Blog: A Learning Tool

After less than a couple of weeks of blogging I've learned a few things.  First, I wish I was a much better speller and proof reader.  Writing has never been my strong suit.  I have opinions on everything, but I am not always able to express them in writing.  But, I can see how blogging regularly helps me improve my skills.

Second, I feel I am learning far more from you than you are from me.  Your comments really help me gain new perspectives.  It's refreshing to know there are so many intelligent people out there (but still not nearly enough).  The problem is  the dumb asses of the world get way too much attention, i.e. Sarah, Glen, and Rush.

Last, but not least, I have a new confidence in our liberal minded community.  I know there are a lot of really good-hearted people out there who will be our future leaders.  Things are really looking up.

  2. Hi, I think you're a great story-teller. The occasional spelling mistake doesn't detract from that. Looking forward to seeing more entries :)

  3. Ha, how sad that the dumb-asses are so dumb we can refer to them on a first-name basis (sad for them. And us, I suppose....)

  4. Anyone who bitches about your spelling or writing abilities is just a troll anyway and should be told to STFU. The purpose of a blog is to get ideas across not to have the grammar Nazis jumping all over you. I think your points come across very well and really that's the important thing. This is quickly become one of my favorite blogs and I always look forward to updates :D

  5. Know what I'm grateful for? The new color scheme. As I think I remarked on an early post, the original scheme was hard on my old eyes. I'm glad I checked back. Thanks!
