Dear Danny: What's Your Favorite Website?
Well, fictional reader, I'd love to respond to your question with another question. What is the best website in the world? If you answered Newgrounds, then you are correct. Newgrounds has been my favorite website since I was 13. It's essentially a Flash community with a bunch of games, movies and art. The website features a dark orange and black theme that is perpetrated throughout the site's many pages. The Flash, Audio and Art Portals all have dark hues that work with each other to prominently display the content. The upper navigation is repeated on every page so as to connect the entire site flawlessly. All of the windows are properly aligned with each other or centered on the top and related things are proximate. That being said, Newgrounds could do better by separating advertisements from other in-site navigation links. The user system works to integrate the individual experience excellently with the website. Users can collect badges, awards, reputation and even highlight their own Flash submissions all from a custom profile. In the end, Newgrounds is a very appealing and interactive website that is a shining example for Web 2.0 capabilities. You can visit Newgrounds too at www.newgrounds.com!

Why My Blog Looks Awesome Now
I reckon my blog looks pretty darn good nowadays. There's been some changes 'round these parts, and you might just notice the difference. Were the old colors too contrasting for your taste? Bam! I updated the blog with a new orange and blue. How about that title atop the page? Bam! The title text now matches the post title text. Did the old gadgets look too overwhelming? Wabam! They're now all sleek, sexy and small.
Perhaps I have not convinced you with all my newfangled designs and whatnot. Perhaps this picture of my cat Malek in a bowtie will convince you otherwise. Perhaps you'll leave me an awesome comment about both my cat and blog. Perhaps I'll respond.

So... Why Do I Really Want a Degree from UTSA?
I could go into great depth about why I believe that education is a fundamental right and responsibility of every human being on the face of this planet, but I'll spare you my boring philosophies and outlook on life. When it comes down to it, I really want a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Anthropology from the University of Texas at San Antonio because I believe in the ability of myself and my community to make this world a better place. UTSA is on its way to becoming a tier one research university, and I feel like I am also on my way to prominence in whatever I decide to pursue after my undergraduate studies. I know we will make this world a better place, both the community and I; it is only a matter of time.
