An Introductory Post

"The trick to flying is throwing yourself at the ground and missing"
-The homeless guy at Walgreen's

So, the quote I chose was from a random homeless guy I met at Walgreen's. After tossing him a dollar or two I received that gem. He was probably high, drunk, or maybe a combination of the two, but it doesn't matter. I still got a quote for my Language Arts assignment.

It doesn't really mean much at all, or have any emotional value, it just sounds complex and inspirational. You'll come to learn that about me to. I pretend to be deep and thoughtful, when in reality I'm an absolute idiot. I've learned to bluff my way through everything.
I'm sure I'll manage to find some meaning behind it at some point, but for now let's just all swoon about how inspirational it is, alright? 

I'm really struggling to find a way to connect this quote to anything of relevance. Instead, how about I give you a link to a random Wikipedia article which while reading, nod thoughtful and make comments about how insightful I am. Thanks to me, you all can be educated in Anarcho-syndicalism. I'm sure it's somehow related to homeless people. 

This man here looks kinda like that homeless fellow.

  2. I have some things to say to you, Ryan. One of which would include that I whole-heartedly agree with you being a total idiot.(Just kidding :) ) Another would be that even though your explanation has absolutely no value, the quote actually has some meaning to it. I would say that the quote represents the ability of people to make mistakes, but still recover from those mistakes and "fly" as shown in the quote by that wonderful man.

  7. I can actually connect with you in a way. I pretend i'm some philosopher when in reality i'm a teenage pseudo-intellectual. I've also met my fair share of drunk-high homeless people.

    1. THE Ryan D'Souza was quite busy with the important task of twiddling his thumbs all weekend. Somehow, this genius manages to put out such high quality work.

  11. I like how you just blatantly came out and said everything and didn't try to sugarcoat it or pretend that there was some deeper meaning. In an odd way, great job!

  12. I'm not sure how to feel about this admission: "I pretend to be deep and thoughtful, when in reality I'm an absolute idiot. I've learned to bluff my way through everything." Hmmm. One of the goals of the assignment was to explore how a particular quote relates to your world view or outlook on life - you obviously introduced yourself to the class through your writing, but a connection to the quote was missing!
