Blog 8

Well for my second essay I kind of in a bind of what i want to write about. I mean when you look back on your life you have stories to tell and things you want to share but you dont know where to start and how to get going. Thats what im facing right now i actually dont know what i want to write about. But after having my conference i think im gong to talk about my family. Alot of you dont know me or the type of person i may be, but i am extremely close to my family especially to my mother. She is the reason i have my personality and the reason well i am the man i am. I mean dont get me wrong my father is a huge part of my life and with football but comparing the two is like comparing black and white. Its impossible to make a comparison. So i think my second esssay will be about my family and how my mother has had a huge impact on the way i treat women and such. In a way right now im just writing what i am thinking.
I think im going to tell about the talks that me and mother have and the type of relationship we have. You know how you can always tell your mother somthing and the two of you will keep it from your father. Its like a bond thats is never spoken of but known. She has giving me so much and i know i can go to her about anything and how she will never judge me and will do everything in her power for me or my brotehr or sister. Its always us first. But i think my mother and I have a special relationship cause well my sister is my fathers baby, my brotehr is the first and oldest and thats special i am the middle child and the youngest boy. She was the middle child as well so i actually dont knwo where i am going to start or where its going to lead me. I think im going to talk about the times where its just me and my mom. Like the times i would take her to dinner, or how the conversations ill have with her over the phone while im at school. Or maybe when i go out drinking and come stumbling home drunk at 4am she will be up waiting fo rme , help me in and then make me breakfast. I dont know those are some of my ideas and i think im going to talk to her and she what she thinks.

It will be interesting to see a mother/son relationship. Mother/ daughter relationships are written about more often, and I think it will be good to hear another perspective. This will also tell us a lot about you and how/why you are the way you are.

Is your grandmother that you told us about related to your mother or your father? If she is related to your mom it would be interesting to see if her personality is similar to what we've heard about your grandmother in class!

This sounds like it will be a good essay- I think it's a really good topic.

Stories about parents are always interesting, and yours is no different. The connection between you and your mother, the middleman, middle child connection as I call it, can be correlated nicely.

Matt, I really think you do have an idea for a second essay. I agree with Diana on how we hear about alot of mother/daughter relationship but not so much mother/son relationships. We do hear about father/son relationships. So i think that would be interesting. I also noticed how you say your parents are very different from one another. maybe sit back and think on how they are similar? there has to be something there. or write about the middle child. what happens when your the middle child? etc Overall, you do have an idea just take it and run with it. Overall, i look forward to reading about some more family stories. =)
