Week 1 Assignment 1: Creative Blog Entry

Choose an inanimate object in your workspace.Note: This could be a chair, desk, plant, pencil, or whatever catches your eye.

Write a blog about the following:

What is the story of this object?

The inanimate object in my workspace that I would like to write about, is the really nice used printer I found that I have never had a power cord for. The story of this printer is, that I found it about a year ago and fixed it; there was a card jammed into the machinery and was probably tossed because the owner could not fix it. However, there was no power cord with it and I have not taken the time to try replacing it as of yet....as a matter of fact, I’m beginning to wonder if I really ever will. Because it has been sitting here for well over 6 months and I really haven’t given it much thought at all. I mean, do I really need it and/or it is worth me getting a cord for?

Imagine it sitting next to another object of its kind but of much better or much worse quality:

What is it thinking about that other object?

If there was a better and fully functioning printer sitting next to this one, it would probably have to think that “this is the end for me!”.  It would probably say, “why on earth would this guy leave me sitting here, collecting dust for so long, if he really didn't even want to fix and use me?” or  “what an idiot, did he just get me for decoration or what?!?”... “...fix me you nut job and have a decent printer for once!”

How does it feel being compared to it?

If it could feel, it would probably be more mad at me and the new printer than anything. I mean, it is a perfectly good printer...it just needed a power cord (and to have that old card removed from the machinery)!  Maybe even some new ink...then bam...it’s on! It is not the printer’s fault there is no cord, right?!

If the printer could talk and give me advice:

“Listen, why don’t you get on the internet and look up the cost of getting a new power cord for me you idiot!”.  Then it would probably add, “it’s as simple as that you nut...quit letting me hang around collecting dust and taking up space”. “Fix me man, please!”...“I might actually be worth it!”

 

Week 1 Activity: Write your personal bio and post

                     A Little About Me, Robert Charles Griffin Jr:

    Born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas He is the single father of one teen-aged son (Robert III). After graduating from the historic high school Little Rock Central High, he went on to receive a bachelor's degree in History with a minor in Studio Arts from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 1998. However, this past year he has decided to try something new and enrolled in school at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts and started studying holistic health. Basically because it seemed as though his college degree in history and art were no more than a hobby for him...they really didn't seem to satisfy his calling and need for a higher purpose in service to others.
      Thus he is now working to become a Holistic Wellness Practitioner, specializing in Nutrition and Hypnotherapy. And in this way, He would like to humbly try his best to make the world a better place in every way that he can. Mainly, he wants to do his best to motivate, educate and support our entire community's overall well-being by spreading and promoting all positive knowledge to all he comes into contact with. He wants everyone to know that a healthier lifestyle is possible, even though no one (including and especially himself) is perfect. We all struggle day-to-day, and it is up to us all to help each other and that is what Griffin Holistic Wellness is all about...us helping one another with knowledge, love and fellowship.
