Memoirs of an English Major

"I am not going to sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. I’m going to take a stand. I’m going to defend it. Right or wrong, I’m going to defend it" - Cameron Frye

    Thought I would open up tonight’s post with a plug. One of my good friends recently posted his Nine Inch Nails remix online and I figured it was appropriate to plug the link. Check it out at http://remix.nin.com/member/CloudedRealm. Well worth a listen.

    Recently, mainly due to Entrecard, I’ve had an influx of traffic and it occurred to me. Some of my better posts are deep within the archives and are extremely hard to locate. This week should mark the new theme and with that will come tagging of all of my posts and the removal of categories. I feel with the amorphous writing style, it is best organized in the cloud structure, which isn’t one at all. The cloud should also illustrate where I concentrate on and where I am lacking in, encouraging me to continue with my goal in exploring how I write in various mediums. This will happen by the end of the week. Once complete, there will be the cloud widget on the sidebar, ready to show the work in a very strange style. So without further delay, I will now reveal some of my better posts. Feel free to comment on each post or if you’re coming from Entrecard, comment on my card. I will take any and all concerns.

• Digg Sale : At one point,a rumor was floating around that Digg was going to be up for grabs and well, I wrote my opinion on it. What started out as a post on Digg became what I believe is the most important thing in this new era of the web.
• Strange Fiction : One of my common writing techniques is to simply write without too much of a plan, seeing where it develops. This is probably one of the better examples and once again, it started somewhere and ended in a place I still don’t quite understand.
• How I became an English Major : Of course it’s a known fact that I am an English Major, but it is important to note that this was not always the case. In fact, my Management Information Systems minor was my original major. This story illustrates my journey into where I am today and how I got here. It is possibly one of my favorite memoirs.
• Realism in Science Fiction : Quite possibly, this is one my proudest achievement in college writing career. It is one of the best examples of my formal writing style. Presented to a panel within my college, it is one of the few papers not written for a class.

Though the list is short, it should illustrate where I tend to go with my blog. Enjoy.
