Decent. That's the kind of writer I am. Not excellent, but not piss poor. Reflective writing is probably my strength. A notable flaw that my writing contains, but can be useful at times, is that there is the potential for myself to be overly descriptive and wordy. This can be seen here when I did a content and form writing for the Paramore - Pressure music video. Work-shopping, or peer reviewing, is really useful to writing. To me it is valuable for me to get outside input and possible ideas that I may have not have even thought about. Another viewpoint, especially when trying to decifer visual rhetoric, helps me to come up with other ideas to write about. While writing about the rhetoric of Picasso's Guernica it did not even occur to me at first to try to incorporate the ideas of cubism into my writing until after I had met with you (J.Ware) for the first draft. Discussing my ideas with others also helps me to figure out how to implement them into my writing. I find that personally it can be hard for me to start writing. But once I get an idea to write about the writing often comes fast and I end up going over the required word count. I think "good writing" really depends on what you are writing for. If you are writing for a scientific project or assignment you would probably not want to use witty comments and would probably more want to keep the excess to a minimum. However I do think that a good piece of writing should keep the interest of the reader. If the writing is dull and uninteresting to a potential reader than no one will want to read it and thus the ideas of the writer will not be conveyed and it will be in my opinion a poor piece of writing.

Above is my trusty tool for daily communication, the Samsung SCH-R500, or the Hue. I have had a cell phone since probably sometime in middle school when my mom realized it was easier to keep tabs on me if I had my own phone. My first phone was just an old black Nokia that was analog. The Hue is basically the equivalent of the Motorola Razr, except it's better. I opted for the blue front and back trim pieces but they are easily switched out for the red variant within seconds. I'm pretty hard on phones but the Hue has probably been the longest lasting most reliable phone I have owned. My phone proudly wears the battle scars of heavy usage. The cover over the charger inlet is broke off. Scrapes and gashes mark the corners of my phone from repeated drops. Sometimes numbering in the double digits per day (I'm clumsy). The front trim piece has a melted spot that I'm not quite sure where it came from. There is a scar across the front screen which currently sports a lighter shade of blue which is changeable via the options menu. On the back trim peice some of the blue has been worn away in the center of the phone reveiling the black plastic. The current wallpaper is a pic taken with the phone's fairly decent camera. The image is of an encroaching storm cloud one day while I was driving into Lincoln. I spend more time texting, something my first phone didn't have the capability of, than I do talking. I regularly hit my inbox limit of 80msgs but thanks to the auto delete feature I don't have to bother doing it manually. Despite lacking a full qwerty keyboard like some of the newer phones texting is accomplished efficiently with the mastery of T9word. The 1gb micro SD card has saved me from boredom many times heading home from work. My Subaru which lacks a radio was my main mode of transportation to and from my old job at Kawasaki. Thanks to the micro SD card and the mp3 player of the phone I was able to rock out to songs such as Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky and Nightwish - Nemo. My Hue is my main way of communicating with the people I don't necessarily see everyday.
