Back to Life

A year ago, I think, I use to write about things that really mattered to me. Things like my life, but my real life, not just the little bits I mention these days. I am talking about how I feel, how I feel about situation and people. This is my blog anyways and I would really like to get back to writing for myself.

Lately I feel as though, on this site, I have been writing and making audio/video posts of things I think others want to see. Although I don’t think anyone really cares about my 3D Glasses.

What you can expect in the next while? Me, you will see what is going on inside my head, it doesn’t seem it, but I hold a lot back. A word of warning though: This may be boring and I don’t blame you if you leave. I will never name names but at the same time I am not going to hold back any more. I am a very negative person and it may come out, although I am trying to work on this part of me. I am going to be honest and say what is on my mind about things.

FINALLY: I want to make it CRYSTAL clear that what I say on this site, KyleWith.com, has nothing to do with how I write for YkOnline.ca. That is a completely different site and I take a completely different approach to it.

I hope you will join me on my journey and I hope by doing this I will be able to finally clear my head.

Tweeting What I Want

Not to name, names and they do have there own opinions but if you don’t like all the talk about the new Apple product just shot off Twitter for the day.

Here is my opinion on this kind of thing. I like to think it is a passion of mine to keep up with the tech news and especially Apple News. I like Apple’s stuff, I don’t know why but I do and I don’t want to try and defend it. I just do, and shouldn’t need too. Anyways when I see people complaining about how there are to many tweets about the Apple announcement I think they need to step back for a second. Obviously there is a reason for all the tweet and I know there are multiples of the same things but when it comes to Social Media and Tech this is a big thing. Hell Apple kept saying “The Internet in your hands”.

If people are tweeting about it, it is because they want to and are passionate about it. My advise to those who don’t like all the tweet is unfollow or turn twitter off for the period of the hype. In a couple day it will all go away and we’ll move on to the next big thing.

I’m just say’n!

Is it worth it?

Ugh. Having a conversation about reality stinks. I hate thinking about whether it is worth it or not, blogging and podcasting I am mean. I think about all the people who graduate high school and just jump in to lifeless jobs, just doing it to fund there nothingness. It bothers me because I’m actually trying something here. I work a job in the morning that I find rewarding, because I’m good at it and because people appreciate me. Then in the afternoon, I try and peruse my passion for Blogging about Yellowknife and Podcasting. I wholeheartedly believe that it will work in the North and I have some many ideas. This may be the down side, is that I have all the idea and can’t seem to manage my time properly to attempt them all. As you can see I have been slacking off on blogging on YkOnline this week, although I blame that on the fact the holiday season is over and I haven’t gotten back into a routine of doing it.

All of this makes me wonder if it is worth it. I know I haven’t put to much into it yet and I haven’t really done any hard work, but part of me says hold on, is it actually worth the time and effort. Will the result be worthwhile enough to get by.

So thinking about all these things got me to come down to 1 or rather 2 questions. I would love to know what your answers are to them!

  1. How would you make money from Blogging on a local blog?
  2. How would you make money from a Podcast?

Hearing others responses to these question my rekindle my passion and get me going away. Reality sucks.

“Never look back, keep moving forward”

What is it I do

Some may know, some may not. I will tell you a bit anyway. I do have my own business called With Media, William Thomas, which is the company behind YkOnline. It is classed as a media Internet company or something like that. When I applied for the business license it was difficult to describe to them then, what it would fall under, but anyways… I am about to apply for the SEED and BDIC funding from the GNWT. Which I may or may not get. In the application process one of the things I have to do, is describe what it is I do and whether or not it can generate enough revenue. This is kind of a funny coincidence because it seems to be a topic among some of us in the blogging realm. I will basically need to describe what blogging – YkOnline – is as well as Podcasting – I have plans to get into this more – and then some multimedia/website building stuff. Thanks to Megan I will use her blog post about explaining these things in plain english.

Either way this goes, it will be good to experience because for the first time since starting all these things, business, podcasting, blogging, I will actually have it down on paper what I do. Not only will it give others the knowledge of what I want to do, but it might give me the clarity and a new perspective of how I want to go about doing it.

Over the next couple day I will start writing all this up for the application and may share some of it here on this blog. To finish off I will leave you with this video, Podcasting in Plain English.
