"Several things about fairy tales are known to be true. They begin with "once upon a time" and end with "happily ever after." Filled with witches, dragons, damsels in distress, and heroes, these tales stay in the minds of children for years to come. However, these young listeners are getting much more than a happy ending. Fairy tales are passed from one generation to another. As societies develop, fairy tales are changed to fit the needs and morals those societies want to impress upon their children. Therefore, the style and content of a fairy tale is directly affected by the social attitudes of a particular society at a particular time. There are hundreds of fairy tales that have traveled the world for centuries. But there are only a few names that have stood the test of time as the ultimate fairy tale writers." I thought I would start off my blog with the opening paragraph of my essay. I'm looking for some positive or negative feed back. I put a lot of thought into this paragraph and I want to know what my viewers think. Is it to broad? It is to short? Are there some things I should add or take away? My essay is a work in progress and I feel I'm moving along pretty well.
This paragraph is just a small piece of the master piece that will be finished next friday. I'm hoping to get a lot done this week. I want to go online and read some articles on Walt Disney and The Brothers Grimm. I need to find out the differences in their stories and how they have changed over time. It should be interesting and I'm excited to do the work.
I have a lot of motivation to do this especially with "two eight" (Matthew Marini) right behind me every step of the way. He is more then just a friend and a great role-model he is my blog partner and he knows what I'm capable of doing. And if you're impressed by the work I have done so far, then check out Marini's blog he is like a knot of excellence ready to be untangled, and I mean that.
And for all my fans out there this is a historical day for drizzle is burning. It is my 14th blog and its a huge landmark to reach in the blogging world. The year is almost over, I got like 7 weeks left but I'm hoping to reach the century mark by the end of this year. I know I got it in me.

oh hey drew, didnt see ya there. must have snuck up on me. I stumbled across your latest blog entry, and boy have you come a long way. Its almost like you didn't even write it. The way I have watched you grow over these past few months not only as a writer, but as a man really makes me appreciate the good things in life. You know, sometimes we overlook the things that should be most important to us, things like love, commitment, growth, and friendship. We have been through so many hard times together both in the blogging world, on the court, and on the diamond, but always together we find a way to pull through. Seems like things are just a bit easier with best friend at your side huh?
Anyways, I just wanted to say how proud I am of you.. and i know we joke around on these blogs but this is from the heart. Your development as a human has been almost surreal to me. Sometimes I feel like im not there enough for you. I really wanted to play the role of a father figure here, and i think to this point i have let you down. But im here to promise you now that things are gonna be different. Were gonna be spending alot more time together dueces.
Hey pal o' mine, grab your mit we'll have a catch. Unless you wanna throw the pigskin around alittle.
Just know that if you ever need anything. I'll always be there for you, i just hope im the one you turn to... even after all the mistakes ive made.
