Assignment/Blog 3

My feelings are shown so clearly through the colors, the layout, the text sizes, and text fonts.  I am hiding nothing at all.  As all of you can tell, I share whatever is on my heart and I am not scared to let my feelings show at all.  I feel that the only reason to keep an ongoing blog is to be real with those that are close to you or to those that need to hear the truth even when it’s hard, “These tedious old fools!” (2.2.218), “Bloody, bawdy villain!” (2.2.519). My blog is definitely doing that, so if I ever offend any of you then I sincerely apologize, but this is just how I really feel.  The colors on my blog are not very exciting and I’m sure most of you know why.  The only colors included in my blog are orange, red, grey, and black.  Visiting my blog is not a happy thing.  If you visit it you will find out right away that I am going through a lot of tough situations and mourning the loss of my father; this is very evident through the color choice, “His canon ‘gainst self-salughter. O God, God, /How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable/ Seem to me all the uses of this world!” (1.2.132-134).  The red and orange are representing ‘death’ and the dark colors, in general, are showing that I am in a tough stage in life and not many happy things going on. 

There is not much imagery/pictures being shown because that’s not what my focus is.  I am not happy, so why pretend that I am and post pictures to try to seem happy?  It just doesn’t seem right, it’s not how I’m feeling, and no amount of pictures can show how I am feeling on a daily basis.  Although, the font choices and font sizes do represent my feelings.  They are straight forward, the main posts are more bold, and when i sign my name at the end, i choose small and skinny font because its showing that i feel very little, sad, and depressed inside.  The set up of the entire blog is very straight forward and doesn’t have much to it.  I don’t have time to make it all ‘cute’, I don’t want to make it cute (cause that’s not how I’m feeling), and I want it to be easy to read.  Also, I’m a guy, I don’t like to decorate and I just want my blog to be easy to follow and straight forward.

Hope this help you follow my reasoning and makes sense as to why my blog is so plain,
