Because my blog has failed to completely stick to one category or topic over the course of this class i decided to do something cultural...
Every year in December magazines, newspapers, talk show hosts, and just about everyone and everything else, comes out with their "best and worst of 2010" lists. So I only thought it fitting that I do the same. I think over the last 12 months many interesting things have happened. Many amazing books have been published, many movies have been awful, music has continued to breed clones of other artists, and fashion has continued to change although i can't seem to keep up. The world of politics has changed dramatically and the fate of our country is up in the air. But for my list i am going to do something a little different. I am going to combine everything that has been going on and make a jumble of things, the Best and Worst of EVERYTHING 2010. I will do 10 for both best and worst. Obviously it is a bit superficial and there were things much greater and worse then what i put on my lists but....
here i go... they are not in any particular order...
BEST:
1. Food Truck Festival on Governors Island
2. Sir Paul McCartney sings "Hey Jude" with President Obama at the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the White House.
3. Bristol Palin doesn't win Dancing with the Stars.
4. The Hills finally ends!
5. LA Lakers win..AGAIN!
6. SF Giants win the World Series (thanks to Tim Lincecum)
7. The T-Rex Leech is discovered.
8. Black Holes might be our way into alternate universes, we can finally meet ET.
9. Keith Richards publishes his memoir.
10. Oprah promises to keep up her book club even after her show ends!
WORST:
1. Food truck festival on Governors Island runs out of food before i get there...
2. Bristol Palin is on dancing with the stars, Sarah Palin gets her own show.
3. Willie Nelson gets arrested for marijuana- Snoop Dogg is outraged.
4. Oprah retires!!!!
5. Gay marriage is still not legal.
6. Don't ask don't tell is not repealed.
7. Things are not looking food for Obama in 2012.
8. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt get married... AGAIN.
9. Full body scans at the airport.
10. Starbucks up's their prices by $.50, Metro Cards go up by $.25.
Well, there are my lists for 2010. Although there are many more things that could easily go up there, i had to limit myself to 10. Let's hope in 2011 people stop worrying about reality stars and begin to pay attention to things that really matter!
I enjoyed this. Though you try to be more confident in your writing. In the set up, you kind of undersell your lists, when they're really quite funny. Generally, in writing you want to avoid tendency to do that. I like the say you have duplicate entries in both lists.
