Now that I’m in college, things have been changing. Mostly old habits, but one thing that will change is my sites. And by that, of course, I mean FlashStuf. It’s always been geared at my own age bracket, and a quick demographics report courtesy of quantcast.com confirmed that the teen crowd is really who my site attracts. Well, I think it’s about time for a change so I’m starting to, continuing over the next few months/years, move up an age bracket into the “young adult” audience for FlashStuf and out of the teen audience. How I’m going to do that isn’t quite obvious after only two days on my own, but that is the direction I’m headed in.
If you are a FlashStuf visitor or have some ideas that could really take us in this direction, just drop a comment.

It seems nowadays that people don’t always know how to follow the rules. Or rather, that there’s a lack of respect for them. You could argue they were born not knowing those rules and they “don’t know better;” or that they just never learned of or that there are consequences to certain actions. Or maybe they know of those consequences, but just decide that they’re insignificant or they’ll get to slide.
Whatever the case may be, it’s a shame people see things this way in everyday life. I was listening to a country song yesterday; in it, one of the many lyrics “we don’t lock our doors, when we leave the house” to which I responded “you don’t live on the east coast”– half-way just being funny but the other half being serious. Because although I’ve never had someone break into my house or steal something out of it (that was a lie, a worker who was building the extension on our house stole my mom’s class ring that was sitting out), it happens everyday. Now, everyday in the sense that it is commonplace, as commonplace as say, teenagers getting into accidents. And at least to me, it just seems like there’s an “I can get away with it” mentality among the masses.
Now by running an entertainment website, you basically open up a public playground. People can bring their children and sit and enjoy, socialize, see the scenery. Those children can also play among the equipment and enjoy hopping around and such. But it’s not only the parents and small children that visit the playground, kids of all ages can. And being a playground, there is no supervisor to make sure you abide by the 4 feet or smaller rule. Anyone and everyone has free reign (until the cops get called, but that’s later). Oh, and those cameras sitting idly by on the wall? Oh pay no attention.

So I’m trying this thing out now. Figured what better to do with my life than share it with complete strangers?
