The introvert cat loves watching Xena - Battle of the Keywords

Yeah, who wouldn't want to pay attention to Xena?

Keywords play a very important role when it comes to being popular online: Whether you are a company that sells a certain product or service, whether you are an author who would like to sell his ebook on his website, or whether you are a blogger who simply would like to find some readers to interact with, you will sooner or later have to deal with keywords.

What does that have to do with an introvert cat that watches Xena? Not much, apart from the fact that people always tell me cats rule the internet, so I thought I might take advantage of that and combine a cat with two of the most popular keywords for my blog (introverts, Xena). I might have used the Hobbit, too, but as I was actually watching Xena with the cats, I thought this was more fitting. Keywords aside, let's talk about cats.

Is there really something like an introvert cat?

Believe it or not, cats can actually be introverts, too. I have spent time with two Siamese cats in the last few weeks (I'm cat-sitting, or as the cats would say, I'm their temporary servant), and the two could easily be defined as introvert cat and extrovert cat. While one of them always comes to me, wanting attention, and letting me know what he wants by any means possible, the other cat is more of an introvert. She does like attention every now and then, but she will not often come to me to get it. If I make the first step though, she often enjoys the attention well enough - but sometimes also lets me know that she'd rather be left alone. I know, there's more to being an introvert like that, but she's definitely less of an extrovert than her brother.

Would you like to be cat?

I've heard people say that they would like to be a cat, because cats don't have to work for their accommodation and food. They sleep around 20 hours each day. It seems like a great life. And if you happen to live in a nice house with a great garden and not that many cars around, then you would be happy indeed. An additional bonus would be a very loving owner.
But I am not sure whether I would like to swap my life for the life of a cat. Maybe temporarily, in certain moments, when being a cat would be an advantage around other people, but not for good! What about you? Would you give up your current life to become a cat FOREVER?

Kenny Wizz vs Navi vs Ben - Can there be only one #1 Michael Jackson tribute artist?

Last night, I have been to a place called Stevenage to watch a Michael Jackson tribute artist called Ben . He was one of only two UK tribute artists I found interesting and promising enough to spend money on a ticket, transport, and accommodation (it's too difficult to travel back home with public transport at night). Now that I have seen three different Michael Jackson tribute artists in person, I would like to write about what they have in common, what made each of them stand out, and then answer the question: Is there really a number one? Did one of the two UK tributes manage to do something Kenny did not do? If you have read my old writings about Kenny, you know that he's very special (at least to me). I will have a look at their looks, their energy during the performance, the song selection, the costumes, the singing (or lack of it), the moves, the band & the dancers, the overall feel of the concert, and the meet & greet after the shows. In

Seeking and finding motivation - It needs to come from within

I have known for a long time that motivation is something that needs to come from within yourself. At least genuine motivation needs to come from within your own soul - it is the only kind of motivation that will last. Even though I have known this, I found (and still find) it very hard to keep myself motivated, to keep the spark within alive, to not let the world and the people in it kill my dreams. As a writer, I also read a lot. Most books are dedicated to other people, or have some sort of acknowledgment page where authors thank people who support them, people who keep them going, people who motivate them, and so on. For a very long time, I have wished I would have people I could use for these pages. I was wondering whom I would dedicate my books to, whom I would thank. But I could only ever think of fictional and/or famous characters. In real life, there is nobody who supports me with my writing and shows a genuine interest in my ideas or progress (of which there isn't that

Why work harder when there's no reward at all?

I am rather demotivated at the moment. Why work harder than other people if other people in the end get more for less work? Two volunteers who work a lot less than I do (also as a volunteer) get taken to see a castle this weekend, while I have to work. One of those two is being taken to the second castle. He's been taken on a day trip before. While I have been here since November and haven't been taken anywhere once. Usually, volunteers work five hours a day. But because I am really committed to the animals, I usually work six hours, often seven or eight (as a volunteer, so it's not like I get any money for extra hours). So I work more, but get less in return. How is that fair? It's just my life. I often put in so much effort into things, but get nothing in return. I feel like giving up. Why be reliable and hard working if it's just taken for granted? Why put in more effort when people who slack get all the rewards and extra attention?

We used to have a cat when I was younger and I'm pretty sure it was bipolar. Sometimes it loved to be stroked, and other times it wouldn't let me pass on the stairs (I was very young and scared of the infamous black cat we called Lucky). Maybe introverts and extroverts are not inventions of society, but are instead a part of animal nature.
