I have realized that I was doing this whole blogging thing wrong. I kind of tried to do too much. Like, as if I were a real film critic. What I am not. And I don't want to be.

 So this whole thinking about how to write about a movie was really stupid of me. Nobody expects me to do a review. And nobody expects me to be perfect.

I started this blog to let my thoughts out. To talk to someone. But since I don't know whom I am talking to, I always think about the right frasing, the right words, mistakes. And so it started to be like work. Watching my tv shows and movies became work. But I wanted to do this for fun.

So, that's what I'm going to change: I won't limit my writing to media. This will be a real web log. Anything can happen. And I don't have to write about everything I watch. But if I do, I don't have to do a whole review.

Take for instance 'Outcast' - great show, you totally should watch it. But the season ended with lots of questions still unanswered. So I started to write a very elaborate text about what we know, what we don't know and some speculations of my own. Luckily for you, I lost the text. Or accidentally deleted it. Or subconsciously got rid of it. It was horrible.  

I would never talk like that to a friend. Or someone who knows the show. So why should I talk like that on this blog?! Why can't I stop thinking of you as strangers?! And even if I think of you as strangers, why should I care what you think?!

Don't get me wrong. I care about your thoughts about the things I write. I would like to really talk to you. To discuss with you. But I don't care about your thoughts about me and myself. 'Cause it doesn't change anything about how I think about myself. And it shouldn't.

So I will use this blog as a real web log. I will write like I would talk - well, probably not; talking and writing are never 100% equal. And I will think of you as my friends. Buddys. Pals.

I really hope, that this will make things easier for me. And that some of you might want to comment.
