Day Two of English 104 at Ball State University led me to create this Blog. It is a semester long assignment to help us broadcast our thoughts and ideas to not only the class, but whoever else wishes to take a gander. I have never blogged before, so bear with me... not bare with me, as I have found that means something completely irrelevant.
I narrowed down my list of possible subcultures that I would enjoy learning ore and writing about to 3 choices. Unfortunately in the process, I had to make some cuts, much the same as if I were the coach of a tee-ball team, yea there were tears but like the young children, it also made my list stronger... or that was the intention anyway. I made cuts including, but not limited to, Bikers, Nazis, Nudists, Swingers, Grumpy Elderly Nursing Home Residents, and Alcoholics. I figured most of these were not much fun for the whole family.
In the end, I decided to keep the following; My intramural basketball team "Off Constantly," Band Geeks, and Animal Activists. I quickly cut animal activists... and then there were two. It was down to "Off Constantly" and the Band Geeks. It would have ended in a stalemate if I had not come up with the ingenious idea of flipping a laundry quarter. This is because I had been in band all through high school and I love to play and spectate basketball events. I finally just tossed one of my quarters, twice, and two out of 3 times it landed on heads. This meant that "Off Constantly" would be my subculture choice for current and future writing projects.

Bradley, i thought that a life long friend should pop your blogs cherry, so here I am. You guessed it, ZAO... I wish i could elaborate on this topic but unfortunately I go to Hanover so I don't know much about your i.m. teams and i really don't know what to talk about. just thought that maybe a clarification for the topic would be nice. I would love to help!
ReplyDeleteEh there is no real set topic, other than it has to somehow relate to our research and info on our subculture we have to write reports on. My subculture is the basketball team I play on. So 2 times a week, every week until the end of school you will get random blogs about my life and or this research stuff. Along with this comes many pictures and videos. Soon to come.
