Second Quarter Qomments

Comment to Richard Ketter:
So Richard, it is terribly convenient that we are reading the same book once again this quarter, Langston Hughes is a pretty nifty guy, he writes poems that put smiles on my face. Most of them at least, cause i haven't read any sad ones quite yet. As far as the presentation of your blog, I believe that you should change your current background to keep up with the new and exciting trends of the second quarter, the woodchuck is out, the prairie dog is in! So I'd gather a nifty picture of your liking of a fashionable prairie dog if you want to draw in all of the chillun's this quarter.

Comment to Cody Zamora:
Alright Cody, so i dun did see that ship breaker business, it reminded me a lot of my favorite movie of all time, Waterworld, starring the illustrious Kevin Costner as the mariner. The book sounds kinda interesting, only for that. Other than that, i suppose the presentation of your blog is rather satisfactory you have a nice background here that is particularly reminiscent of the matrix, not only is the matrix also a good movie, but i am currently studying matrices in math class. Now the real question for you, now, as a blogger, is: what would have happened if Neo would have taken BOTH pills? Keep that in mind as you read your book, it'll make it ten times more exciting and interesting.


Comment to Jack Bryant:
Hey Jack, It's Michael. I decided to come on over to your blog, and post a comment. I looked back over what you did last quarter, and i kinda enjoyed it. Around the world in 80 days in on my list for next quarter. And with your insight, I think it will be a most enojoyable read. Onto this quarter, I definitely agree with you stand on the argument of shorthand typing on the blogosphere, I think we should for sure stick to keeping the blogs both conversational and enjoyable, but also at the same time businesslike and professional. The surprise element of blogging is really here this quarter, that I can agree on. I will tell you to for sure ask your teacher about a unique creative blog assignment you can do aside from all of the ones that are considered the norm, so to speak. Doing a creative and more unique assignment could really help add more to the whole blogging experience and make it more enjoyable overall. Try not to fall behind this quarter either, blogging keeps us on our toes, and being on your toes sharpens your talons, cause we all wanna be eagles man. Enjoy your new book!

GUESS WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN, GUESS WHO'S BACK, TELL SOME FRIENDS. (No Seriously, tell your friends, blogging round 2 could use some more followers.)

   Ok, so last quarter's blog was officially wrapped up last week, and this is the first entry for a brand new quarter! Hooray! Our fancy prompt here says that we are to reflect on our blog of quarter's past. Well, last quarter's blog for me was alright. I attempted to keep everything interesting to the outside readers, but the real glory of my blog was that almost every single joke in there would only be understood by me, or someone who knows me rather well. Hopefully a good majority of that business can be avoided with this new series of blogging, and the average reader will be able to slap his/her knees once in a while whilst reading this nice blog. Last quarter i had some problems, just with keeping up with the assignments. There would be one blog assignment that would just completely rid me of the blogging spirit so t speak, and hopefully there are none of those this quarter. Cause me gusta blogging.

    Paragraph two is designated via prompt to contain information on my attitude, changing and whatnot, towards blogging. I can comfortably say that I need blogging like a fish needs to be hooked in the gills and ripped out of the water, then cut up and eaten by a bunch of fish-craving rednecks.Which needless to say, is not at all. But that doesn't mean that it is something that i don't enjoy! Simply by hearing about the alternate assignment has created a fiery love for blogging within my soul. I would much  rather just write some nice conversational text on a 76% anonymous blog than have to write a whole bunch of mini-formal analysis papers. So yeah, blogging is cool, writing masses of text is not. Which makes me glad that i never lived back in the time of 'ol Jesus, cause i could not stand having to write everything out. Jesus was the original blogger. And i respect that.

     Now, back down to business, for the second quarter i have chosen Dream Keeper by Langston Hughes, for various reasons.One reason was the fact that this book is really really short, which would allow me to finish all of the material, and focus all of my time on converting all of my thoughts onto the book into blog form. Which could greatly increase the quality of my blog. And just like my mom used to say, "Michael, do your damn blog, you are not getting another B in english!' Taking the words of my dear mother to heart, i intend to bring poetry to the masses through blogging round 2.

Animoto, more like Animo-..... Nevermind. Watch it!

Whatup bloggers. Just made a nifty animoto here about The Great Gatsby. It's not a straightforward look at the book necessarily but i attempted to add some flair and abstractedness with the picture and text combos. Hopefully you all have as much fun watching it as i had making it!
