Go Shorty Its Your Birthday…You Can Shake It If You Want To

Oh ok, it aint anyone’s birthday, well not as yet at least. I have finally reached to the last day of June 2011, and it was yet another monster of a month. Next month is my birthday and I am quite excited about it. Its time to turn 26 and become one year older from last year in which I have set out to take over the world.

Well I might not want to take over the world completely but to make my name in the world. I have had quite a great deal of success within the last year with the re launch and focus on my blog, music, comedy and my videos.

Oh yea, you wanted to see some booty shaking huh, well this is probably the month for you in July to see me perform, or at least try to perform dances with my new video channel on youtube and my redesigned website. (http://www.richardoawilson.com – update coming soon)

I have so much to say and so little time to say it. I don’t like long blog posts, just know my birthday is coming and I want stuff. Also I have a new set of challenges and cool delights to hit my blog in July that everyone shall love. Stay tuned tomorrow for My Birthday Wish List.

When is your birthday? What did you want this year and what did you get?

Thanks for reading

Terrible News…I am selling my camera

Canon EOS Rebel T1i digital SLR camera, sold a...

It came down to the last draw based on the events of epic portion I am selling my camera.  I have been thinking of an upgrade for far too long and now believe in taking the steps to further my future passions and career.  So I am saying goodbye to my Canon Rebel and starting my epic jump to my Ultimate Goal of 2011 which is the Canon T3i.  I have thought of it quite hard and believe I might take it even further and go full on for the Canon 70D, no more kiddie games.

I have been a well skilled intermediate all-star for far too long and now taking control and making the epic investment being a Creative Professional in my photo and video equipment.  So as of today the goal is to shoot as much photo shoots or more with my Canon Rebel in July and create a creative photo challenge, and sell my camera or get rid of it in the beginning of August to scare myself into working super hard to replace in and purchase my new ultimate camera by September 2011.

I hope I am ready for this crazy monster challenge and move in my life to start to get moving.

Do you like photography?  Do you own a DLSR?  What brand of cameras do you like?

To Be “Freshly Pressed” by @WordPress @WordPressdotcom

I almost cried when I saw that I am “Freshly Pressed” on WordPress.  I was so excited.  I didn’t know what to expect from being on the front page and the #1 spot out of anything else.  To many it may seem as a big deal because they only want to have fame from being “Freshly Pressed“, but my reasons for being excited was I have been blogging for over 4 years on wordpress.com and being blogging ever since 2000 in total when people have never really knew what blogging was.

As of December 2010 I decided to set on the journey to be one of the BEST bloggers in the Blog-O-Sphere and never look back at my average posts as I use to do.  I wanted to be more personal, more creative, more interactive and more social with everyone.  So I decided to put my life in the everything I do.  This was the why I held my WordPress Blog and My YouTube Channel as my top priority and I said I am going to do it and never stop.

Thanks to WordPress and it’s motivational and inspirational goal to help bloggers by creating the challenge “PostADay2011” and “PostAWeek2011” I was definitely hype to get on board and grow as a blogger and challenge myself to produce great content.  So I started doing “PostADay2011” and set my goal to be featured one day on “Freshly Pressed” in 2011 as of January 2011.  I wrote everyday and posted everyday to make sure I on top of this challenge and NEVER FAIL.  I was a bit discouraged that others were being featured and I felt I was writing great content, but I said to myself that me writing blogs and content is NOT for FAME, it’s about doing me and enjoying what I do everyday no matter if anyone ever sees it.  I loved blogging and I ready to set my progress.  Also I was always helpful and spreading the good word and tools that WordPress offered.  The best advice I could give to everyone, was START TODAY and JUST DO IT and NEVER STOP or LOOK BACK (only to reflect from where you are coming from).  So after 6 months going on 7 months I reached to where I am now, Freshly Pressed and one of my GOALS to MYSELF in 2011 accomplished by being featured on the main page.

There is only one thing that can express my feelings to being “Freshly Pressed” and that’s just a BIG O SMILE.

Remember my BEST ADVICE TO YOU:

“START TODAY and JUST DO IT and NEVER STOP or LOOK BACK“

Tumblr: The Unspoken Truth – Don’t Talk About TUMBLR

Image representing Tumblr as depicted in Crunc...

The users of Tumblr are a very serious bunch.  They have created rules about they world of blogging.  The number one rule of Tumblr is to NOT TALK ABOUT TUMBLR.  I find it to be a very weird rule.  But in the minds of it’s prime users, its a double edge sword.  They want you to visit their blogs and they will tell you to visit their blogs, but you are not allowed (or they will hurt you down and hate you) if you judge them on their choice of posts on tumblr.

My take on Tumblr.  Tumblr is a pretty cool blogging network of people that are very visual and expressive.  Tumblr is the Twitter of the blogging world, in which you follow the people who post the things you like to see.  Tumblr is what Twitter could of been if it was to compete with Facebook.  Tumblr to me, is filled with copyright infringement media and porn.  Tumblr may claim more views than other blog services such as WordPress, Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal, but it’s value for words and content is not there.  Tumblr has a hard time to be indexed into Google based on its very much overly used reblog feature of content and lack of originality, with it’s primary users re-blogging very explicit photos and other self promotional content (in which is considered more of duplicated content and spam).  Tumblr is more a perfect setting for the younger crowd to express themselves and what they actually enjoy seeing, though not wanting to be judged on their likes.

So the question is do I have a Tumblr?  Why yes, but for me to use it, I rather create something original and rich of content than follow the crowd of unoriginal re-noters, re-bloggers, and more…Please note there are amazing blogs and content by people that uses Tumblr as their main blogging platform, but it’s very hard for them to be noticed based on the overcrowding of spam and not being able to greatly be indexed into google and other search engines.  Also being side tracked by other reblogging the same exact popular posts and failing to including new and amazing posts.  Also haters too.

I love WordPress, and it’s my number one blog service of choice.  But you be seen you can always share your writing (aka distribution) to other places and services.  Always remember to back link your WordPress post as the original writing.  Hopefully I can bring some awesomeness to Tumblr.

What do you think of my post?  Do you have a Tumblr?  Do you use WordPress, Tumblr, Blogger more than the other.
