Learn French in One Word

Learning French was never so easy

Other newness :

I opened a Facebook page !

Keep up with videos over here and have a great week

And remember — use it spaaaaringly. You wouldn’t want people to think you’re uneducated or don’t have any words other than this one…unless you really don’t have any words other than this one.

And

Don’t forget -> you can still help me make Extreme Jump Roping a reality at Tribeca by signing into your YouTube account and hitting the green “thumbs up” over here

Kickass. Thank you.

A day in the life – le champagne

One of my favorite subjects..thank goodness there are 5 types of champagne

About the t-shirt (warning, you might be offended)

The rest of the “day in the life” videos are over here

bloggers do it better with champagne

Overheard on the street :

Bloggers don’t even get up til 10, they’re too busy..blogging or something..

Wait – WHAT ???

Personally I get up at 7:30 7:45 every weekday morning to get to work on time. And the majority of bloggers I know have steady jobs that also require them to get up and about well before 10am.

I’m not sure why, but this comment struck me.

Do people really not “get” bloggers? Can you, if you don’t blog yourself?

But then, who am I to “defend” bloggers? Maybe some of you do roll out at 10 am..

So I decided to compile a list of all of the reasons I’ve seen or heard about for why people blog.

Just to clear things up.

Some of them apply to me ; many do not. Please add your own (whether they apply to you or not ):

1. I’m a creative spirit that has to get some thoughts out
2. I want to bounce ideas around with others
3. I want to expand my social network, personally or professionally
4. I want to share my art – writing, photography, video, web design, etc
5. I want to comment on things that bother me/that I like
6. I want to challenge stereotypes
7. Copy-paste is the best invention ever
8. Hyperlinks are the best. invention. ever.
9. I love pictures or videos of myself
10. I want to share my latest finds – online or offline
11. It helps me keep up my crack addiction
12. It helps me beat my crack addiction
13. I was pushed into it (willingly or not) by a friend or colleague
14. I want to share/develop a certain expertise
15. I’m already famous and want to connect with the peeps
16. I’m a fanboy and always will be
17. I want to share a part of me that I can’t share offline
18. I have nothing to hide
19. I live through my online personality
20. I wanted to better understand others in a given blogging community
21. I was born to blog, I can’t imagine anything else
22. Sharing my own thoughts helps me learn
23. Money, gifts, and backlinks, oh my
24. I want a record of things I’ve done/seen/visited
25. I want to be a part of the latest trends
26. I am the latest trend. duh.

That’s all I’ve got so far

What are your reasons ?

And if you don’t blog, why ?

**sincere tone here, not the “why?! dammit — why don’t you blog?!?!” ;D **
