So, I guess I’ll be blogging more today. Well, these days, actually. I’m enrolled in Journalism 109 right now—Writing for Popular Audiences. It’s quite strange actually, the title mentions Popular Audiences, but then the course description (as I found out only moments before the class) will have us writing technical stuff. Or is it in a technical manner? Well, not really. Our prof cleared that up for us. Apparently, the strict-ness is just UP forcing something down our throats—again.

Let’s not get to defining techniques, technicality, and technology right now, but yes, we will be writing technical AND technological stuff. BUT! The technique is the point here. We will be writing in a way that will be easy to read for the general public, at least, for our targeted audience. I think it will be kinda like euphemized paraphrasing.

Speaking of our chosen audience, you might be wondering who I chose to write for. If you’re reading this, I guess it’s you, then!

This is blog for all of my age

Asking the questions we’ve got to face

For in this cycle that we call life

We are the ones who are next in line...

Nice, isn’t it? But, not quite true. Not quite.

I’m writing this for me—for people who think like me, the young, young-ish, and young at heart. The cynical, the romantic. Those who’ve been hurt but still weep when they hurt back. Those who’ve sat before their computers dumbfounded, and moments later churn out what they are convinced is the work of their lives

I’m writing this for those who can’t say that they’re scared, and yet who can’t say that they’re not scared.

I’m writing this for those who don’t know where to go or how to get there. Yet, have never stopped trying to move forward. Those who have trod blindly, and in so doing are beaten out their own path.

Yes, yes, I’m writing this for me.
