What Passion Shall We Fashion?

When asked, "What are your passions?," many might immediately jump at the opportunity, spewing all of their passions to a room full of people as if the words were sizzling on their back burner for too long. Passion: a piece of yourself, a piece of your life, a piece of what makes you really you. Think about the few things that seem to be the center of attention in your life, the few things that many of your memories incorporate, the few things that make you smile every time you drift yourself back to that moment in time. Your passion should make you bubble over with excitement and make you want to talk all about whatever your passion is until the people around you listening are so overwhelmed with the topic that they immediately follow your lead or walk away, knowing that you could praise this passion for many more hours.

The reason for this elaboration on passion is not to be a dictionary or an essay that persuades you into doing or liking any one particular hobby. Alright, maybe this blog is a little bit of both of those statements. The reason I am being so knit-picky about the understanding and deeper value of passion is because I want to know your opinion. Many blogs are frequently about what the author wants to describe, write about, spout. This blog is to see what you would rather read about, what you want to know. 

I have already fashioned two of my passions for my next blog. What I would like to know, is which fashionable passion will make the runway, and you are going to call the shot. 

The first option is one that you are all too familiar with: music. Walking on a college campus, it is rare that I do not see at least a dozen people with their head phones on or earbuds in, drowning out the sound of the outside world. Every now and then, I will see some of these music fanatics bob their heads like they are the face of an 80's rock band - the only thing missing is the ever-so-popular mullet and a "rock on" hand signal bobbing in sync with the flow of that crazy hairdo. 

The Limitless Jukebox, a blog about music, would basically involve a general description of a multitude of types of music with specific examples from each genre. Some suggestions of when might be the best moments to listen to each specific genre will also be provided depending on what life throws at you. For example, some possible music genres might be best suited for study hours, meant to keep you focused and driven. Other music genres might be acceptable for when you are in a toe-tapping, feel good kind of mood. This list is really endless. 

A blog based on music would naturally give you some new ideas to add to your playlists, along with some possibly relevant events that might be comping up related to the given genre for each posting. Who knows. You might find that your favorite song is sitting in a jukebox, waiting for you to flip to the next list of songs.

The second choice is for all of the travelers who want to see the world but with a small price tag. This blog, Don't Forget the Polaroid, would be a travel blog, complete with the most affordable ways to experience the world around you while still seeing the sights beautiful enough for you to snap the perfect photo. 

The first initial post will include some general "How to..." information sessions, touching base on traveling necessities like how much clothing is too much clothing when packing, how not to lose your bags in an airport, and other general tips for traveling. 

Once the basics are covered, the fun can begin! Additional posts will include some ideas of where to travel, what are some of the best sights to see, best foods to eat,  tips about culture, and of course, how to pay for everything with a lower budget. This blog will surely open your eyes to the big, wide world waiting for you! The only think you need to remember: don't forget the polaroid!
