| good writing...
theres something special about a well written essay/article/book that makes me not want to stop reading...i was just thinking about this because i'm rewriting my memo assignment, and its quite difficult, especially when you question every comma or the placement of each word...while i do believe alot of good writing is hard work (which includes being anal and obsessive-compulsive), some of it is just plain skill...like an athlete, working hard will undoubtedly improve your game, but that "it" factor is what makes people great...mike, tiger, 2005 chicago white sox...that ability to organize your words and ideas so that it not only makes sense in your head, but to the reader...the ability to state what you mean (and what you feel), while not seeming to one-sided or overbearing...for example, alot of young men like myself read the sports guy (for the record, i've been on his nuts since sophmore year)...there are ALOT of sports writers, but never have i come across one who can make me laugh and think about sports like him...he has "it"...
so what i'm really trying to say is i wish i had "it" because this memo is taking more time than i would like...anyone wish to lend me it? | | |
| don't stop believin...
ah, i don't know what to say...i feel like everything in the world is right...the sun is shining and its 1:27am...the music is playin in my silent room...i won't even mention what this blog is about, but you should already know...its taken them 88 years...i'm only 14 years into it, but it might never happen again..
11-1 postseason record...eight straight postseason wins...and i predicted it...juan uribe into the stands for the second out in the ninth...ozzie always reppin venezuela...watching game 3 at joes barely stayin awake but couldn't miss a pitch...wearing white sox gear for two weeks straight and people beginning to ask me did i change from the day before...attempting to get tickests to the alds,alcs and world series and realizing i had no chance...reading any and everything related to them...bobby jenks lookin 15 but throwin like hes a modern nolan ryan...iguchi playin every bit the professional...dye reppin the god fearing men and not partaking in the champagne bliss, but still puttin up mvp numbers...konerkos gettin paid...crede will be an all star in the next year or two...a.j. is the man, period...rowands defense is second to only andruw in centerfield...ah, i can't handle it anymore...
good guys wear black
i think i got 'tagged', but that will have to wait til another entry...in the words of ice cube, today was a good day... | | |
| music...
so i'm not the biggest music fan like alot of my close friends and family are...however, i have noticed the lack of talent in music lately, notably in hip hop...now i've mentioned this a time or two to some of you, but i've been irked lately by some of the music i come across...
1. how ind the hell does little kim get 5 (five!?!) mics in the source?...i remember a time when 5 mics were the holy grail of hip hop..now apparently C-skilled rappers can get them...
2. i reluctantly give way to my girls opinion that some of today's music is degrading to young girls...maybe i'm being to be a little conservative, but is it very hypocritical for a radio station to play a song which compares a woman's body to candy, followed by a message from russell simmons praising minister louis farakhan...you should at least seperate the segments by an RnB song or two...i don't get it anymore...
3. where in the hell do the following rappers get their fan base from: cam'ron, young buck, david banner, etc etc etc...i can't think of anyone who actually feels like these rappers have skills...i'd put my money on my brother to beat them in a freestyle...i feel like the music industry is using the boy band cookie cutter procedure on rappers...
however, i am quite happy with kanye and common...they're cd's are the lone bright spot in hip hop...however to the however, i'm beginning to enjoy jazz more...it takes some talent to be a jazz artist...just started on miles davis...next up, john coltrane...
(the point of this entry is because i really hated a song on wgci last nite...and it got me thinking about all the good music i grew up to (minus those terrible purchases of do or die's second album and that dawson creek soundtrack, along with some others i can't remember right now))
back to the grind again... | | |
| eyes wide shut...
blah, its 1:13 am and i can't go to sleep...i think i have periodic insomnia...do your forget how to sleep?...i sometimes do...
so as i was laying in bed, i started thinking of what kind of law i actually want to practice...i know, corny...and its slowly dawning on me that although it would be nice to wear a tailored suit everyday and make $125K (75 minus taxes), i'm not sure thats what i want (even though i'll probably do it so this ramble is really pointless)...anyway, isn't there more to this rat race?...large law firms eat you up and spit you out (at least thats what i hear)...can you imagine 100 hour work weeks?...i can't...what else is there?...maybe i can get into sports...the texas rangers just hired a 28 yr old GM...or i could get into working for the military or the FBI (at least they'd force me into shape)...or i can just practice solo...see, what i'm trying to get at is that it feels like even though as 'professionals' we have so many options, we really don't...we're up against people with similar skills and determination...what sets us apart?...our gpa? making law review? who we know?...i'm being cynical, but law schools force us to believe their formula of success (which we have to if we want to work for Zidder Zepp & Zelch LP)...most of us are too timid and realistic to go out on a limb to go after our dream job (i've always wanted to open my own restaurant)...
but wait...i don't want you to think that i hate law school or the area of law...its not that because i really enjoy learning legal theory and the interesting people i go to school with...and i do want to do really well and do all the fun law student things (law review, hide books from classmates, read espn during property)...but i do think that there is more to this madness...hell, i think theres more to life...the only question is then, am i willing to find it?...
(man, that blog was a) too deep b) confusing and c) hypocritical)
ps - i write my blog in hope that more than 2 people read it...but i do appreciate my faithful readers...thanks babe! | | |
