Entry #1. Blogs Galore

Blogs come in abundance, there are several types of blogs written by several types of people. Now I like information as much as the next guy there are so many blogs out there that they never drew interest from me so I personally never cared for them. However, in my research, I have noticed a couple blogs that caught my interest. The first of these was from Billboard, what I liked about this blog is that it provides information on what's going on in music while also being objective. What I also liked is that format isn't distracting and it is short and to the point. The author in this entry for this blog wanted to bring attention to one of Drake's most popular songs from his new album and even provided a link to the song they were talking about. The author even had a side post nearby in case people wanted to read more. There is not much I don't like about the blog and believe this is how blogs should be conducted. 
The next blog I visited was TMZ. I wasn't too big a fan of this blog style, this is mainly because it felt like everything was thrown in your face. From the captions to images, to even ads. The only thing that didn't feel distracting was the other stories on the page. What I did like about this page was the diction and how it was written. This entry was different than the one from Billboard as the author for TMZ was a little less professional than the author from Billboard. The author's clear purpose was to get the story out as soon as it breaked but did include relevant images to the story which was Cardi B's pregnancy. One of the images shown was Offset and Cardi with the baby.
The final blog I visited was https://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/overrated-or-underrated-fortnite-mcdonalds-twitch-the-rock-robinhood-more/. I had actually heard of this man from Tiktok but this person's blog was as interesting as he was. I really liked how this website was organized; there was no distracting ads, everything was relevant to the entry, and he provided insightful information. The blog was organized very well and the format was inmpecible. It was written this way because the author wanted to make sure the focus was on the content and not on anything else. The author provided gifs that were funny and still went with the content. The author's purpose was to have fun with the audience and not waste their time.

    Hi, I agree with TMZ's unprofessional and insensitive writing. I can also say I heard of Gary V through Tiktok, and am interested in giving his blog a shot!

    Hey Geo, I agree with your list so much almost to a T. I did not realize Billboard was considered a blog, it is one I am on all the time to keep up with new music. I agree a lot about TMZ, its very unprofessional. Not my cup of tea.

    Afternoon Geo, TMZ could be very confusing at times. However, you find information everywhere which is a huge plus. Also I sort of enjoyed more TMZ rather than Billboard. This is because it got boring after reading so much. It all depends on what you are looking for.

Entry #6. LAKESHOW

Image
The Lakers are more formidable than they were last year when they won the 2020 NBA Championship. While it was a tough battle then and a well-deserved victory the workload fell down to 2 men, one of which is very much injury prone. Due to this, the Lakers were knocked off in the first round of the playoffs due to an injured Anthony Davis. While LeBron is an amazing player and certainly one of the best to ever grace the court he wasn't able to carry the team to another victory. Anthony Davis is an integral part of the team, he can shoot when he needs to and is an effective center playing excellent defense in the paint. A loss of someone literally that huge was too great. However, on July 30th of this year, Russel Westbrook joined the ranks and made a considerable difference. Russel Westbrook averages a triple-double and is capable of so much on the court. He can play defense and shoot and brings great team morale just like LeBron James. 2 people that are capable of that and an excell...

Entry #4. Turtles in a half shell

Image
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are icons in media. They have been around since 1984 and have been in many movies and tv shows and comics. While they haven't been as big as they used to be when I was a kid they are still pretty iconic and anyone can point them out just by seeing them. Their popularity soared again when Nickelodeon produced a movie about them in   2014 and they were exposed to a whole new generation. They are all named after Renaissance painters: Leonardo da Vinci (Blue) painted the Mona Lisa, Raphael (Red) painted School of Athens, Michelangelo (Orange) painted the Sistene Chapel, and Donatello (Purple) sculpted Saint Mark. They were named this way because the creators couldn't think of any ninja sounding Japanese names so they decided to the names of their favorite artists. The Ninja Turtles are still very popular and have even crossed over with the likes of Batman which is owned by a different publishing company. While their popularity has shifted over time ...

Entry #2. CLB VS Donda

Image
These two albums have been the biggest and most hyped albums this year. The biggest debate between the two is which one is better? What makes this debate so hard is two things: these albums are two very different projects and there is also the fact that music is subjective. One of the reasons this debate is so huge is because Kanye and Drake have had major differences and it evolved from just making music to seeing who could do it better. In my opinion, I enjoyed Certified Lover Boy a bit more than I enjoyed Donda. I find that there is more music you can vibe to and enjoy with others in CLB than there is in Donda. The songs on Donda feel more soulful and more enjoyable alone. Although that isn't to say there aren't any songs enjoyable, there are songs like Off the Grid and Ok Ok. Both of the albums also share incredible features but they also share a lot of the same artists. The build-up for these two albums has been immense other than the rivalry between Drake and Kanye. Drak...
