The Unpopular Blog
It's odd. I don't receive many clicks onto my blog for obvious reasons:
1. I haven't told my friends and family
2. It's my own personal journal
3. I don't think I write about anything that really targets New York City life
4. I'm a weirdo
So, it surprises me when people do come upon my homely website. Looking through the stats, I think they mainly come to my site searching through Google for some of the New York City resturants that I mentioned. I guess I can become more of a food-centric blog and get more visitors but I don't think I want to spend my time writing about food ALL THE TIME. It's fun reading about food and I do peruse a number of food blogs (look at my links on the side! Amateur Gourmet! Chocolate and Zucchini!) but I would rather write about things that are affecting me day by day and food is not usually the major topic.
But I will write about food every now and then. For example, I finally got reservations to Per Se! I will be eating there this Sunday and will write about all the details. I am a little wary about rating expensive highly rated restaurants as I find that most of their food does not live up to the hype and I do not want to disappoint people who are looking forward to eating there. But I pride myself in being honest about stuff like that. If the food does not taste better than your standard fast food fare, I'm going to point that out.
Anyway, I have to say that this blog is such a great place to vent my frustrations about living here. But in reality, I'm not a hater. I work for a nonprofit and I truly believe I should be doing something with my life that would help the city I love get better. I visit my parents every week. And I love dogs and children. You see? I'm not such a bad person. But as I am Korean, my temper is as spicy as Korean food. I think Koreans are known as the "passionate Italians" of the East due to the amount of hot peppers in our food. When I get distressed, I express my disappointment strongly but I usually come to my senses very quickly and then I am a huge pushover. But I'm still a lot to put up with so I have to be grateful for all my friends and family that do put up with me.
I am also kind of shy around new folks so it takes awhile to get accustomed to new habits and surroundings. I think I am just getting acclimated into my blog. I hope to be more direct and entertaining in the future and HOPEFULLY my writing will become better. I think that is another reason why I blog is to practice writing. I read tremendously but I rarely write and I need to work out the kinks on my writing.
