Getting Back To Writing

A few weeks ago I picked up a fancy looking journal from Walmart thinking "Why not?".  Now I usually don't buy things out of the stationery aisle because I end up never using them, but this one really caught my eye.  On the front is a picture of Big Ben with a double decker bus rolling in front of it, and it looks awesome!  

In this book/journal, I've started writing some weird memoir/life story.  As of now I'm planning to stay exactly on detail, and I'm hoping that somewhere in the course of time I don't change that.  The plan is that once I've caught up to the present day, I'll just write in the moments that are worthy of the journal.  When I've run out of room in one I'll go buy another and continue the story.  Then once I'm old and graying the memories will be written down and shareable with the family I hope to have.  

I also hope to give the story some type of central plotline as time goes on, but for now I'm just filling in my personal testimony as the exposition of the book.  To me it just seems like the best place to start this thing off. 

This book is different in that I don't plan on sharing it with very many people.  Yes I know that now most of you will be dying to see it, but the answer will be a polite form of "no". 

I'm so excited to be getting back to writing in an actual book.  I've had so many uncompleted projects over the past few years, and I've made the poor decision to toss out some of my very first stories from second grade as well as some poor recreations of the Garfield comic strip (I can't draw animals with four legs).  This project will hopefully get completed at some point, and it's nice to have something to go with my blog again. 

I plan to tell the story of my writing adventures in a future blog post.

Here's what you do in your college public speaking class.  These videos are me when I gave the speeches.  We were asked to pick a community issue, from which I chose the EBT Program and how it needs reform, and then I later collaborated with Andrew Olfelt to give a speech on education reform here in America.  I hope you enjoy the speeches :) Speech of Introduction - Given 9/9/2016 Informative Speech - Given 10/7/2016 Team Persuasive Speech - Given 11/18/2016

A Post About Snow

Image
Snow is something many of us seem to be bi-polar about, myself included.  We love it when the first snowfall of the year graces it's way through our area, but by March we're sick of it and ready for Spring.  It coats the roads, causes car accidents, and sends people to supermarkets in droves, because everyone's worried that this will be the last time they ever make it out of their house for the next few days, which never really seems to be the case thankfully. Regardless of that though, lots of us love a good snow.  Think of the things we have to be thankful for when the snow flies.  We are now able to go (if there's enough snow), sledding, skiing, have snowball fights, and build snowmen. There are tons of things to do when that first winter storm hits, and we should enjoy it while we can.  I've been regretting not being able to take part in Winter activities these past few years due to my numerous prior commitments, but maybe this will be the year

TikTok: Why.... Just Why?

Image
It's a day off and I'm sitting at home scrolling through the Snapchat stories of my friends and co-workers.  I'm just leaving one person's story and moving onto the next, but first I have to watch an advertisement, because Snapchat needs to make money somehow doesn't it? I look at the screen, and for some reason a teenaged dude is just chilling there in a white suit and clown makeup lip syncing to some song I've never heard of before.  The screen is split though, so you know someone else must be coming to join him, right?  Well low and behold not even five seconds later another teenager in a black suit with his hair groomed to resemble a sheep and blue/black skin steps in and starts lip syncing to another part of the song where a different person seems to sing.  The ad cuts out not long after that, and I'm back with my Snapchat stories. If you haven't guessed already, the ad is for smartphone app TikTok , which allows it's users to video rec
