but lack of inspiration= lack of motivation
and lack of motivation= lack of writing
and lack of all these things= lack of self worth
...but who's counting?
So alas, I opened this blank page empty handed.
"So.....why are you even writing this post?" - You may be asking your self.
And the answer simply is: It has been too long. It has been too long since a new post, or even since inspiration has struck. So I am turning to YOU to help me...which may be difficult since I really don't even know who "You" is. (are? is? ....hmmm)
Everyday (ish) I read blogs from bloggers who refurbish furniture, build their own beds, install spice cabinets into their walls, take family portraits, etc. Reading these makes me feel inspired, but yet worthless at the same time. Granted, I live in an apartment, so home renovating won't be happening for many moons. And I don't have multiple babies to sew diaper gene covers for like many of my High school colleagues do (Don't get me wrong..I am very thankful that I do not have to do that). So really, I don't have much to work with.
And it's already a task in itself (for me) to maintain my 2 bedroom apartment along with my busy work schedule at a bbq sports bar/restaurant.............. pathetic excuse, I know.
So I have decided, my next "project" is to update my blog. And by update I mean get a new background, add some of those cool pictures or buttons on the right hand side, and have a little intro/picture/title thingy at the top or the blog that all the cool people have. Now considering I am nowhere NEAR as Internet/Computer savvy as I should be, (which is 100% my fault considering I fall into the 'technology generation' category and I should know how to create a website and download illegal music, or at least create an organized list in Excel.) this may be a little bit difficult.
So I thought to myself "I used to put backgrounds and pictures and stuff on my profile on Myspace...so I can do this!". After a little research, I am clearly wrong. Not to mention I am picky as hell. BUT I am determined to do this on my own (and by "on my own" I mean, not having someone do it for me, which is what I usually do. Helpful hints, and tips...and tutorials would be FANTASTIC!). I have some inspirational and interesting ideas in my head...and since the title of this blog is The High Tide and I want it to be kind of dark and mysterious-ish...I was thinking something kind of like this.....
or this....
Now remember...these are just inspirations. It doesn't have to be EXACTLY LIKE THESE PICTURES. Soooo basically what i'm getting at with this big huge rant is...INSPIRE ME! Tell me what you think, give me ideas...help! thanks.
UPDATE: After doing "extensive" research today, and going through pages and pages of already made templates, and websites explaining how to create you own (which seemed like a foreign language btw) I feel like it is impossible and I want to give up. Which is how I feel about everything that has to do with technology if I don't understand it within the first fifteen minutes. I will keep trekking through it though. I suppose.
