The Eightiseventh One

I’ll be honest. I have nothing to say for the New Year’s post. Nothing insightful, perfunctory, or worthwhile. In fact, I feel like I have less to say this time than I have previously. I actually looked at my previous posts for inspiration. Nothing. I’ve...I’ve got nothing. But that might not be such a bad thing.

I think I’ve figured this out a few years ago but I’m not a typical blogger and never intended to be. I’m just not comfortable sharing my bare body with the rest of the internet. I’d rather cover myself up in a silly short film or in an academic paper. You get more investment in both my personality and character this way than if I posted some pictures from my trip to the LA Zoo (which was really disappointing). But of course I wonder why I’m not that type of blogger and sometimes I wish I was. That’s all I can do, though, is wish. It won’t ever come true, but it doesn’t have to.

What is there to expect from this free web-hosted domain in 2015? More Initial Impressions (6 that I have planned so far, 1 that’s in the editing phase), more short films (at least 3 by the end of the summer), and much more Random Chatterings (an episode a week? No, but at least 2 a month) I’m always open to suggestions, though. This blog doesn’t have to be a representation of my ideas. I’d love it if people volunteered to submit their own writing or if you submitted ideas for Random Chattering episodes. I don’t expect the blog audience to expand further from everyone who’s reading this right now and if I’m going to be a happier person in 2015, I’m gonna have to accept that.

I don’t want you all to worry about me. I’ve got my problems and you have yours. If I exposed too much about my personal life, it’ll deflect from the overall purpose of the blog: to entertain you all as much as I can. If that means making an ass out of myself on film or by saying something stupid on the podcast, so be it.

Have a safe and happy holidays, everyone!

See you in 2015!

Yours truly,
Arlill “Arley” Rodriguez
