Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Howdy again friends, it's your old pal NitroDubbz back with some reflection on my (and your) comments and feedback.

I chose this picture for a couple of reasons. Mostly because I like shrimp and crawdads. Nothing beats a nice crawdad with some butter. If you've never had them before I recommend trying crawdads with some steamed red potatoes and and corn on the cob and coarse salt. My mouth is watering now just thinking about those ugly little red mini-lobsters.

Anyways as for my comment feedback. I'll admit sometimes I don't give as good of feedback as I could. The worst feedback I give is whenever I enjoy a story a lot. If I enjoy a story, it's difficult for me to find any flaws to point out, so I usually just give praise. But praise doesn't do anything to help a writer improve, it can be a good moral booster, but ultimately constructive criticism is what allows us to grow. So if I could say one area I need to improve, it's that I need to be meaner.

Just kidding! In all seriousness though, I am a big fan of constructive criticism. I very much appreciate the corrections and critiques left in my blog comments. I think I enjoy reading criticism more than praise, I guess I'm just a masochist. 

I think my intro could be improved. I didn't realize the amount of detail people were going to go into. I don't particularly enjoy talking about myself so I figured I'd just do a book review, but I might go and explain who I am a little bit better just to be fair, since everyone else made theirs very personal.

Anyways, that's all for today folks. Until next time, I'm NitroDubbz.

Introduction for NitroDubbz

image source Hello everyone. I am Nitrodubbz, the computer engineering student. You may know me from my other blog posts, such as: "my favorite place". The coolest thing about my major is how it makes companies want to hire me. Ideally if one of these companies wanted to pay me in exchange for my brainpower and hours of my life, I would just invest almost all of my income into real-estate and collect rent to supplement my income. Hopefully I move somewhere where housing is cheap, and the Federal Reserve's interest rates stay low.  I guess I'll talk about books now. I recently re-read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It is a pretty good book. The book is absurdist, filled with contradictions now known as Catch-22's, a term coined by the novel. These contradictions exist within the well-defined rules and command structure of the USAAF, the predecessor to the Air Force of today. The point being to highlight the weaknesses of a rigid military system, and to contr...

Week 7 Story: Art Girl Rescue Part 3

"Save me, Alex!" (source) After dispatching the patrols sent on his tail, Alex made his way back towards the outskirts of the village, to the compound of Samu Al-Hayeed. Moving under the cover of darkness, Alex dispatched guards and patrols using nothing but his combat knife.  Finally, Alex reached the perimeter of Samu's compound. The sandy flats surrounding the high wall of the compound were illuminated by blinding floodlights. Machine-gun emplacements flanked the front gate, and the wall was topped by barbed wire. But Alex knew that defenses are only as strong as their weakest link. He circled the compound, staying just out of the range of the floodlights, until he came to the utility pole that supplied the compound with all of its electricity. Alex reached into his rucksack and produced a satchel charge with a timer, the last of his explosives. He climbed to the top of the utility pole and set the charge, he then made his way back outside the entrance of th...
