In class on Monday, we were raising all sorts of questions and classroom bedlam if you will. My confusion and concern for my grade in this class was thankfully shared with others because who likes to be confused and concerned alone? I took down notes on how to effectively blog and perhaps raise my blog posts grade with some quality points.
How to be risky...
-quote others
-quote professors
-puppet shows
-other creative outlets
I want to strive and not live a life that is the same every day. Whether it's trying questionable food at the Restaurant or if it's just trying to get a better grade by studying differently, it's still my goal to try new things in life. So, I hope to become risky with my blogging.
Today I choose to (drum roll)...QUOTE THE PROFESSOR.
Now, putting aside everything I just said, I would like to take a drastic and risky turn towards the comment "Wikipedia is spiritual".
Wikipedia was highly frowned upon by my classes in high school and in community college my English professor was a hippie from the 70's who only talked about conspiracy theories.
So needless to say, I try to stay away from the murky, vague waters of wikipedia.
I remember once I saw on the Colbert Report a Word about Wikipediality and basically told his viewers to change Wikipedia's page on elephants saying that they were extinct. This did happen because viewers were faithful, and wikipedia was revamped.
Now that it's harder to change it is more credible, but spiritual?
I try to understand how "everything is spiritual", but sometimes fail. How can looking up things(non-Jesus related) be spiritual?
After thinking, I don't think I have a correct answer to this quote that stuck out to me. However, I do understand that Wikipedia is such a cornerstone in accessible information on the Internet. Maybe one day I will look back in my rocker and say in an old voice "Thank God for Wikipedia". Or maybe not. Who knows...

Haha, your post is so mild in topic but yet it still puts a thought provoking question at the end. Will we look back at something that was talked about to be not credible and totally/uttterly unacceptable in high school; and say, wow it actually was a useful sorce? Times change and already we are seeing a change in the way you can access that information so maybe it will become more credible in the near future and be taught to our kids as a useful search engine.
ReplyDeleteBahahahaha!!! I love your post, its just so you. I think that as long as you are willing to receive instruction and guidance from your peers and professor you will be able to improve your blogging. You have a very good attitude about it so I’m sure you'll be able to improve and get the grade you are working hard for.
