15 minutes.

I'm just going to say something 15 minutes before this class starts. Got a response on my writing style and apparently someone isn't too happy about the voice I choose to write my responses. Makes me pretty sad. I write as I talk and sometimes I think people can't hear me and therefore do not like my writing. Unfortunately, that's not about to change. My prompt was to "Write a 500-750 word response about your listening experience and post to your blog. Be sure to link to the stories you listened to. Your response should strive to respond to the stories as a group, not individually." If my previous post was anything less than my experience about the "This I Believe" stories, please do not hesitate to say so. I posted my complete and total feelings from the heart and I did in fact say what I thought the broadcasts were all about: Soothing NPR voices with a touch of people expounding upon the ways they conduct their life around a miniscule occurrence or scenario that pronounced itself in their past. If I didn't say that, coupled with my experience listening to these, I don't know what I did. I'm sorry if my voice wasn't an appealing aspect of the piece, but my content was there.

I realize how I misunderstood the part I misunderstood and here's what I can tell you about that. I like the broadcasts that dealt with topics I was also interested in and I'd probably talk on how I believe in running my life around not doing as your told, but at least still being good for yourself. There's a part of me that wants to live lawless but not be evil about it. Possibly a Robin Hood lifestyle, just less bows and arrows. Something about living within your own being and realizing society is all a fabricated collection of things created by humans who need to feel in control of something, is exciting.
