It's BLOG! It's BLOG! It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.

I've had this blog for 4 years now. Over 550 posts. And you know what? I find my posts terribly boring.

When I first started blogging my intentions where to write ideas, questions, tips, etc. about Bellydance. All of which are already out there on some blog or forum and much more elegantly written than I could ever do. "Why do something twice?" I thought. Then I thought I would post dance videos and other quirky BD stuff I found. Already done as well, ad nauseum.

I could start writing articles about my personal BD opinions. I have some. I do. A lot actually, but I strongly believe Bellydance is that mythical beautiful, creative, personal experience everyone is entitled too. I particularly hate reading biased closed minded opinions. I am not too fond of the idea of turning into that asshole. And for me to piss on someone else's parade would be hypocritical.

Don't worry, I'm not going to stop blogging. I'm just saying...


"It's better than bad. It's good!"

I say write your opinions. As long as you bill them as YOUR opinions, then it is just entertaining reading for most of us. Screw what other people think.

ANNNND, your tutorials are really good. I loved the fire tray one, and would love a costume one. Maybe the thrust of the blog could be educational?

I likes what you do :)

You put your stuff forward in a way which is really great. Keep up the fun!

I love the little snippets you post, the in-process costuming pics, and your local events. It makes me feel connected to have the "day in the life" peeks into another dancer's life. Keep it up!
