Multitasking, A Double Edged Sword

I sure do love funny cat pics but I honestly don't even wanna think about what it's doing!

You know what the benefit of having multiple blogs is? I get to express different things I like to talk about. It all started with my good ol' aviation blog. It was meant to go along with the photo collection I got going. And oh, how convenient it was with Google and a single account by linking YouTube, Blogger and Picasa... until I realized Picasa had a limit! The digital space limit makes dedicated users BUY more memory... and Google makes money in the end. Lousy stinkin' rip-off...

You and me the same, baby puppy....

And when these corporate guys make money, they smile!

When Kaiba Google Corporation smiles, a puppy does die...

Thankfully, I switched over to Facebook for my aviation gallery by creating a page. And I discovered fellow aviation enthusiasts and their own Facebook pages with their galleries in the process. And thankfully, departing from my initial use of Picasa on my Google account yielded little to no consequences. And then there's this blog, which I originally started to just talk/rant about general things; in other words, subjects that might have been small to have its own blog for. And before you ask, no, I'm not gonna create more blogs anytime soon (I think four is plenty enough!). Usually, I just like to make fun of things, popular people, in addition to the things that drive me nuts (no pun intended!) that I sometimes seriously need to get out of my system... And I gotta say, I think this blog has done it's part well. As for people who ACTUALLY read my blogs, it's a different story. Sure, I would like to have tons of people subscribe and actually follow my blog. But in the long run, this blog is especially for me to utilize since I'm not the most conversational type of person out there so I make up for that via my blogs... But having followers read my updates (and this goes for my other three blogs as well!) would be a nice bonus because these are usually things I don't mind sharing with people.

Now as for my Japan and I guess what you can call my religion blog...

Shut up baby puppy!

...anyways, as I was saying, my two most recent blogs were pretty much the result of my two years that I spent doing missionary work in Japan (duh!). I think I can leave it at that.

The downside to running four separate blogs under the same account is it's pretty much multitasking. Sure when you multitask, you feel like you're getting a lot of things done but it's a double-edged sword. So why do we do it? When you're stressing over multiple things, you get a temporary feeling of satisfaction while attempting to get different things done ALL AT THE SAME TIME. But in reality, the result of multitasking most of the time is overall productivity in getting something done totally gets screwed over. You're more likely to make a lot of mistakes when you multitask. And going back to my blogs, the consequences of running four of them at a time has resulted in a lack of frequent updates. I get started on one blog for an update only to lose my focus and writing comes to a complete halt. Then I later feel remorse for being at a total loss for what blog I want to update next. It has become a rather intriguing dilemma. So why bother running four blogs at the same time you ask? Well, this dilemma actually keeps my mind occupied when I'm bored (and when you're living in rainy Oregon at this time of year, that's gonna be the likely case!) and I eventually just go off and focus on something else. And going back to the "having followers" thing, if I actually got flak from people for not updating, things might be a bit different. But for the time being, people are most likely not interested in what I have to say and I'm fine with that. Blogging takes a back seat in my life from time to time. Priorities are usually in order. And I still like writing for those that are interested in what I have to say. Thanks for reading if you actually did.

And if you have any funny ideas you want me to blog about, I'm all ears.
