Glad to See You Go.

Dear Julia,


     You could say this is a good-bye letter; you probably won't ever read this, but I just need to say it. Everyday I think of you and sometimes I hope you're thinking of me too.  I still think what was meant to be, hoping that one day we'll be together again. Through much difficulty though, I have finally realize that if keep hoping, I'll only end up being more hurt.


    I have to say this was a pretty interesting three months. School is much more difficult than I expected. My grades slipped and I was heartbroken. For the past three months I was wondering what happened. Was it my fault? Did I do something? Everyday I would try to figure out what happened and why it happened. I still haven't figured it out, haha...my friends told me it wasn't my fault (even with all the breaks). They told me your action were too drastic, the breaks were nothing, and you had another reason onto why you you took me out of your life. 


    I died every time when someone mentioned you in a comment. And every time I see a picture of you, my heart would jump (I know I'm such a weirdo). On the good side I met some of the most amazing people here :) I kind of sense that the friendships I make here; they'll be lasting ones, well at least I hope. I've grown as a person...I see what I need to do; thanks to you.


      I think there were other reasons why you did those things...but if it was my fault for being the one that made you break up with me, then I'm sorry. Sorry I couldn't be the best boyfriend; sorry I had to put you through all of those breaks it must've been hard...and even though people said that the breaks were nothing I feel horrible for putting you through it; sorry I couldn't go on more dates with you; sorry if I wasn't understanding when it came to you; sorry if I ever hurt you in anyway (I'm a guy...I'm oblivious). Except for the breaks, I just hope you understand that I tried. You may not believe it, but I really did...I was naive, still am, but I used everything I had to make you happy or what I thought would make you happy. Sorry I couldn't make you happy.


     I hated the fact that we broke up. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the best for you, I still do...but I hated that it ended the way it did. I raged...a lot haha. I don't  know, I just hope that the reason why you did the things you did was because you thought it was best for us. You still cared for me...trying to ease the heart break. Well, that's what I hope to think...


You have to admit, it was a fun relationship; I'm glad that I met you, even though it didn't end as I pictured. One day, I hope we can look each other and be friends again. Until then, I hope you are doing well. I hope you are looking for your happiness, because I'm working on mine right now :)




     If I do see you, I hope to look you in the eye and say thank you. Thank you for being my first. Thank you for caring for me. Thanks for all of those great time. Without you I wouldn't have realized what I needed to do and what I have to do to reach my goals. You made me stronger. Best wishes Julia, there'll always be a place in my heart for you.




-Love,
James

Blogging?

To blog or not to blog? That is the question! Haha, even though there was a rough start in the semester; I would have to say it was a good one. Not only did I improve on my writing, I also changed as a person. I'm more outgoing and I know my capabilities.
English was my favorite class (even with all of the depressing short stories). Even though it was really sad, I actually liked and appreciated the stories. Thank you Louis for choosing them. I hated it when I was reading then, but looking back, they actually helped me get past the hardest parts.
Blogging, in my opinion really did help my writing. That's why I think I'll continue posting on this blog. I feel that if I keep blogging and writing what's on my mind...my writing will mature. Hopefully, you guys who are reading this will see my growth.
Thanks for everything everyone! It was definitely a fun class. c: (that's a smile Louis) :D (this one too)

Rules of a Gentleman

Rule of a gentleman

Rule of a Lady (could go for gentleman too)

Cathedral

Is it weird that I found the husband's action funny? I mean I loved it when he asked which side of the train the blind man sat on. I even chuckled when the husband turned on the TV. This short story was not what I had expected; I mean it was different from Carver's other stories. This one was humorous and had an unexpected twist of events. I mean I seriously thought he was going to kick the blind guy out of the house when the story started. In the end he actually got along with Robert, which was rather surprising. I don't know I actually liked how the story ended. It made me smile when they drew the cathedral together.

Blogs! 8D<--that's a face 11/21/2011

The Wannabe Gentleman 11/14/2011

Dear so and so... 11/9/2011

These are the four blogs I would like for you to look over. The reason why I chose these four blogs is that I personally think that they’re my strongest blogs. These are the blogs that I tried something new with. For instance, the “The Wannabe Gentleman” I tried writing what I wanted to: write what was on my mind. For “Blogs 8Dßthat’s a face” I tried to analyze blogs while contributing humor to it. Usually, my writing style is a bit more serious so I decided to incorporate some humor in this blog to try to change that. For “Dear so and so…” I tried to give advice to someone. And finally for “Bloggity blog” it was a huge mesh of humor, analyzing,  and putting my opinion together (even though I did do some of this in other blogs I think this is my strongest).

In “Bloggity blog” I talk about what’s the relationship and differences of blogs. I like this blog mostly because of the visuals. The William Shakespeare picture “To blog or not to blog...” made my day. It cracked me up once I saw that, I knew I should add that to my post. In “The Wannabe Gentleman” I talk about what is a gentleman and why I want to be a gentleman. Like I said, I tried to write what was on my mind. And since I was expressing myself you can sense my voice. In “Blogs! 8Dß that’s a face” I talk about the blogs and recommend them to the audience. I like this blog because you can see my writing style: analyzing with a touch of humor. Even though it was my first time trying to incorporate humor while analyzing, it came easier than I expected. And finally for “Dear so and so…” I give advice to young readers. I don’t know why I like this blog. I just like how I wrote it, hahaha.

Overall, this was a fun project. I wish the blog project was a bit longer, but oh well. Because of this project I think my writing has gotten a lil bit stronger. I’m able to express myself and I think I’m able to analyze deeper.
