My last blog

If you are reading this then I am dead...just kidding it’s my last blog. I know its going to be hard to move on knowing that there is no more Drizzle blogging, but I have faith the world will continue. I bet you’re all happy to not have to read any more embarrassing and stupid blogs made by Jake Strasser though. Jake couldn’t put any less effort into his blogging; he makes Charlotte Perkins Gilman look like an EFFORT MONSTER. And we all know what I think about CPG; don’t even get me started. Over the past two months I have grown to love blogging. I was skeptical at first, but I feel I have brought my blogging skills up to probably the best in both classes. If there were a draft in blogging, like there is in fantasy baseball, I would most likely go first overall. I feel blogging has not only made me get a deeper understanding of the novel but also brought some fun, which always makes learning easier. That’s what I feel is the hardest thing to bring to the classroom and Mr. Saxon touché, you nailed it. Some people still feel that blogging is stupid but lets be honest it was fun and different from anything we ever did. It challenged us to write what we thought about the book and at the same time it left it open for discussions between students. Leaving comments on blogs caused students to intermingle and get a better understanding of the novel. These days, I live to blog. It’s like a terrible heroine addiction and I don’t know if I’ll be able to kick it once this marking period ends. I’ll probably relapse, but let’s be real here, that wouldn’t be that bad. Also if you want a blog that is as good as here is a website that can help. Don’t expect to be as good as me because that may never happen, but good luck. Blood, sweat and tears were put into this thing I hope you enjoyed. I just want to say one last thing before I leave. Marini you were a great partner even though you weren't always on top of your work, you hated blogging, and you had a terrible attitude. Our blogs were probably the best in both classes and no one wanted us in the beginning. When all doubted me and I thought I had no one left in my life you appeared from the shadows. You put your trust in me to preform and gave me a reason to blog. You believed in me and gave me a chance and I thank you for that. There will always be a place for you in my heart. When ever someone doubts you too, I will be there to motivate you. Don't let anyone put you down kid because I believe. This is Drizzle blogging out.

I too now live to blog. And blog to live. I just feel like we have come so far together through this whole blogging process. Your blog posts filled an empty void in my life. For 18 years I always thought that void could only be filled by true love, and thus I have been searching for some time now. However it seems that all it takes sometimes is fate. We were stuck as blog buddies because no one wanted us, but we wanted eachother. You believed in me and helped me through the tougher times. Rule #47 never leave a blog buddy behind. I will miss the countless seconds I spent skimming your illiterate blog posts, as well as the hope, faith, and love we have shared these past couple weeks. I wish this wasn't goodbye, but I am afraid it is..

I hate you Drew Herzon, I hate you... But god damn do I respect you.



The man who spent his entire life searching for true love, but only found it through the fate of a blog buddy,
