mind changing

today i posted a firs post to my news blog, first actual post news-related. nothing special, just picked it up on the net, a news about chechnya changing it's name. doesn't really concern me, but it's the kind of thing i never actually knew, but are sometimes essential to a conversation with someone. i'll explain.

since childhood, i have never been spending too much time in front of a tv. yes, i always liked watching movies and maybe certain shows... even things like csi (that's closer to present day, but never mind) and similar... however, news never caught my eye/ear. not only news... i'm not updated in music, arts, fashion... strange sometimes, just as if i was living in a wooden box. i get all the news about the world surrounding me from my friends, from talks i catch in the bars, uni, or wherever. net is also a great source of information for me.
but the fact is that i don't collect much of it. i'm just not interested in doing it. and that's ok. really, i don't look at it like something bad. only if i wasn't interested in those things sometimes. when i listen to people talking some things, i get interested, but then i also get the idea what have i been missing for quite a while... just for being lazy.
and there comes news blog of mine. by updating it, i'll be able to follow some things... and who knows, maybe i learn something valuable too.
