AE #6 Reflection Blog

My favorite selfie 

  As  I close out another English course that required blogging, I must say that I enjoyed blogging. I've spoken much more candidly on subjects that make me squirm, like politics and giving my readers a peek into my life. I felt very comfortable with blogging. I liked finding videos and pictures to forward the story and add visual drama to the posts. I would have to say that blogging felt easier than the writing projects because of the visual aspect of blogs. The links also helped tell a more complete view of the story. I used blogging as a reward for getting other projects done. Sad, isn't it, to use one assignment to spur me to complete the first one? I truly got into blogging. I liked the routine of blogging every weekend, I would post something on Saturday and edit it frequently throughout the weekend.
   When I first started, I was apprehensive about the whole blogging subject, but as it was a requirement, I felt that I may as well  enjoy the lesson. It HAD to be done, so I decided to have fun with it. The more I blogged the more confident I became with the process. I missed it during my time with no English class, and would revisit the posts from time to time. I resisted the urge to add content or edit what was already there. I also kept up with my page views, they felt like "likes" to me. I will probably keep blogging after this class has ended and, continue to post new entries when I have something to say.
  As a direct result of blogging, I learned the art of the "selfie". My favorite selfie shows my eyes but not my mouth, I wonder what kind of psychological statement that makes? I did enjoy finding my voice in blog posts, and will use it in the future.
  Never fear, readers, you have not heard the last of me. I'll leave you with a type of music that seems to be a contradiction in terms; bluegrass/rap, but I really like it. Its called Ganstagrass. It is the theme song to one of my favorite shows, Justified. It helps that it is set in Harlan County Kentucky. I hear references to my old stomping grounds in every episode.
