I wrote a blog about some stuff

***Note***
This blog is best read whilst enjoying this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGHI4TAC5U
It also helps if you time your reading so that you're about halfway done at around 1:05 in the song

What a swell year for blogs it has been. This year fulfilled my long desire to feel like a pretentious writer who blogs all the time and makes their people/family feel bad for not reading them. I feel as if I was able to make a real change in world events through my gritting and unrelenting blogs with such topics as: English, books, and even more English. Blogs mainly served as a way for me to reflect on the weeks happenings with relation to our class. Many things that we did seemed fairly laborious or boring at the time. (Talking about you Beloved and any in-class essay). But come blog time I was able to reflect on these tasks in a more positive light. Sure, reading Beloved may have been one of the worst experiences I've ever had reading a book. But blogs allowed me to reflect on my qualms and realize that I had much to gain from these tortures. Blogging about my ever lasting love for in-class essays helped me realize that many of my problems with those guys were intrinsic to me and could not be blamed entirely on the prompts. Blogging also provided additional opportunities for me to ponder on my independent reading books. Since everyone got to choose their independent reading books it meant that there was no time to discuss each specific novel in class. However, I could blog about my books and make realizations that weren't present in my initial reflections. I would also say how reading my fellow classmates blogs exposed me to a wide range of unique and diverse perspectives and helped me culture a greater appreciation for individualism but then I would be a filthy liar. I seemed to be notorious for forgetting to read other people's blogs so sorry about that other people.
Also, blogs=free points=profit?

I wanted to end this final blog on some super profound/emotional note but I really suck at those things and ain't nobody got time for that. So here's the next best thing: a photo of a guinea pirate of course. Nature's most feared animal/pirate hybrid.
