The Endless Search

Where do I begin about the ultimate search for that pure adrenaline rush. Some say that its crazy or stupid, but i find them to be just boring and jealous.

It really all started when four years ago. Surfing, it was not a huge rush but enough to give me that excited and need for more feeling.

So how did i go bigger... Skydiving. Me and my crazy friends jumped out of a perfectly good plane for my 18th birthday. If you saw my first blog post you should have seen the photo of me soaring through the air. That was the greatest rush I have ever had and I am supposed to re-jump again in a few months. Hopefully one day I will receive my solo jump certification. http://www.skydiveaz.com/

However, I am afraid that my search can not end there. I still have that burn to find another sport or adventure that can give me the greatest feeling on earth.

 One day I want try bungee jumping or base jumping. Perhaps the greatest video I have ever seen was Felix Baumgartner free falling from space!! My dream is to be apart of that intense Red Bull Team. If you have never seen this video WATCH IT!!!!!

If you have any other ideas, PLEASE TELL ME!! I am always up for suggestions.

#1 My Opinion

After reading multiple blogs, I found very few blogs that I would follow on a regular basis and multiple that I could do without. I have discovered through the hardships of finding a blog I enjoyed reading though, was the way that different bloggers used voice to attract their desired audience.

I will begin with my favorite one out the the multiple I sorted through. The Whole Foods blog (http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/blog/whole-story/) drew me in with the vibrant tone and style. I enjoyed this blog the most because I believe that it shows a good example of the mix between corporate and some what personal with the variety of photos they post. However, they still kept it professional because they posted the photos with dialog about the actual product they sell. Plus, it helps attract me because the food looks quite delicious! i.e these pancakes

The second blog to discuss was the LinkedIn blog (http://blog.linkedin.com/page/2/). I found some pros and cons in my opinion about these posts. I really enjoyed how there is always a different person who constantly posts along with the steady change of topic which can appeal to anybody. http://blog.linkedin.com/2013/01/29/the-50-places-where-big-ideas-are-born/ was the post that I found to be very interesting because you never hear the stories about how ideas come from, but when you do it always finds a way to come at a time when the inventor wasn't even seeking it.

 The last blog I will discuss is Deadspin (http://deadspin.com/). Now I enjoy watching, listening, and playing sports more than anybody but when it comes to blogging I really was not drawn into it. I am very drawn in by images and design first, as I believe many others are, and this one just didn't do it for me. Their audience to me was some what defined but I believe they are trying to expand it as they are growing which obviously works hand in hand.

Now I am not an expert but I would like to think that I am starting to get the hang of this and understanding what the point different posts are trying to get across. 

Signing off for now!
