Do it for a month is back!
Posted on August 1, 2009, under August: Celebrity Gossiping.
You’ll be pleased to know that I’m going to start doing things for a month again!
If you’ve never been here before, here’s a quick overview: I (Warren Davies) was doing a psychology degree, and planned to start a blog about psychology (this idea eventually became Generally Thinking). I started a test blog, to learn about blogging, and just needed something to blog about while I figured out how to use Wordpress, social media sites, carnivals, and so on.
Just before this, I had been temporarily tee-total – I stopped drinking for one month as I’d been drinking a lot up to then, and also was just curious. The month after, I took part in Movember, which I was introduced to by Joel Brazil of Tipped. In Movember, you grow a moustache for a month, and you’re not allowed to shave it until the end of the month.
Realising I was doing things for a month, I wrote about that.I stopped updating this site once I was used to blogging, but it was pretty good fun so I’m going to start doing it again. Maybe not every month though.
The first thing I’m going to do for a month is celebrity gossiping. I hate celebrity gossip. I understand that it’s human nature to want to know what the high-status people are doing, but I don’t think it’s good for you to be interested. You’re sort of telling yourself that other lives are more important that your own. Plus, it’s not always fair on celebrities to have their private lives plastered all over the world. Some probably like the attention though.
So I’m doing what I hate. Could be interesting.
