Apology and Intent

If you refer back to my very first post, you will see the following statement:

"...as you may be able to guess, this blog is actually an assignment for a class I'm taking that relates to my major. However, that doesn't mean that the quality of my blog will be half-assed for the sake of finishing the class. I plan to be sincere with every post I make."

Unfortunately, that was a promise that I failed to keep, and I slacked off right away. My last post about Vaporwave was quite half-assed, if I do say so myself, and I must admit that I was scrambling at the last minute to get that post finished. For that, I must apologize. I suffer from ADHD, so if I procrastinate, all hell breaks loose.

Additionally, I can't help but feel that the purpose of my blog isn't clear to my viewers. I must admit that I'm not quite sure what my intent is either. First of all, I recently realized that I have been misusing the phrase "old soul". My mother has been calling my that since I was in middle school. Since middle school was the time that I truly began to embrace elements of culture from the past, I assumed that an "old soul" was someone that liked "old" things more than that of the present. After recently looking up the term, I realized that it actually refers to a young person that's wise beyond their years. While that characteristic is indeed accurate to my personality, it doesn't relate to my blog topic as well as I thought it did. This blog was initially supposed to be about my interest in pop culture from the past.

As a result, I have officially decided to change my blog description to "An Old Soul With Old Tastes". This blog is about my interest in pop culture from the past, my nostalgic tendencies, and my attempts to connect with modern society, all of which intertwine with my "old soul" personality.
