Blog topic generator

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything on here but I was just over all busy for the past two weeks.

Anyway, I wanted to introduce you to a tool I found online. It’s called the blog topic generator and can be found clicking this link: http://www.hubspot.com/blog-topic-generator?__hstc=20629287.4db5c6802fb1188727691e500d7cc164.1397767352753.1397767352753.1397767352753.1&__hssc=20629287.1.1397767352753&__hsfp=1319059963

Since I had no idea what to blog about this week I simply searched google for some interesting topics to write about and somewhere among all the results I came across this more or less useful gadget. Now that I called it more or less useful you probably wonder how helpful it is and even more important how this blog topic generator works. Well, I’ll explain it to you (even with some pictures :) )

First, the page looks like this:

Basically you just need to type in three terms which should preferably be nouns and then click the give me blog topics button. Quite easy, right?

To show you how the results can possibly look like, I’ll give you my initial search as an example:

 I typed in the expressions Supernatural (my favorite TV show), show (since I love other shows as well) and music (obviously those three expressions are the first three things that came to my mind when thinking about what I am interested in).

Now let’s have a look at the results:

Well, to be honest I have no idea what I should do with number 1 and number 2 doesn’t really speak to me either. Number 3, however, sounds quite interesting and promising and so does number 5. So maybe I’ll write about it one day, who knows. BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL IS NUMBER 4??? I can’t even think about anyway this combination could possibly ever be justified and what they could have in common.

So I guess if you really have no clue what to blog about this website can be quite handy (even if you only use it to rant about the weird topics they give you like I just did) but you shouldn’t take all of the suggestions too serious.

The fault in our stars...

Hey guys, guess what day it is today… Right it’s blog Thursday.

But before I start I want to make a quick announcement: Since I’m going to be quite busy next week with exams and the usual stuff and probably also throughout the rest of the semester, I decided to blog only every other week. So in general I’m going to write fewer posts but hopefully more thoughtful ones.

This time I want to tell you a little bit about my favorite book at the moment. It’s called The fault in our stars and is written by the ingenious John Green, who is not only a writer from Indiana but also has a youtube channel.

Here is a pic of him and the link to his channel:

Anyway, The fault in our stars is about Hazel, a 16 year old girl who has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Her parents force her to go to a support group in the “Heart of Jesus”, a cross-shaped basement of a church. There she meets Augustus, a former cancer patient who is due to a type of cancer called osteosarcoma an amputee now. They fall in love with each other and experience quite a few adventures. However, I don’t want to tell too much of the storyline in case any of you hasn’t read the book yet and still wants to enjoy reading it without any spoilers.

To get an idea of the style the book is written in, here’s a quote:

 

There is also a movie adaptation for this book coming out in summer 2014 if you prefer watching films over reading books. No matter on which you decide, I recommend both and I myself am going to watch the movie as soon as it’s available.
