So in this blog I want to promote my other blog. I personally find blogging fun. In fact you you haven't already known I have two blogs. I have one for blogging for homework and the other one is sort of a journal about my day. The blog I use to journal my day is quite useful. I use it vent out my day whether it is a bad day or a good day. At the end of each bog post I also rate my day from 1 - 10. I also put my favorite song of the day however, that was taken down because I was going to run out of good songs to put out. It is also updated daily.
However, recently I have stopped blogging due to all the homework and other stuff that happening, such as the robbery case. I think I need to be blogging more often. Journaling about your day is quite fun. I suggest that everyone should bog every day.
One thing I really like about my other blog is that I can write what ever I want. Whether I'm mad or happy. And since I write about my day every day is different. If you want to read my everyday blog the link is http://mrwatsgood.blogspot.com/. I'll give you a second to laugh at the link. Haha. Although I haven't been blogging much there are older blog post that you can read. I am actually trying to revive my old blog because after I stopped for a while I totally forgot about blogging. Anyways you should try reading and see if it is interesting. You can also critic my writing.

Stereotyping People
What I want to talk about in this blog is stereotypes. For me, stereotypes is a major thing for me because I'm Asian. However, stereotypes affect all races but I think Asians have the worst stereotypes. We are known to have small eyes, mostly "nerds", and we are suppose to get good grades. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I mean when I do get good grades ( which I mostly don't ), people think of me as a different "Asian". It makes school a lot tougher for Asians because we are expected to a be at a standard.
Another thing that really bothered me is what is exactly a stereotypically Asian? To all my viewers this is not a question only Asians can answer. What I mean what was the stereotypically back then in the 90s vs. right now? Stuff like listening to music can be very "Asian". Okay, so I was with my friends a few weeks ago and they asked me what I was listening to on my iPod. I answered Korean music. Guess what their response was? " That's so Asian." Then I thought just because I live in America now doesn't mean I have to listen to American music too. I listen to American music but I just prefer Korean. So have the stereotypes changed? I'm pretty sure that when Asians or any other ethnicity moved to America they didn't just start listening to their culture's music.
Everything now has gradually changed. The stereotypes of everything changed. Some Asians don't get good grades yet people automatically assume way to much. Another thing is the only reason why there are so much stereotypes is because one person in that ethnicity did something wrong or what ever and its affected on the whole ethnicity itself other than just one person. So people that doing stupid things like stealing ( just lost my iTouch ), stop stealing and making your ethnicity look bad because of one stupid thing you might have done.

A New Purpose
I have now decided a new purpose for my blogging. In the beginning of my blogging I posted a blog saying that I want to blog about the environment. However, as time passed I began to drift from the topic for what I wanted to write about. I want to change it so that it actually can be "For The World". I want to blog about things that may or may not care to you. Over the pass month I shifted from the environment topic to a more technological things such as computers and the latest technology. I also added some music that I like listening to.
What I want my blog to be about is more talk about more diverse things. I want to talk about past, current, and future events. When I started this blog I was only focused on one topic instead of using other some interesting topics.
I didn't really stick to my goal as much as I wanted to. Now I want to change my goals. Instead being stuck with one topic, I want to be a free writer. Writing what ever happens. Another goal I would like to accomplish is to stop using slang or any type of words that can be sorta over the internet. I have a habit of typing what with "wat". I would also like to slow down and edit more work more often because I feel that I don't take enough time editing my posts. Another critically thing is my grammer. I have lots of grammatical errors EVERYWHERE.
