I have no clue what to write about, so I'll just go with sports - since that is just about the only thing I can write about and it be somewhat interesting. I think what makes sports, particularly baseball, a great sports to watch (but also write about) is the human drama that is throughout the whole game. Like the Razorback game last night, it was just filled with drama and conflict, which brings stories alive. I could not find a person that was sitting down during the end of the game after Brett Eibner hit a two-run shot to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth. You just can't make stuff up like that. It's just the human element of sports that makes them so great - the competition, the redemptive qualities. It just makes writing so much easier and interesting. Oh dang. I just got a forwarded text message from someone. I had no clue that these were going around. I guess the people that didn't get enough of the annoying e-mail chains are at it again. Who really thinks that is a good idea? Really? Do I need to send this two 10 other people so I'm not eaten by a shark or something? It's so random, not unlike this wall of test. But hey, at least I have good music. Back to the chain e-mails - I wonder who really thought that was a good idea. Do people really still pass those around? I don't think I've checked an e-mail other than my univeristy e-mail in more than a month. This was the most random things I've ever put together.

Good thinking on writing about sports...I did too...I just can't seem to get into baseball.
ReplyDeletei hate chain emails. with a passion.
ReplyDeleteChain emails and texts irritate me. Most of the time I ignore them, but sometimes I pass them along just in case I do go swimming with sharks or something...
ReplyDeleteYou can write other things than sports.... sports are cool, but there is much much more to the world than games.
ReplyDeleteLauren: Are you watching the Red Sox? Perhaps that's why you can't get into baseball.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great game. I didn't go but I kept up with the live gamecast on the internet. I was nervously pacing around at the end.
