In 3's

333 · 12-04-2009, 04:33 PM

I've been putting this off for quite sometime now, I feel. I just wasn't quite sure I was ready to start my own journal. Though I've a lot to say about music, I never thought I had enough to dedicate an entire thread to what I listen to, so in my journal, I'll be reviewing not only my favorites, but suggested albums as well. Also, because I'm consistently watching films and reading, I'd like to somehow incorporate them into my reviews whether it be actually reviewing them or correlating them to the album I'm writing about. The latter will, of course, be more challenging, but I'm always up for a challenge. My original idea was to review "In 3's" - an album, a book and a film. All which will relate to one another, but I find that to be damn near impossible; however, I'll still leave it open as an option because let's face it, I would be so ****ing cool if I could do that. Reviews, random rantings on music, and more to come soon.

I'm pretty sure you can do it. I found many similarities in book, film and music, and I don't think any can exist without the other (or my life at least). Looking forward for that journal, maybe cause I don't really know much about your taste, yet.

Whatever you do - you should write it in 3s.
It is the name of your journal after all (the apostrophe is grammatically incorrect, though) and it is a really good way to keep yourself motivated to write here. In my journal I think of 3 things I want to write and post them. That way it's easier to stay focused and not let your journal die. 3 is just enough and not too many. It's also my favorite number so get to it.

That's a really great journal concept. I'm looking forward to it. Bonus points if you can tie the three mediums together.

Actually, I noted that as well. After some thought, I left it. Because the apostrophe is possessive, I feel it represents my taste, my reviews, etc. Call it a distasteful play on words, if you'd like. 3 is my favorite number as well.

Power of three is everywhere and I'll be writing about that, too. I see that I'm getting pressured to start on the journal already. Give me some leeway here, guys. I'm on vacation and would much rather have my music collection with me before I start dissecting anything. Thanks for the feedback.

Im really lookin forward to this one. Im convinced you have more than enough content to fill a journal, regardless of whether you feel you do or not.

Anyone on here that can review films and keep me interested is definitely worthy of a read. So far no one has done that for me.

I'm looking forward to your first entry alot, your brutally honest, and I can't wait to see you put that into a journal, I predict this will be awesome.

Good luck.
