P5 online publishing

Another choice blog… in this choice blog I will write about this class and how I feel like I’m greatly improving in it. This class started all the way back in September, I may or may have not taken this class because someone told me it was an easy class to be in, and one of my favorite teachers of all time is teaching it… I thought that would be the case at first, but I have grown to love this class. I really never wrote about my thoughts or what I wanted to write about so I really didn’t enjoy writing all that much, but being in this class changed that. I have learned to love writing. Being in this class, and having a great teacher and a great editor really changed my ways of writing. When I first heard we had to do a certain amount of blogs, and an article every week it scared the crap out of me because I did not think that I could make the deadlines, and a few times I did not. Now that is not the case, I look forward to the blogs that we have to write every week, and I really look forward to the “Items of Interest”. I look forward to these blogs because I know I will have a chance to write a choice blog about anything I want to, and express how I feel about that topic through my way of words. I look forward to the Item of Interest because we get to take articles out of the present times and discuss them between the class, I like this because we somewhat have a say, and can express how we feel towards that topic. I also saw some changes in my writing, as if the words I type come out naturally and don’t look weird anymore.

P4: Warren Sapp

This week we have two choice blogs to write about… crazy is it not?! Well since we have two choice blogs, I figured I’d write about something that would be easy to write about, in my case… celebrities and bashing them for their pure stupidity. Warren Sapp a Super Bowl Champion, a 5 time Pro-Bowl honoree, has recently filed for bankruptcy. Now the question you are all probably wondering, is how does a professional athlete that was one of the highest paid of his time, all of a sudden file for bankruptcy? It’s a crazy question and I believe that everyone is wondering the same thing… How did Warren Sapp go 6.7 million dollars in debt? Now I’m sorry but to me, that seems quite impossible. The guy makes 45 thousand a month working for the NFL Network, and that’s 540 thousand a year. Warren Sapp should not be in the spot he is in right now with the money he made, but probably because he is not a disciplined individual he does not have any money in his pockets. Warren Sapp owns $6.45 million in assets. These assets being 240 Jordan sneakers which is $6,500, a watch that is well over 1 grand, and a very expensive lion rug. Oh and another thing that seems to be unreal, is he lost his Super Bowl Ring, and also lost his National Championship Ring from college. That really grinds my gears especially being a football player myself, those are the things in life you can’t replace, you work all your life to get those rings, and you lost them, they’d be protected at all times, hell I’d even wear them every day, but I sure do know I wouldn’t be as careless as Warren Sapp and lose them. Someone please help this man.
