Writing Blog Post 1

On the subject of what I like to read, I enjoy reading news articles, particularly sports ones. I am always on websites such as univeralsports.com, or espn.com reading about the latest sports news. I think that I enjoy these so much not because of the interest, but because of the facts that are presented in the articles. I am a statistics kind of guy and like to read articles that have charts or graphs in them. As for blogging, I visit websites such as floswimming.org and jjhuddle.com, which are sports blogging websites. These sites enable readers to comment on posts, and, usually, a large discussion erupts about the article because of the differing opinions between the bloggers. As for reading books, I am proud to say that I always read every book that was assigned to me in high school. I might not have liked all of them, but always read them so I knew what was going on. Some books that I did find interesting were: To Kill a Mocking Bird, Lord of the Flies, and Night. I was never a fan of any of the Shakespeare novels and found them to be a whole lot of waste. This was probably because understanding the dialect was a project in itself. To shift gears into writing, I also feel like I have great ideas and points in arguments. I wish I was better at wording how I feel to in order to create a more persuasive response rather than to just state how I feel. An opinion can easily be overlooked if it isn't sold the right way and sometimes I feel like people who read my work will miss the point.
