The Almighty Blog

Deep down I would love to say I hated blogging. But all the alternatives would have been a lot worse so I guess I didn't mind it that much. I'm not really fond of doing blogs and this was my first time. But I found that I was more likely to complete these because I wasn't just writing about a boring topic with a length requirement to turn in the next class time. That's another thing, the topics made it more enjoyable. On most of them I felt like they were very open and we could at least find something somewhat interesting to write about.

Before we even began blogging I had a pretty negative opinion towards it. But after the first few I realized it wasn't that bad. I do think my first blog posts were better than my later ones just because I am starting to loose effort towards the end of the year and I didn't really get into them. But i would say that this definitely helped me to get out of the habit of typing like texting lingo, if you will. I think i enjoyed the enneagram blog the most just because I found it interesting how they can classify all of the unique personalities into like seven different categories. but that's just off the top of my head, there were a few others I didn't mind.

I wouldn't really say I learned much about web writing except for maybe that I now know how to create and manage a blog. highly doubtful, but who knows maybe ill get into blogging in the future. I don't really have anything to reflect about anyone elses' blog. the only time I ever really read any ones was to find out what i should include in mine. I don't think it really made much of a difference to me writing for an audience as opposed to turning it in. It just made it easier to get help on ideas if you had trouble getting started. Like I said earlier I don't think I will be getting into blogging but I guess you never know.

Summer

The week after school get out I am going to Seattle for vacation and partying with friends. The next week I am coming back to missoula and hanging out for a week until my lease in my new house starts. Therefore, I can just move my stuff in for next semester. I may stay for a couple more days, but shortly thereafter I will be flying back to Chicago. I am excited to go home for the summer. I plan to work alot and save money for next year along with, of course, partying with all the old friends. After summer, I will come back here for another crazy semester at the university. I am really looking forward to this summer as well as next year.

T.V.

Seinfeld is by far one of my television shows. I don't really watch a lot of t.v. but when I do it is always the best when this show is on. This show premiered in the 90's on NBC and ran for nine seasons. It is about the crazy and comical lives of these four single friends who live in New York. The main character Jerry, obviously played by Jerry Seinfeld, is a stand up comedian and is always having to deal with off the wall issues. Whether it be with friends, family, or just another one of the just-not-right girlfriends. His childhood best friend, George Costanza (Jason Alexander) could be deemed the quintessential loser; he can never hold a job or keep a romance, although he has more than enough schemes to make either happen. Jerry's ex, Elaine Benes (Julia Loius-Dreyfus) offers the quirky quartet her own barrage of bad dates and worrisome workplace sagas. Then finally, my favorite character in the show, Kozmo Kramer (Michael Richards) rounds up the group as Jerry's over-the-top imaginative and sometimes mysterious neighbor; who has no visible means of support and an uncanny knack for opening doors to opportunities he has no business being near. Over the time of being aired Seinfeld won many awards as well as being very popular to this day. Seinfeld is my favorite t.v. show, can't get enough of it.
