Hello World!

Ok, I wrote this blog post at 3am and I couldn't think of good name for my first post. But I am excited to be starting another blog. Yes, this is my second. My first blog I started less than a month ago and I loved blogging so much that I felt I needed another one.

This summer, I came up with the idea to create a pop culture blog. It would be my first foray into the world of blogging and I was a little apprehensive. Would people read my blog? Would they find my writing interesting? Funny? I'm not a funny person, I'll be the first to tell you that.

So I created my first blog SunofSam on Wordpress as a means of practicing blogging for my pop culture blog, and also to promote my personal brand.

SunofSam is a blog about all the things I'm interested in, ranging from my interest in communications to my love affair with music and pop culture. So basically everything I'm interested in; which is a lot.

So instead of cramming all my interests in one place, I decided that I would use this blog for my career interests; communications, advertising, public relations, marketing and social media. And SunofSam would be for other areas that interest me such as music and fantasy writing.

It also made sense from a stylistic standpoint as well. I wrote a pretty funny story on SunofSam that had some colorful language in it, and I routinely use expletives on SunofSam. Even though I would want my potential employers and other people looking me up to see that I am creative, have a sense of humor and a personality, I think it would just be wise to separate the two. This way, both my creative and my professional sides are catered to.

Since this is my second blog (and I will also be blogging about ACC basketball and pop culture in the fall), I need to formulate a blogging strategy so that I'm not wearing myself thin.

On SunofSam, it's like I'm all hopped up on sugar; I'll write about 6-9 posts in a day. Yikes! There's no way I could keep that up plus school, my other blogging commitments, and work.

So I'm thinking for this blog I'll write a post once or twice a week. Or everyday I may compile a list of important articles, news, tweets, etc. for you to read, and then write a long post about once a week. Who knows, we shall see.

But enough about me for now. This blog will be about you. I created this blog as a means of learning more about communications and social media, and I hope that by reading, you'll learn something too.
