My name is Anthony

                My name is Anthony Shackelford and I am an individual. I am not a color or a number. I am a person. I hate when I have bad hair days. I hate it because if my hair looks bad then my entire day is ruined. I hate when I wake up to find that my favorite pair of jeans isn’t in my closet so I can’t wear them. I hate when people pretend they know me when they have no clue. I hate when people complain when their lives are perfect. I hate when teachers place me into a category with other people.  Because, like I said before, I am an individual.
                No one likes to be put into categories. I know I don’t like to. I have been called a prep, an emo, and other various cliques. I am an INDIVIDUAL. I am not a prep, I am not an emo; I am not whatever you think I am.  I have tons of friends and I become closer to them every day. Well, the true friends anyway.
                I am loved by many people, and hated by some. But that’s ok with me. I realize I will not be liked by everyone but I also realize that it’s ok.  I love most people and I am the type of person to sit beside the “loser” at the lunch table. I love to sing even though I really can’t. I hate exercising so I try to keep that to a bare minimum. My name is Anthony Shackelford and I am an individual. I love life, but sometimes I hate it. I am a confusing person and sometimes I get annoying but it’s the only way I can function. I do stupid stuff when I get angry but it’s better than hitting someone. I am an individual, And it’s fine with me.

Let's do a blog!

A blog is a series of frequently updated posts about a certain topic, used to inform. Many blogs are usually personal, “how do I feel about this” posts. Blogs usually are centered on one area or topic, or something that interest you.  Some people like to have a blog just for fun, some need it for work, and some, like me, need it to pass a class in high school. Personally I feel that a blog is a waste of life. That’s because I am lazy and have no goals.  That is a joke my fellow readers!  To me, a blog is an online journal! Except, with a journal you have privacy. But with a blog you have no privacy because it is online for the world to see unless you are a world-wide loser and no one likes you.  Then it is exactly like a journal because no one will read it anyways! Everyone has a reason for doing a blog. Like I said, some do it for fun, some do it for work, and some do it because they're being graded on it and theirl teacher is a nag! (She doesn’t think she is a nag though. Clearly she is delusional.)  According to internet guru Dave Weinberger: “blogs are a growing force in commerce because they provide a more powerful voice to individuals.”
