Let's just point to the fact that I have done a shitty job at maintaining this blog this year. Let's face it. Bring on your criticisms. Bring on your hate. Rain down those hate on me!
......Like anyone's gonna.
I'm going to confess to whoever reading this. I love statistics. I love data. I like comparing them. This is what probably 12 years of school made me do. The only thing they successfully made me do. So, to justify how I fucked up at my sole and only job: keeping this blog alive, I'm going to compare and contrast with the previous years. Bear with me. I know, this is probably the worst post on this blog since the 2012 London Olympics withdrawal post. I mean, who has a hard time withdrawing from the Olympics? Not even the Greeks do. To my defense, it was not a withdrawal post, it's just a normal, self-absorbing post with too many Olympics reference in it. I have a picture of Kate Middleton to prove it on that post.
So let's do the comparing and contrasting thing.
So far, this year I have posted 21 posts, including this it makes 22 until the end of July. 22 posts means an average of 3.14 (a phi!) posts each month. I posted 25 posts in 2014 (avg: 3.6 posts per month), 24 posts in 2013 (avg: 3.4 per month) and 21 posts in 2012 (3 per month). So all that growth in two years have amounted to nothing! I'm a lazy bastard.
To my own defense, I have three drafts to date. With the one most prospectful is the one about my all-time favorite/guilty pleasure TV series Heroes, particularly the third season. I have a great title to go with the posts and I was writing it because Chapter III in Season 3 was way better than I remembered and also I was going to write the post based on Chapter III and IV, but then I couldn't get my hands on most of the episodes on Chapter IV so that post became abandoned.
Also, let's see how many movies that I managed to review up until July. From American Sniper until the most recent Terminator Genisys, I have reviewed 19 films until July 2015. In 2014, I also reviewed 19 films until July, starting with a very late Ender's Game review to the equally late Godzilla review. In 2013, I reviewed 17 films. In 2012, I reviewed 15 films. So movie-review wise, I'm actually doing good. Yeah niceee.
But how's my audience doing? 2015 has been pretty dull in terms of click. I, myself, is anti-clickbait, so you won't see my writing 'This Guys Did This To A Girl, The Girl's Reaction Is Priceless' bla bla bullshit. I stay true to my title and ideals. I'm not selling out. But that probably got to do with my viewers going down. But views aren't fair, because obviously the posts in the previous years have had more views. But this ain't a dissertation and no one's judging. Up until this post, the most viewed post in the blog is not even movie-related (the irony!). It's about me going to Taylor Swift's concert in Tokyo, it got 72 views to date. Not even 100. The second is my year-opener post, titled Benvenuto 2015! with 38 views. Pretty sad. In 2014, I have six posts passing 100 clicks up until July. First one is Divergent review with 334 views and second is Sherlock Series 3 review with 275. In 2013, I have three posts passing 100, with one indisputable champion, my review of Oblivion which surprisingly had 1044 views to date and still is the biggest one on this blog.
Bottomline, this is a bad year for this blog with me being a lazy-ass than ever before and also the crappy posts don't even get any audience. Well it's just the middle of the year, who knows it will get better. This is not a big deal anyway. My blog suffers clinical depression and has been getting the prospect of abandonment since time immemorial. I just don't have that many stuff to do, so I keep getting back to this blog.
On a groundbreaking note, this post marks the first time ever since the very first post in 2009, that it has no image whatsoever. This year also mark a first non-English post, which was written in my native language Indonesian. Another mark is that this year is the first one that I wrote about a concert instead of a movie, which is the aforementioned Taytay concert. Pretty daring and bold 2015 so far.
Next up is still Jurassic World--next week!
