The odd duality of these things...

Let's talk about why I hate these blogs, and love them.

I'll start on the lighter note to appease Mr. Flaherty, I love these blogs because I can put down what I think for free. By right I should be paying for this, just as I would pay for paper or a pencil, but someone decided that the advertisers money is plenty; just as the advertisers decided that people who saw their add on a website would instantly want a free iPod so long as you sign up for five other sites! Anyway, that and the fact that it allows me a little closer look into the true nature of my classmates.

I get to see which ones think, and that's a lot to know. I know some of you just write our discussions down, you can't think of anything, well Hell, neither can I. That's pretty much it, I get to put my ideas down, and see which of us are cowards.

Now as to why I hate them, simply the time restraints. Sometimes I can't write about something one week because nothing interesting happens. When that happens I have to think, sit down and really take a look into my head. Yes class, even I hate it when I'm forced to think, I would much rather just take all of our collective words and write them down as mine. But I can't do that, it wouldn't be fair to myself.

"Wouldn't be fair to myself." Ha! I'm the worst offender of being unfair to myself, but that's another conversation for another time.

I love fighting, not with words, but taking the english departments swords and fighting with anyone is so much fun. There's no logic to it, it solves nothing, it increases violent tendencies, and you can get a little hurt, but it's so damn fun. I'm not fighting for an ideal, not fighting for someone or myself, but every once in awhile I just want to have a fight, who wants to fight?

Seriously, who wants to fight?






A fight ever now and then does make life more interesting, don't you think?

Word to the wise: NEVER, under ANY circumstances, challenge Danny to a fake sword fight. Bad things happen to good people.
