A THIRD DECADE AND SIX MINUTES OF 2019

We are in the year 2020 and that means a third decade of keeping this blog has started.  It sounds like a lot, perhaps like more years than it actually is, but nevertheless that is the case. During these years the internet has changed, of course. Blogging has changed. And  I have changed - would be rather terrifying if I hadn't. My first very first blogpost was about my 26th birthday and I will be 40 next year.

 

The past years I have not had the same time to blog - as someone might have noticed (but not the 3746 spambots that happily keep on commenting about escorts and digital marketing) - but in moments blogging also felt too trivial, with all that has been going on in the world and society. I feel those who still hard core blog are so branded it's mainly just about sponsorship and product placement and I get it - blogging takes time and time is, after a certain amount of it at least, money. I am busy running businesses; both the studio and the showbiz and some kind of brand of my own.d At one point I got invited to things and events as a blogger or featured because of my style, what I was wearing and how I'd styled it and it always felt off, as I'd rather bring forward what I do as an artist or an entrepreneur. For years a very big portion of what I did was seen trough the eyes of, or reflected via the blog -  how to post about this event or action, keep the camera ready, post it before it  gets "cold". I do miss blogging from time to time but it is also a relief to not have this feeling of obligation hanging over everything all of the time.

So what about the "new" 20's? Do I still keep the blog up in it's third decade? Do I turn off the comment-turn-spam section? Do I perhaps update this ancient 2007-template? We'll see.

But before we dive into 2020, here is 2019 in six minutes, one second a day:
