My very first blog

Okay, so, this is my first blog, don't really know what to type in yet, but I'll try. Honestly, my mind is a blank right now, maybe I should just write about my title, so all of you can relate to it.

Boring paragraph ahead-------------

I am someone into architecture, not that I study it or anything, I just like it. Don't get me wrong, I really want to study architecture in the future, and I will try my best to do so. Anyhows, my favorite style is brutalist, I'm not sure if you've heard of it before, but if you haven't, don't bother trying to look it up in the dictionary, its not really a real word in the first place, its just a term in architectural stuff. Brutalism comes from the French word, which means rough concrete, and as the name implies, the style is very "brutal" as it is hardly refined, with bold shapes in unpolished, coarsely surfaced concrete. Although Brutalist buildings, are mostly ugly (to me anyway) I find some of them quite appealing, and quite extraordinary in their engineering sense. I personally love Brutalist architecture, and I feel, with the use of the right shapes and textures, this form of architecture can become even more beautiful than any other style. Which is why I, would like to see it being redefined, and hence the title “redefining brutality”.

Why did I start a blog anyway? Well, the reason is actually quite lame, as everyone is doing it too. I don't really like writing, so here is my way of forcing myself to do so, and I guess my English will improve too? I know this isn't much of a blog, so skip it if you wish( yes, I said it too late), the real stuff will begin tomorrow. This will be one of my longer blogs, as I hate to write too much, partly because of my lazy-ness, ha. Oh yes, I may skip blogs now and then, when I choose not to turn on my computer.
