Welcome to My New Blogging Blog
Reflections (Blog #10)
This class was pretty enjoyable! My favorite part was probably the blog posting and getting to write in a casual and personal voice since that doesn’t happen often. Most of the blogs only took like ten to twenty minutes so that was nice too I guess… As a writer I felt again that the blogs…
Processing Research: My Research Process Experience (Blog #9)
I would start with calling the research process for the final paper ‘difficult’. It took a little longer than I’d hoped, but not so much that it affected my writing process so that wasn’t the difficult part. What was hard for me was simply getting through it all. Having to wade through all kinds of…
Vacation Rotation (Blog #8)
Being back at home has been interesting. Despite not really wanting to write about it, and knowing it’s likely what others will also write about it, I still find it’s one of the few interesting things on my mind. Here at the O’Meara household there is a constant ebb and flow of noise and life.…
Purity of the Princess (Blog #7)
In The Princess and the Kiss, A Story of God’s Gift of Purity by Jennie Bishop, our titular character, the “sweet little princess,” is given a gift from God, her first kiss. It is protected by her parents, then gifted to her when she is of appropriate age. She finds no suitors that are worthy…
Climb Those Stairs As Fast As You Can (Blog #6)
Eleanor Roosevelt has been a figurehead of human rights, for following your dreams, and for trying even when the going gets tough. So I chose her quote “You must do the things you cannot do.” In a world where there are countless groups of peoples that are being held back and constrained by those with…
What am I Supposed to Write About? (Blog #5)
As I sit in a comfy chair on the second floor of Roesch Library, attempting to write this blog into existence, I struggle to focus on any possible topic I could write on. Should I blog about something personal? Say, my difficulty handling class work and projects this coming week as they all begin to…
How Does One Write About Writing? Like This! (Blog #4)
So far my writing process has been working out just fine. I usually start off thinking about whatever topic I’ll write on for a few hours total. Just constructing and putting everything together in my head. I start with how and what I want to write in my mind and work my way into the…
The Consequences of Having Sitcoms without Consequences (Blog #3)
In the article “Beauty and the Patriarchal Beast” a core examination of the various sitcoms is that, despite goading viewers to laugh at sexist remarks and comments from male main characters, the lack of repercussions for these characters and their eventual success by the end of most episodes reinforces these remarks and stereotypes. For example,…
Pacific Rim: Trying and Failing to Have a Good Female Action Lead (Blog #2)
Pacific Rim is a divisive movie to say the least. Some love it (me), and some hate it, but most people have just never seen it. It’s an over-the-top, gratuitous action movie about giant robots piloted by the saviors of humanity to fend of gargantuan monsters invading from another world. Inspired by popular Saturday morning…
It’s Me! (Blog #1)
Hello! My name is Ben O’Meara and this is my first blog post I’ve ever made! I’m a first year computer science major who’s really enjoying it here at Dayton. My hometown is Bloomington, Illinois where I lived with my three siblings and three step-siblings and went to Central Catholic High School. I’m lighthearted, funny…
