Well. (other title: Inspiration)

I know Greg tried at one point to promote this blog (although there's a flaw in the way he did it--- he set the date of one of the blog posts ahead, so it would constantly be the newest blog post, but that's not how Blogger works. It displays the blogs that were just posted only, and then they're gone. So it wouldn't show up on the front page until that one split second it was posted, and then bye bye!), but somebody else (dunno who) set the blog to private again (this is the second time now). So evidently we have contradicting notions on who we want to be able to read this blog. Well, I set it back to public again, only because I don't want to log in every time I want to read the blog, and because I don't want to be constantly logged into Google on my computer (in case someone else uses my computer or something). So yeah. I can switch it back if you want, though, you mystery man you.

Well, look at you, mystery man! You made me freewrite. You were my inspiration to post something again. And inspiration's exactly what I've wanted recently. I've been around a lot of great people and a lot of great things this summer, but for some reason the inspiration has been slow in taking effect or just hasn't accessed the creative part of my brain. Excuse me as I switch from this Natasha Bedingfield song... no, sorry, Natasha, you're not as inspiring as you claim to be.

Rap from 1999? Hell yes.

This summer. Yes, this summer. That might as well be a complete sentence, because it was a rather complete summer. However, as you well know from AP English, that is NOT a complete sentence. Meaning something was missing. And I think this summer it was quite simple: playing outside. I didn't get enough of it! And remember... VERB. IT'S WHAT YOU DO. Ah, don't you miss that public-service commercial slogan? I do. Miss. It's what I do. That should be a new sentence form: [verb]. It's what [pronoun] do(es). Yes. Am genius. It's what I do.

The Pussycat Dolls? Not so much the inspiring type... There we go. QUEEN LATIFAH. That's right. "Ladies First"! One of the best old-school rap songs ever.

In fact, this song is almost 50% rapped by another female rapper, Monie Love, and she's really good too. "I'm conversatin' to the fools who have no whatsoever clue, so listen very carefully as I break it down for you." Again, new sentence structure. Songs like this are why I dig hip-hop so much; it's just so fun. Haha, she just said "And I'm first, 'cause I'm an L-A-D-I-E"... very good. And I'm spent.
