First and foremost, I would like to apologize. It has come to my attention that I have used a variety of font sizes in my blog posts. While this saddens me, I will not take full blame for such a tragedy. In fact, I formally condemn Weebly and their plus/minus font size indicator. Blog post editing is made worse by its confusingly simple function. Press plus for bigger text/press minus for smaller text seems fairly simple in simple thought, but it causes a brand new set of problems in the long-run. Using size eleven font is a lot easier to remember than using size press-plus-three-times font. I will leave it at that.
As you, the reader, may have figured out, this is my final school blog post of the year.
I’ll try to save the grievances for Festivus. Over the year, I’ve been forced to write down my feelings on these pages. It may have felt a little forced in the beginning, but I now understand the process much better. While I’ve never had a problem with using my brain to think about certain things (both things mentioned in previous posts and beyond), I have had a problem with keeping tabs on these thoughts. As a human, I’m prone to forget about whatever I might be deep in thought with one day. If I write a blog post about a topic, it’s there forever. I haven’t written about anything too embarrassing either so the whole “forever” is definitely a plus.
Whenever I have a somewhat intelligent thought, I write it down. I believe that this is a side-effect of the blogging. Just yesterday I had an idea about a funny stand-up bit (again, I said “TOO embarrassing”). I wrote it down in the Notes section of my phone. It soon joined a strangely underused app filled with other random thoughts from the annals of my brain. As I finished typing up a open-mic performance (I swear it’s pretty funny), I looked through the other things that my past self had deemed fit for storage in the Notes app. There were a lot of good ideas, ideas that I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN. Yet again, school succeeds in “trying to teach me something.” You win school, you always do.
And with a small yet meaningful final paragraph comes the moral of this post: record your thoughts in some way. Whether it be a journal, blog, voice memo, video, or even a tweet. You never know when you might want to add on to such a thought, or simply contact Netflix and do a stand-up special.
You are one funny guy! Thanks for the entertainment this year!

Just another kid, doing another class blog assignment. There's nothing too special here, unless if you're my teacher. In that case, I pour my heart and soul onto these digital pages.
