Blogs are bullshit. Perhaps a true testament to a culture obsessed with self-promotion, self-aggrandizement and self proclamation. Only a "Myspace generation" would take a self reflecting practice, put it online and pray to the internet gods to make them famous. This I imagine is what many people want for their blogs. To become the next Perez Hilton or whoever the fuck. With that said, I am not above any of the aforementioned things. However, my intent is to improve my writing and legitimately express myself, while gaining valuable feedback. It's also a test of endurance. Let us see if I can regularly update and write a blog.
The Man Named Ernest
Ernest is a drunken fellow who stumbled into my apartment today. As stated earlier, he was a sloppy drunk who made a habit of falling (he fell twice on the floor). Being home alone, I originally thought my mother had entered the apartment and for all intents and purposes, fell on the floor. To my surprise, it was an elderly man who insisted he knew my mom, "Do you know Yvonne?" Until questioned a second time, "Are you sure you know Yvonne?" where he changed his mind completely. "I'm so embarrassed, I think I'm in the wrong house." I responded, " You may be right buddy." Ernest then proceeded to offer me candy (I'm serious). This made the situation a bit more peculiar. Anyway, the lesson of today's story is: Lock your doors, but if you happen to be the one who stumbles onto unfamiliar territory bring candy.

Hmm, its good, I like the flow and I could see myself coming back to read more. Just watch your grammar bit. Let's see how long you can keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteI give it week. I think your a little too ADD to keep this blog thing going, but prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteI believe in you, buddy. If I had to make a suggestion, it'd be that you should use more commas. It throws off the reader, or at least me, when there are commas missing.
ReplyDeleteI like it bro. Just dont bash our own generation too too bad yano? I mean of course theres alot we have to work on as we approach our time to rule the nation and so on. lol "talkin bout my generation." that song just popped in my shoulder bolder there. Very good word play and use and the legato ( shots out to Kenkins for teaching me that word that I've added to my rep) is phenominal and I like the joke at the end it make for a light dissertation. -Schell
