New Statement of Purpose

In my statement of purpose I said I would write about "the pressing issues in society", and I haven't really been living up to that, and I think it would be healthy for my writing if I did so. I also said that I would write about skating and education. Nothing about education has been a major topic in my blog except for little tid bits here and there. I've done a couple on skating but nothing has captured my attention as much as music. I still want to keep that a major subject but i need to expand my horizons in writing.
My second blog post was about the skating society, that was a fun topic. I got into some really deep stuff that I wanted to elaborate on in later posts, but I never really got around to it. I also got a little crazy/vulgar towards the end, but I just felt really frustrated by all the shit skaters get from figures of authority. Anyways, it would be goo to elaborate more into the important issues of the skating community. The next post was my intro to music, I really just outlined what music is to me. I'll admit, my writing was a little repetitive, but I needed 300 words, so it was the best I could do.
Next post was my first review. It was about the 5th generation Ipod Nano, and i reviewed the hell out of it.The only thing about it I regret not mentioning was the very short battery life, that's definitely my least favorite thing about it. I believe I portrayed how much of an awesome piece of equipment this thing is very well in that post. My next free write post was to give a band that very much needs some credit, its dues. I got a response from a person outside of school saying it was a good post and how much he liked the band. Obviously, my writing has improved. My next post... lets just skip that one.
In conclusion, my statement of purpose said that I would be more involved in the world and its politics, I haven't really done that so much, but I intend to. I said I'd write about skating and education, I talked about skating. I don't really plan much to talk about education in the future, maybe 1 or 2 posts. I'm definitely going to focus on music, I love it too much to ignore it.

  1. It's cool to read your honest, forthright impressions of your own work. If you come up with any way I could help you find some political reading materials or anything like that, let me know.
