Well, we made it. The 5th blog post. I'd like to thank the loyal fans. S/O to you, Pat. I know I've had some fun with these posts but this one is gonna be real, because creativity isn't something to make fun of. It's how the entire concept of everything we do and know came to existence. I didn't ever think I was creative until I started writing and designing, so thanks to JQ for teaching me something I finally feel capable of doing on my own.
When I started with this project I had no intention of learning anything. The plan was to bullshit through it like I did everything else in my classes. Adderall and Vyvanse have propelled me to a solid 2.2 GPA after just one semester, and I hadn't planned on changing what I had started. But something weird happend. All of a sudden when I started writing, I became immersed. I just kinda, do it. Hours felt like minutes, just like that genius guy with too long of a name to pronounce. (chick-sen-me-high?)
Now, Don't get me wrong. I'm no Twain. If I was I might not even be here in Lawrence, writing a blog post that MAYBE 30 people will read before blogger takes down for not being read enough. And I'm find with that. Researching Al Spalding and how the game of baseball works has only made me better, and that's all that matters to me. Al taught me that things that seem boring can actually be fun if you put passion towards it. Baseball has always been a pastime for me, but it was Al who looked at me and said, "Scott, you do have talent. It'll take hard work, but yeah, you are ACTUALLY good at something." (He didn't actually say that. He's dead, geniuses.)
All and all, this has been byfar my favorite project in English. I've learned about myself and how creativity has helped me become who I am. Also, Al Spalding is an American hero. Thanks, America.
