Greetings, my name Craig Harris Kocay (the first). I am a junior here at TCU, but my graduation date is uncertain. Today I plan to major in economics with a mathematics minor, however, I have already changed my mind four times over the past two years so nothing is set in stone. This is driving my parents insane. I played soccer, ran track, and was class president in high school, yet my favorite accomplishments (outside of school of coarse) come from my video game achievements.
I chose to take this writing coarse honestly because of the requirements. I am excited though, to see how I can progress as a writer (as I am sure no matter my career it will involve writing), and to write with more professionalism. It would also be nice to discover more about the candidates of this year, while learning campaign strategies, because someday I might end up exploring a career in politics.
I do most of my writing via text messages to my girlfriend against my will. However from time to time I get bored and end up writing sports arguments on a website owned by Sports Illustrated. My writing is probably not God's gift to men and women, but I don't despise it either. To me, my writing almost always seems casual and conversational rather than formal (which I am hoping to change through this class).
Politics is a great passion of mine. I could argue for hours and hours about current, past, and future presidents. I considered running for city council for my hometown, after discovering it only takes about three thousand votes to secure a spot. I am concerned with all levels of politics, and I am mostly interested in the economic decisions of each candidate. By the way, I love Ron Paul.
My argument shown throughout my blog, is that I can't take life to seriously. I honestly don't remember the background this blog will show up on; probably because I took fifteen seconds to pick it out. I am for displaying facts, results, and objectivity rather than art, morals, and subjectivity. I argue that those things can be found on your own, not through the beliefs of others. I don't find that this shows a lack of concern but rather stresses the importance on the worthy points. I feel it is great to be open minded and explore all the world has to offer, and laugh as much as possible along the way.
I have read and I understand the class syllabus. I accept the terms with all my heart.

Hey Craig. I just read your blog, and just wanted to respond by saying that I, just like you, am taking this class because it is a requirement, but that I also wish to become a more professional writer. I feel like most of my writing is also conversational and informal, and that is something that I would like to change. I also would like to learn more about the presidential candidates because I feel that I am voting the party- not the issues. I would also like to say that I like your argument of not taking life too seriously. That is something that I really want to do; I frequently stress too much about the little things in life and need to learn that those things don't deserve so much attention and so much of my time.
Whats up man. You sound pretty smart, I agree with most of what you have said here. But one thing caught my eye..."against your will", I find this hard to believe.
