Entry #1. Blogging is Not for Me

This whole "Blogging" thing is brand new to me. I guess maybe I'm simply behind the times. I hope maybe at some point, that through these required assignments, I'll open up a whole new exciting medium for myself  that I will enjoy. So far though for me, it's a two thumbs down, but hay you never know till you try. RIGHT! I was browsing through some the suggested sites for this assignment and found one that had me laughing to the point of tears. I clicked on "The Top Fifty Blogger Blogs" then clicked on "Post Secret". It was filled with many drawings, sketches and sayings that were down rite sadistically funny. One that caught my eye because this is a college assignment, wasn't really evil, but kind of cute.The phrase is: I am a 23 year old college grad and I would rather join Organized Crime than spend the next 40 years in some cubicle. It's accompanied by sketches of some mean looking guys whose last names all end in vowels. There was a lot of funny stuff in there that I really enjoyed. Maybe there's hope for me yet. I've got one thumb up now. Not so fast. From there I went to see what TMZ had to offer. I didn't find anything there to interest me. I'm not interested in Brittany Spears' broken ankle. I don't care that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West went to a fashion awards show in New York. I REALLY don"t care why Caitlyn Jenner chose to spell his/her new name with a "C" as opposed to a "K". PLEASE!!!! Right now it looks like I have one thumb up and one thumb still down on this whole blogging thing. I'm going to leave you for few minutes to go read some other blogs to try and find a tie breaker. Be right back........ Sorry about that, but I do have a bit of good news. I clicked on the Huffington Post blog button and found some very interesting reading there. I never new that 1 in 35 Americans were either incarcerated, on probation or on parole. I especially got a kick out of an article about Jeb Bush. It seems he's trying to raise the age for Social Security retirement. Problem is, he doesn't know what the retirement age is at this time. It looks like I have one thumb up now and one thumb sideways on this blogging thing. Considering I started with two thumbs down, maybe there's hope for me yet. Who knows, maybe in no time, every morning I'll be sharing with the whole Universe how I slept and how the Grape Nuts tasted. You never know till you try. RIGHT!

  1. Well so I hope that blogging does open up a new medium for sir. I haven't visited the blogs that you have, but it sounds pretty interesting though. Myself I like it but I also wish that I wasn't so damn tired from work and have to be up this late trying my best to get this assignment done. So hey if you see me nodding my head in class from sleep depravity you know why. Stay well sir and keep the blogs comming.

  2. Mark--Your blog is coming along pretty well. You have some interesting content and ideas, and pretty good development too. Keep digging into your discussions. Your personality is coming through (that title!). Don't forget about visual appeal.
