blog critique.

i don't really read other peoples blogs too mcuh these days. but back in the day, i read a few of them regularly. probably one of the FIRST ever blogs i discovered was PINKISTHENEWBLOG. i enjoyed it reading trent's updates because well, it's full of the latest and juiciest celeb gossips!! and come on, who doesnt love reading about what britney spears was doing last night?! i know everyone does to some extent in their lives...

PITB (for short..) is created by trent vanegas, who is an ex-teacher from detroit, USA. most of his readers basically know who he is cause in pretty much every entry, at the end he fills us in on his own personal life. so we get to know about his gay lover, fmaily and friends, not to mention all the coool gigs he gets to attend ... eg. like, meeting his idol MADONNA. guess you could say he's a bit like PEREZ HILTON, a fellow blogger, who is also gay && LOVES PINK! in my opinion the difference is,... trent was here first!

the blog's content is entertainment, news and gossip!! in each entry, trent gives his audience the latest celeb gossip, complete with pictures (some are explicit!) and he also adds his own personal opinion to each news item. after talknig bout celebs, he likes to talk about his own life and what he gets up to everyday.

the blog has been operating for several years now...since 2004, so that's almost 4 years of blogging!! =D woww he is dedicateddd.

pinkisthenewblog has been quoted in various media products such as magazines like cosmopolitan and cleo. as myself have observed over the years...many celebs are also affliated with him...for example... joel madden of good charlotte...that boy is good friends with trent. =)

the blogs style is basically that used by blogspot or blogger.com and uses pink and black. the background is black and the font colours used are pink, however, where trent copies and pastes excerpts from news articles, he puts them in white font. there are also a number of different ads placed down either side of the page as you scroll down. oh and did i mention he also writes in BOLD each celebritys name, so you know who he is talking bout. trent also personalises his pictures by captionalising each pic.

so i guess you could say that pinkisthenewblog has become quiite popular over the 4 years, amongst those who love reading about celebs. its soo juiicyyy and enjoyable for people who like reading SOFT news. =)

but...personally...in recent months...i think perez hilton has taken over as most popular blogger.... =)

well, guess thats it!

we are broken.

i feel like venting. but not too much. too much will get me in trouble.

i find it sad when people think the world revolves around them. and when they're pushing others out of their lives. it's sad, because it's not fair to those that still want to spend time with you. for fun times. it's happening to me. it's happening to other people i know. it's not fair on us.

i miss the days where we would all just hang out, and have a good time. =] felt like there were no cares in the world. we were all like, a team. a group that supported each other.

where have those days gone?
i feel like those memories are slowly slipping away ...hanging by a thread.

one day. soon. i hope you welcome us back into your lives.

so. even though, i'm just gonna keep living my life the way i want to, i want my friends back.it's a new year. time for a fresh start. with friends, new and old.

2008 WOOT! a new year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

well, last night was freakiin awesome! first time i have actually drank more than 1 alcoholic drink on NYE hahaha. GOOOOD STUFF! watched the fireworks from milson's point. fireworks were insanely good <3 they're always pretty awesome, i reckon. the day/night brought plenty of randomness ie. talking to firemen, plunking our asses in the middle of the road (lol that doesn't happen EVERY day!). not to mention ... EVERYONE got pretty sunburnt. even me! and i don't usually get it.

what is quiite funny...the friends i spent nye with were basically all people i have met and only known in 2007! i now know the people who i would rather hang with and are actually KEEEN on the stuff i go to ..like duude, i invited one of my best friends to MOS tonight, and she didn't even seem enthusiastic about iit. so she basically denied my invite. wtf?! IT'S FREE TICKETS!

ii met awesome people who have become friends in 2007, whether it's been from insearch, fiddler nights, or good charlotte gigs. they're the kids who seem to enjoy every moment and not really worry about what the future brings. they take life as it comes. enjoy it.

i'm not saying that i don't like the friends i spent 6 years of high school with anymore, i'm just saying that my outlook on life seems to appear differently to that of theirs.. we all change, it's a part of life. i still keep in contact with those people but as for being #1 on my social circle... hhhmmm .... if any of them read this, i'm not trying to insult you or anything, and I DON'T HATE YOU. some of you will always be my best friends. that'll be FOREVER. and i'm just gonna admit now, schoolies '06 was probably one of the best memories with you, even though that was the first beginning of change in our friendship group. (others may agree...)

to the new kids ii befriended in '07 ... whether you're in sydney, melbourne, adelaide, or even around europe .... let's keep rockin' at life in '08. more parties, concerts, festivals, TOURS! hope you enjoy what 2008 will bring to you, as i will!

in 3 short words to describe the upcoming year ...

WE'RE DOIN' IT!

xx. friends forever. xx.
