My lack of sensitivity....

So yesterday I wrote a blog in reference to the frequency in which I will be writing blogs. Note this: THE POST WAS ABOUT ME STARTING TO WRITE A NEW BLOG EVERYDAY. The rest was said jokingly, with a FEW serious statements. But nothing was to be taken to heart. Jokingly people tell me I have nothing better to do or I'm bored, and to those people, I am not referencing you. But there are others out there that truly are, what some would say; against me, and so that was more or less to them.

Some people laughed at yesterday's blog. And some people didn't. The people that had never seen that side of me were in shock and awe. But those who know how I can get, laughed it off and told me to stop acting stupid.


There will be times I write blogs that people my not agree with, or my feel hurt by. Put a comment below and I'll address it. I'm never going to go to far or just seem out right rude or incompetent, but everyone is not going to agree with what I say, and I may even say things that are shocking.

Just note, they are thoughts, nothing is charted out or planned, I write it as I think it. If you need clarification about something, click on "add comment" below and I'll address it.

It was not about kicking people out of my life. That will come later...HAHAHA!!

In reference to a few things. The blog was e-mailed to my family, but more people than just my family read the blogs. Below are a few responses that I had to make in order for people not to smear my name in the streets do to miscommunication:

"my blog was very general and called no one out...anyone that was offended called themselves out..."

"but people can be a bit sensitive..."

"I only have the e-mails of family...but many other people read my blogs...so it was a very general blog...with no references to any particular person"

"just wanted to inform most people that I am writing blogs everyday now..."

"more or less to be informative...I just got heated near the end...but more than just family read my blogs..."

"So I had to add a disclaimer to the beginning of my blog because I realized more people took it personally than necessary. Not all off of my blogs have been of this nature. This is [yesterday]’s blog, other blogs, included some of my poems and videos are of encouragement, everyday events, and other things in life, not just my own."

"I hope people don’t read this one blog and get an incorrect perspective of who I am, without reading any of the other blogs that I have posted. If so, that is a regard to their own shallowness in judging who I am based on what I’ve written in 1 blog, disregarding anything else I have written, because they have read none of the others."

But if you were offended I do apologize, but remember my life is just as real as yours and you should respect that. But please do read my other blogs if you haven't. You will see that many of them are not like the last one.

But in addition to random blogs there will be discussions of events in my life, and they may offended some people. Yet, for me to overcome my own trials, I will need to address them, and if someone is offended by that, then they themselves my be the trial that I am overcoming. And if you feel that it is you, just ask evin.grant@gmail.com.

I will let you know if it has anything to do with you or not. But if you don't think it is about you, don't take it so personally. Unless I blatantly call you out, then don't assume it is about you, because then there will be unnecessary hostility that could have been avoided.

**And also, this blog was not written at work, it was written the day before and set to post in the morning. Many of my blogs are pre-written and set to post while I'm at work, so no, I don't write blogs at work everyday. To help clear that up as well - not directed at any particular person - another GENERAL statement (so I really hope I don't have say this in every personal blog)**

Thanks,

When The Sun Is At It's Highest Point...and Some Spring Cleaning!

**PAY ATTENTION/ Disclaimer - this is to be taken lightly...I am not stepping on anyone's toes...just wrote it how I thought it. Don't take stuff too personally, a lot of times it is me and has nothing to do with you. I just wrote it how I thought it, a lot of times I'll just say how I feel about something...and if someone gets offended...i just tell them don't point an angry finger at me for saying it...point an angry finger at yourself for doing it against me.../ and again I edit - this is meant to inform everyone about the frequency in which I will be writing blogs. Anything at the end is mind farts that came out as I typed, but they will not be removed, for I have the freedom to express how I choose./ there will be a follow up blog in regards to this tomorrow.**

So last night I decided (well it's been something I though about for a while), that I am going to try and post a blog once a day, and by noon on each day. Whether that means, creating it the night before and setting it to post the next morning, or just posting one each day before the afternoon.

Either way, if you check my blog every day after noon, there will be something new. So that will require you to check my blogs EVERYDAY, or spend 1 day catching up on all that you missed. This will help get traffic to this blog, my Artistry blog, and my YouTube Channel.

As far as my artistry blog, I will try to have at least 2-3 new post every week. That is the same with my YouTube account. So believe THERE WILL BE RANDOM POST (most like about "nothing"), because of my attempt to create them consistently.

And [some people are] saying "oh you must have nothing to do", "you must have too much free time", "get a hobby"...well surprise to you, this is my hobby. In my creation of these and my videos I have no free time. If you have been keeping up, I am behind on pictures on my Grant Photography page.

But to anyone who feels that this or my YouTube post is done out of boredom, or lack of something better to do. You are sadly mistaken. They are done as a form of expression. They are done as a "hobby" which I choose to do out of interest in expressing my thoughts to the world, and not out of boredom.

I
apologize that you don't have the free time to explore everything you are interested in your own life, but DO NOT rain on my parade in light of supporting what I choose to do.

In other words, be a part of my life, or get out of my life.

I'm spring cleaning, so don't get thrown away with the trash. Cause either way I'll encourage myself.

Love you all,
*Green

Comment below if you so desire. I've had to edit it due to misconceptions on what this was about. Tomorrow's blog will address that.

More to Me (Clickable Title)

So I said, hey, why not. There is more to me than just the changes in my life. I'm an artist. I have talent. I am more than a man sitting hopeless behind a desk waiting for life to grab him and say "Hey, lets do something!". I am doing something on my own. I know I've already posted for today, this is to inform that I have now created another blog, which will lead you into my artistic mind. Along with my photography, you will be engulfed you the imagination I present to you through verbal imagery, in which I paint a picture with just my words, in the form of song and poem.


To get there, just click the title of this post, or in my pages link click the Artistry Blog link.

*Enjoy!

The First of who knows how many...


So I'm wondering why I am doing this blog thing. How will it caught on with me, will it affect my life in anyway. Probably not. I'll probably stop in like a week. So, I'm starting this blog thing, along with 2 other sites that I'm trying to get together. One is my YouTube account (click here) which will have video of what goes on randomly. The other, is my photography website (click here), which is still in the making.

Now I have a Blogger, which at the moment seems a little stale. Guess because I don't really know what to talk about. I'm not going to get to personal, but I'm not going to be vague and boring, to where my life doesn't seem interesting

There is a multitude of things happening in my life. Some worth sharing, and some not worth digging into. Also, my next few post are going to be notes that I had written a while on Facebook, and I think I want to share. So those will be going up later this afternoon. There are maybe 3 or 4.

For now, I don't have much to give you. If there is anything specific you're wanting to know, hear, etc...just let me know. I'm sure you can find it somewhere. But right now, I'm not really trying to get too deep into my life. Maybe another day when I don't have much to you do I'll explain who I am, what I do, what I'm about. For right now, thanks for tuning in.
