Words vs. Pictures. Both tell a story. Words can often, but not always, allow the author to attempt to control what the reader perceives. These words set the stage, but the imagination can overpower your perception. Your imagination must create the imagery. A picture can often, but not always, set this stage, but context, action, and key nouns and verbs are not provided. You're given a quick sliver of the action, your imagination must provide the rest. They both tell a story, but in different ways. They each lack certain things to make a definite context.
My blog has shifted more and more towards a picture based story telling, which I love. Sometimes I ask myself what this blog is all about, and it slowly transforms from post to post, but I think it should be just that. Something that transforms through time. Something that is, as I feel like everything in life, evolving. Changing. The same is, well, the same. So, I feel like this will slowly return back to being more word based. Part of this reason is that I've welcomed Flickr with open arms. It's much easier to post and control photos through this webpage, rather than the clumsy blogger uploading, so for some picturas en su vida, check them out.

Now, I've also come to a crossroad with these words...I have nothing to say in my blog anymore. Or maybe it's just nothing that I care to sit down and write about. Quite honestly, I'm not sure why. Maybe too busy with other things, but I don't think that is it. My downtime definitely includes internetting, but there hasn't been anything where I'm thinking "Oh I've got to share that!". Hmmm, why am I sharing that I have nothing to share. I guess I'm dying to share sommmething.
Then I realize, this sharing here has been picture based, which is now flickr. Twitter is my news source, comedy, sports, etc, all rolled into one, as well as micro-blogging.
(Random twitter thought: I think everyone on there has to chuckle a little bit when someone is like, "Isn't twitter just facebook status updates??" I thought the same thing too, even when I first tried it, left it, then went back...and now love it. It just has so much more going on information-wise. To my Facebook friends, the one major difference is that when you start, it's not like FB where all of your friends "Friend" you, and now you're linked up. It's definitely takes some development time. But I think you'd get SO much more out of it, if you're into social media as just that---social MEDIA: news, ideas, and actually, whatever you want! My timeline is filled with obviously, what my friends have to say, but then also: professional photographers, photo blog sites, cyclists, food recipes, art websites, etc. Honestly, for people that love news, this would be great for you. People that love baseball, follow baseball players, leagues, teams, etc. You into pottery, yeah twitter has you covered. You just have to give it time to evolve with you...try it.)
And then I realized, most of my blogging became so cycling related...a way to connect to those that weren't at the races with me all summer. No racing now, just lots and lots of training.
oh yeah, new squad, stoked: www.mtborahcyclingteam.com Like us on FB and Twitter, YOUUUU KNOWWWW!
MTBO.
sooooo, random writings, who knows what this blog will become...but for now, it's trying to figure itself out.
