The First Post

Welcome!

It's my first post today, and I'd like to gladly tell you that the thoughtBlog is ready to see for the masses! :)

So, what IS this blog, even? I think a lot of you want to see an answer to this of some sorts.

Well, it's a blog about my outlook on the Universe. And, of course, my thoughts in general. It's like an idea/thought/theory journal, only updated irregularly and made wholly public.

So, here's my first thought, but first, a backstory:

See the logo above? Yes, that logo. I got the idea for the blog in school, and drew out the logo on the very same day and the very same lesson. (No idea which one it was, though).

I wanted to scan it.

Then something happened.

The scanner broke.

No matter how much times I reset it, it still failed. And today's desire of mine was to get the blog up and running.

Up until that moment, I was filled with anger and thinking inside the box as the result, which was VERY bad.

Then I stopped for a moment. Stopped my emotions. That was a triumph.

I started thinking outside the box. I thought like: "Hey, I could use my cellphone to get the logo in!"

To make the cellphone steady I used two old VHS tapes. Yes, i'm a retro geek.

Then I made the photo of the logo, connected it to the PC, cropped it, color-corrected it, bordered it and uploaded it.

So, today I learned something.

Now, the question being: Was this one of these lessons life gives you, or was it a challenge given by the Universe to me?

Feel free to comment about it in the comments below.

Yes, i'm pointing there:

Now THAT'S what you call thinking outside the box, lol.

Sorry for crushing you with that wall of text, and I hope I see you later on.

As always, constructive criticism please, and feel free to use the comments in any sensible way you might think of.
