would be interested in sport the rest of my life. But my interest are elsewhere.

I did not always be a sports fan. I only watched some ice hockey or football (that’s British football) when I was younger. I was always a music and movie fan first. It was only when I became an adult that I started to watch sport. But now it feels like I’m back again to where I was when I was a teenager. Maybe it’s just temporary.
Watching sport does give a special feeling. Something I didn’t get from other things. The excitement and the unity with other fans. It was like a new religion. The atmosphere in sport events are uncanny. I’ve seen football, ice hockey and alpine skiing live. That’s it when it comes to watching sport out of the house (or in my case, flat) I mostly watched sport on TV or on the internet. I hope I could see tennis live at least once in my life.

Next Sunday though, the motor sport series that my favorite driver will race in starts. Maybe I’ll change my mind about motor sport after all. At least I won’t discard it entirely.

What comes to my own sporty achievements. Well, 7th in cross-country skiing when I was 7 and bronze in handball. But I didn’t play in that tournament but since it’s a team sport, that can be counted in. I’ve never been into competing that much. I rather watch others breaking a sweat 😀
