So…I just checked our stats…
SOMEONE IS CHECKING THIS BLOG.
Who are you? Why are you wasting your time on us?
I apologize to you for never updating.
I have so much to say, and never get around to saying it.
So…as I’m in the process of writing three major papers for school, I’m going to take the time to say some things.
1. I would do almost anything to be in a band and go on tour. The appeal is overwhelming. My desires to have true musical talent really fill my thoughts at least a couple of times a day. I want people to watch me perform on stage. I want people to sing along with my songs. I want to make friends with other bands and have an amazing time. Heck, I would even be a tour manager or something, since I don’t (and won’t) have any band-worth musical talent.
2. I’m pretty upset about the murder in the dorms. I’m upset that an “innocent” girl was killed. I’m upset about the motives behind the confrontation. Why was the mother living with her daughter in the dorm for two weeks? Now she’s going to rot in prison for, quite possibly, the rest of her life. What kind of emotions were going through her? There’s so much I could say about the whole thing. How awful were the girls to her daughter? Why didn’t she confront them the night before? There’s just so many unanswered questions. Yeah, we know the story, but what’s the story?
3. Things like #1 and #2 are what drive me as a journalist. Let me explain. I want to tell stories. I want to know stories. I have this strange feeling and obsession with knowing things that I shouldn’t. I want to know people’s backgrounds. I want to know their story. Then, after I learn all I can, using my writing skills I can tell that story. Not for gossip. Not to ruin lives. I just want to tell people’s stories. I want to interview the murderer. I want to know WHY she was living with her daughter. I want to know WHY she has been in trouble with the law for so long. I want to know what she was thinking as she stabbed Lola repeatedly. It’s sick, yes. But I just want to KNOW. Then I want to tell the story.
Alright, I need to write more mindless drivel about Starbucks and their international expansion plans and why they should force their coffees and teas upon the people of India.
SWPL needs to publish Alex’s peanut butter feature. Get this guy’s work out there. He deserves it.
Summer, I’ll see you soon.
