I actually have some new things to write about

But I'm going to choose not to.

Instead I am going to post this opinion column article from the New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/08/opinion/08brooks.html?src=me&ref=general

It lays out the most important reasons I choose history over other majors. While I do regret not trying to push myself into biology or further to medical school, I don't regret learning how articulate my thoughts properly.  This, the bachelor's degree in history and my well spoken and fairly well written articulation, is my greatest luxury. If I went back to college, I would do the same thing all over again.

Let me get back to the article.

The writer talks in length about 'The Big Shaggy.' No, it's not that old shaggin' wagon you used to drive. Nor is it the time you got laid in that god awful monstrosity you call transportation. It refers to strong human emotion that supplants years or reasoning. Personally, I think this is how you tell a man's worth. Oddly enough, I, also, believe you can't judge someone negatively on it. (This is a story for another time) Their wasn't enough space for the writer to properly express his thoughts about 'The Big Shaggy' in that limited space. But this article represents what I have done and what I want to do.

I have improved my writing skills through the humanities.

I want to articulate my story and thoughts that I keep inside me. Sometimes, I don't have the comparisons and the words to articulate myself properly. I hope to one day piece together my story in order to provide the world with something fruitful.
