All of the ideas

So, I have been thinking what I really want to do with my channel. I enjoy vlogging, but a gimmick seems fun as well. So, as I said, I've been thinking and in this blog I will try to create order out of chaos. Below I'll put the ideas I had so far with the benefits and downsides of it. Since I count vlogging as a standard benefit, I won't count that as one below.

Some of the ideas I have come up with are:
  1. Do a vlog in Japanese every once in a while. This has one benefits: I get to practice a language that I like (Japanese). As of now I don't see any downside for this idea.
  2. Make movie reviews, either monthly or weekly. This has has one benefits: I get watch movies. It has one downside, it'll be expensive to go to the movies regularly.
  3. Make vlogs of me going to several different musea. This has one benefit: I will become more cultured. Again the downside is that it will be expensive to travel to different musea on a regular basis, also I won't be able to do them regularly, because I study during the midweek and work in the weekend.
  4. Make videos about Nerdfighter gatherings. This has one benefits: I will meet many more Nerdfighters, who as we all know are made out of awesome. Two downsides though: it will cost money to go to all these gatherings and they are mostly during the weekend, which is when I work. So it'll cost me money on two fronts.
The cost downsides for movie reviews and musea can be fixed easily; I get a movie unlimited card and a museum card, respectively.
But the downsides for going to Nerdfighter gatherings are less easy to fix. The ideas I had for that so far are: getting a job during midweek nights. But I have a steady job that I actually like now, and we all know how hard they are to come by. Going only once every 3 months, but then I will probably miss a lot of them.

So for now I will probably just do Japanese vlogs every once in a while. And I will look into the movie and museum cards.

First blog, yeah :)

So, I've tried bloggin a few times before, but I never really followed through.
This WILL be different, for several reasons:

1. I want to write a book and blogging seems like a good way to practice. I will also start participating at NaNoWriMo in order to practice.
2. I have thoughts rolling around in my head all the time, to quick for me to catch. I will use my blogs to order my thoughts and remember my ideas.
3. Lastly, I also make vlogs on youtube and one of my... I'm not sure whatchamacallit, one of the reasons??? that I started vlogging, also blogs. And I really hope to become an open and forthright person like her.

Now a few things about me:
1. I'm studying computer science at the Hague University. It's been a lot of fun so far. I have had 2 project and am currently working on my 3rd. The first project was to build an application that has a connection with a database.
Although this was very interesting, I liked the second project more. This was because we had to make a game, in this case Sokoban, and it has become the basis for a game that I am currently designing (though not for school, just for myself and maybe later for you).
I am currently working on a maintenance project, which means that we have been given a pre-build application that we are supposed to improve through several releases. Alse we get several incident reports, which we are supposed to resolve.

2. I have started vlogging this year. I am still very new at it and I'm not sure what I really want to on my channel. So, for now I am making random videos. I have several ideas for things that I can do and I will try them out, hoping that I will find something that I really want to do in the long run.
I also really want to go to vidcon one day, but the soonest that I can go to will probably be in 2 years. Next year I want to go to Japan, which I am really looking forward to. After that I'll just have to see if I can save up enough money to go to vidcon the year after.

3. I play Warhammer, both Fantasy and 40K. It is one of the things that I can fully focus on and helps me clear my mind. I have collected several armies already, most recently Blood Angels and Warriors of Chaos. The next army that I want is Ogre Kingdoms. I have a cool (at least I think it's cool, and that's all that really matters in this hobby) to convert, base and paint it. I will probably vlog about the conversions and painting. But it'll have to wait 'till after my birthday, since by then I'll have saved up enough to buy it in one take.

Well, it's getting pretty late and I still have to finish some documention for my project by tomorrow. So I'll stop the blog here. I have one last thing to ask; I get most of my inspiration from other people when I do things, so if you happen to know a blogger that you really like and think I might like as well, please send me a link. I'll be sure to check her/him out.
