Blog 5

I've always been interested in current events as well as entertainment. The blogs I follow tend to be short and informative, giving me my dose of news without taking up too much time. The blogger I chose to mimic is Stephen Prothero. He writes for a blog called "Belief" on CNN. His writing is very to the point and he writes it in a personal column kind of way. He likes to put his opinions and critic into his writing.


Every year, from February to March, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo takes place at the Reliant Park. The numerous concerts, featuring country and pop artists almost every evening, is a notable reason for students to attend the event.  And even though most occur on school nights, they find the time to put all else aside. Last week, I was forced to resell my Bruno Mars tickets on Stubhub due to conflicts in scheduling. I had my hopes set sky high. However disappointed I am, spring break brings me a whole week of opportunity to go to the rodeo. I honestly think the whole rodeo hype is understandable, I mean the fair is like no other. I've heard many opinions where people express their disbelief at its popularity, but I do not agree.
