Desperation

For my writing class (one of the many at Kent) I had to write an essay expressing the importance of a piece of artwork and "demystify" it for the reader. I chose to do my project (the first of the year!) based around the song "The Approaching Curve" by Rise Against (not to be confused with Rise Against the Machine... *cough* mother *cough* ).
Sadly, there is no video, but I doubt that any video could capture the magnitude of the song. It took some time to find a proper home-grown video that had good sound quality, but here it is!



Feel free to read my essay below. It took me for ever to finally figure out a way to put it up here since Blogger would not accept the way I had it designed in Microsoft Word. Finally I just posted it to my Google docs. I've yet to publish something with my Google docs account... so, I hope this works!

Absent

I have been absent from my blog because I'm too busy trying not to be absent from school. Homework is yet again the moving and all encompassing force in my life. But, no worries, I'm going to be working on several blogs for the future. I'm still trying to get that video of my new youth room that I've been boasting about to all of my real life friends. Hopefully it will be my next entry.
