Hello My Dearest Blogger Readers,
"Rain, rain, pouring rain, its back for another wet, dreary, and rainy day." Well, yes, if you all couldn't tell from either the title of this entry or looking (or being) outside, then you'll know that its, yet, another rainy fall day. Blogging can be done in the rain or shine with the hopes that you inside at your computer when doing it! Since I'm known to blog a lot about the weather, today I'll try not to blog as much about this rainy weather nor the weather report for today.
I'm happy to announce that I, after a long time of technical difficulties, I have finally posted a link to my first video blog from this past Friday, Oct. 17th. I have uploaded here--so, see the following link:

So, what exciting topics do I have to blog about today? Well, I haven't really given that much thought to it, but to instead just to free write this blog post for day. So, what's up in the "daily" life of me or in the thoughts of me to share with you all? Well, not much to report today... same old, same old. Its pretty much been the same, regular Monday routine.
This late afternoon, as I am taking the train home, sitting directly below me and over on the right side (from where I'm sitting looking at the rear of the train) is a couple, of what appear to be, moms with two young, little kids [girls] with American Girl Dolls and an American Girl Bag with, what appears to be, accessories for that ever-so popular girly fake female people. Anyways, as I get back on track, these two moms sound like that have an English (British) accent. So, my observational question today is, Are these two moms from England? And, if so, Why here in the States, taking a train from Chicago, Union Station, west towards the Downers Grove area? How they visiting friends? family? Or did they move hear from England? Also, could these two moms be friends, sisters, or some other sort of family relation? These observational questions that I pose today need to not to be answered (would be nice, but need not be); For I am just using my journalistic "mind-set" and observantly wondering these "reporter-like" questions.
In my photo and/or writing for the Torch news, in this week's issue, on the front page--on the second story, a second baseball photo that I took has appeared and been printed, published in the paper-- and on the front page! In minor Torch news, the date for this week's issue, Issue 6, reads: October 27,2008... which is next week!--an editing error made in the masthead of this week's issue of the Torch. So, what does this mean? Does this mean that you shouldn't could on the Torch for spelling or either editing, revision mistakes nor how to spell right or edit or revise right? This, plus another error that I, and many found on one of the 1st issues this semester was on the second, front page story where the Torch missed spelled the word: "second." Where is our world coming to?--can't even use spell check nor revise properly... sad, sad... We should all just learn from these publication mistakes to better edit and revise our own writing. Also, I, today, this early afternoon, after finishing up the last sentence or two and a few touch-ups to to the story, I finally sent in my newest story to the story for publication in next week's issue to the Torch's editor-in-chief/editors. So, what's next for my next story for the Torch? Well, Alex informed me that next week's issue will have a major Halloween concentration (I guess since Halloween falls on next Friday), and that I could write a brief blurb about a quick Halloween costume and if I know of any Halloween story or something... As you can see, I have to and need to double check on this next story... so I'll be getting back to you as my next story for the Torch develops. Please stay tuned to my daily blog for the up to the current, day-to-day happenings (and thoughts) of me, as they occur to date (and don't forget about my weekly blog for the week's overview of happenings, and thoughts, of me)!
Well, I better get going on my To Do list of a few "brief", last minute items for my two classes that I have tomorrow--English 100 and Physical Geography. So, there isn't that much to report today, but I found some bit to talk with you today... So as you can see that even the normalest and "regular" days can still bring a lot to talk about in a daily blog.
So with all the pouring rain that we've got today, I hope that you all find some sunshiny moments today.
Have a happy sunshiny autumnal day despite this pouring rain,
--Dan
