As you may already know I’m new to blogs and not just at writing one. I’ve come accross blogs many times in the past but only recently I’m reading them regularly. So I found out a very good search engine just for blogs: Technorati. And it is interesting also because you get to know things you didnt: for example there is a list of top searches and there I found out about “Du bist Deushland” a campaign by the German government aiming at improving the self esteem of German nationals.

A few minutes ago my chair started shaking and moments later everything else for a few seconds. Earthquake. It’s not the first time I experience it, the first one I can remember was when I was 5 or less at elementary school and happened when I was at the school itself. I now learned this one was originating at sea very close to Greece so it must have been pretty strong for me to feel it here…

One of my presents for christmas was this nice and cool iPod… christmas present before christmas? Well yes we went shopping the other day and I couldnt resist it so its skipping the tree and put to use in no time. Will surely aid in spending time during the family get-together that as important as it may be it will no doubt have its boring and idle moments that I’m planning to spend in listening to good music or some of those audiobooks I got.
Oh I forgot to say that its one those new video Ipods, and I got it black so its functional and really stylish.

And so it is Christmas again… well it will be in a few days. I don’t really feel it special anymore don’t know why, but if it has something special its the family get-together and since we as a family are a little scattered on the region it really is a different thing. In the past what I liked about this time of year was the shopping for gifts and such, expecially when I was living by myself in another town so I felt like bringing ppl something different or special. Now that I am living again home with my parents the presents are more “family presents”. But I managed to get something of my own choosing for my little god-son: being a techbuff I got him a nice toy-laptop to play and learn something if he likes. Hope it was a good choise.

So it seems I’m getting the hang of it… blogging. So much having your life exposed but I think that’s what it is for… plus I can write private posts so I can even have a private journal if I like… this is better than having a pen and paper journal in that it is harder for someone to sneak in… and I know a lot about this.
Well so I submitted this blog to a blog directory so hopefully someone will get to see it cause I think it doesn’t have much exposure yet… but not enough to see anyway so that’s it.

Ok so this is my first post on my first blog. Not sure how will it develop or if I will have any audience… I think to have any audience I should start putting up some interesting stuff besides letting this precence on the web known. Whatever the outcome have a good read!
