Language Barrier, Blogging Style

7 Comments

When a blogger from another country who writes in a different language decides to follow your blog it can be a tricky situation. There is an obvious language barrier there and you wonder why they might be following along. Maybe its to help them learn your language or for other reasons. Seeing their blog written in their primary language can be interesting.

Some things you can figure out if they are written in certain languages while other blogs are written in completely different characters like Cyrillic, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Hindi etc. They can be fascinating to look at even though you can’t read a thing.

Yes there are translation tools online but I am not certain they are 100% reliable. I welcome people from all walks of life but I just hope there is some understanding there. Building bridges of communication is always better than burning them if you ask me.

Back To Work, It’s Going To Be A Long One

1 Comment

After a Monday off I am back to work on Tuesday. My schedule at work is going to be different over the next 4 days which is no big deal. It will include two 12 hour days but I will make it through. It’s good to shake things up every now and then. Let’s go to work. Have a great day everyone.

Old Soul, Young Soul, Age To Age

3 Comments

I am a older person who wants to have a younger soul, spirit, attitude. There are younger folks who have a old soul. Perhaps they both have something to contribute to the world..

We live in a world that is constantly changing and we have a choice to keep up or get left behind. How we relate to the world says something about us. People can embrace the new things going on or reject it by having the desire to live in the past.

As a older person I want to live in the world of the now and to understand it better. Remaining relevant is important because it informs you that you can still learn new things and meet people where they are. We all know people who live in the past and like it that way. Nothing in their lives changes.

Perhaps its a challenge to live in the here and now because you have to keep up. I think you can be a person of all generations while preserving the memories of your own era in time. The key thing is to live and learn where you are in the place you are.

There is a saying that old age ain’t for sissies and there is also a saying that youth will be served. Age to age, wisdom is still something everyone needs.

Rambling About Instagram

4 Comments

I think Instagram is a great instant photo sharing app. It does so many things well. However in looking at my past pix it seems its mostly food I capture or places where I get food. Maybe its just me buying into a stereotype about the platform that you gotta do a picture of what you are eating at any given time. People are interested in food but they are also interested in other things too like people, places, pets, that sort of thing. To me it helps tell ones personal story in a medium that says a thousand words and more.

There are other things I capture on Instagram such as events in my life and interesting things I see out and about.

What is your story with Instagram if you use it? How does it help tell the story of your life?

Your Posts, My Posts

10 Comments

As much as I love blogging and bloggers there is no way I can keep up with every post from every blogger I follow. Other things in life must be taken care of and blogging shouldn’t be a chore it should be something fun. Picking up from where you are at any given moment is probably the best way to keep up. If we took the time to look at every post from every blogger we knew then there would be less time for other things in life. Priorities do matter after all. Your posts are a part of you and my posts are a part of me but they aren’t everything that should consume us.

What is your experience with this? How do you manage your blogging time?
