Song of the VLOG Blog:
"Baby, look at me
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time
I'll make you forget the rest"

VEDA ... Vlog Every Day in August... or Vlogust.
My friend Minneboo made me aware of the concept of the challenge of vlogging every day this month. He had started doing it himself already. Not fair of course, (hahaha) - because he is a journalist and just goes about interviewing all these cool comic book artists and has about half an hour of awesomeness to send out to the world of the interwebs! But honestly, we all have stories to tell. About our lives, hobbies, passions. There are plenty of things someone can share, something that SOMEONE will have an interest in.
Be it collecting empty chip bags (here) or the love for an animated DUCK.

The question is, what platform shall one use. Will you BLOG or VLOG, or why not both.
Michael Minneboo creates a blog each time he does a vlog, coupling the two... hand in hand, creating a symbiotic partnership between the social media. Plus heralding the whole process by announcing the new editions on the other popular digital outlets: Twitter and Instagram. I stayed away from most of the social media for a long time. It was taking up too much time and I felt like it was taken over by too much negativity. Facebook was one of the first ones I kinda gave up on. The last 5 years I haven't been that active and have cut out a lot of junk posts and ignored / deleted stuff that just doesn't appeal to me. I did befriend a lot more cartoonists and like-minded people recently, following photography groups and focusing more on the positive aspects of social media. Because after all it is just a tool, an outlet. You can go to a bookshop and be bombarded by bad writers and negative books, but it you go to the section that you enjoy, you WILL find what you want to read.
Youtube might seem like a young person's playground, but being you at heart I have embraced the visual medium of vlogging on Youtube and am going to do my best to use these cold wet winter days of August to spread some fun and joy around online. To warm up the coldness that people associate with Social Media using anything from my 50+ years of experience. So, have yourself a nice beverage (cold or hot), turn on your favourite device and head on down to my new Youtube channel for some daily entertainment. They won't be too long, on average 5 to 10 minutes, so that will give you plenty of time left over to click like and comment! Click here and go and subscribe.
