The Purge

I just finished my second week at OSU and it has been what I expected. I think Sinclair has prepared me to succeed on this level, and now it is up to me to decide whether I want to do just that – succeed.

With classes underway, my next goal is to check out OSU’s newspaper, The Lantern. I admit that I’m a bit nervous about applying for The Lantern, since it has been awhile since I’ve written a news story, but I feel like I have a decent enough resume to earn a spot on their roster.

Now let’s get to the good stuff.

This post has been titled the purge because it has been over a week since I last wrote something and I have a lot to say. With the help of Grippo’s potato chips and Minute Maid Lemonade, I plan on post three consecutive blog posts. Numero uno will be about the current NBA Free Agency frenzy that began over 24 hours ago. The second post will be about the new season The Real World, which has returned to New Orleans. Lastly, I will discuss rapper Drake’s debut CD, Thank Me Later.

Let’s GO!!!!

Where Do I Begin?

I started this blog about a year ago for a class I was taking. Being that I am an aspiring journalist – which is pretty obvious – maintaining a blog should’ve been a necessity for me. It would’ve kept my writing skills sharp and I would have full control over the content I posted. There was just one tiny problem.

I’m lazy.

Now you may ask, why am I (re)- launching the blog if I’m lazy? Well, if you must know, my former editor and co-worker, Joe Stueve, told me my writing skills were wack. Or something along those lines, sometimes I just hear what I want to hear. But I digress, Joe told me I should start blogging and I thought, Well that wouldn’t be such a bad idea if my life wasn’t so devastatingly boring. Whether that be the case, I know for me to continue to grow as a writer, I must continually develop my voice as one and the only way to do that is by writing.

So, this blog will be about my journey. To wherever this laptop leads me and whoever happens to read this blog will be along for the ride. I plan to touch on a range of topics, but the blog is for me to improve as a writer and keep track of that progress.

For all those who visit the site, be critical, yet encouraging. Any advice you have, I’m open to it. Because at the bare minimum, I want to be a better writer than Joe Stueve, which in my opinion wouldn’t be so bad.
