"I" am retiring

Blogging in Composition class has been sort of a disappointment. I liked the original idea of everyone posting their thoughts, experiences, people reading them, commenting, and creating a real forum of discussion. And in theory it can still work. But so far no one really seems to read each others blog (or at least they don't show it) and there seems to be little incentive to take the effort to write a good post.

However, looking at the bright side, the lack of an actual audience gives me the oppurtunity to do something I have always dreamed of: rip off Deadspin editor, my favorite blogger Will Leitch. Will writes for a sports-themed gossip blog that specializes in its humor, all while posting in the plural, first person form. We've always wanted to try it. We feel it lends a fun, humorous quality to blogging without any pretension. And since our only reader is our English teacher, we feel like we can get away with it without any scorn or retribution.

So I won't be blogging, but WE will from time to time when an idea burns our noggin, like Michael Vick and a case of the herpes.
