Bad Act Jack

This blog has changed gears from Photography class, to the disimilarities between the place I was before to the place I am now, and now this blog will turn into general observations about life. Here goes...

My first question. Why are professional athletes such bad actors?

I feel this is a valid inquiry and to me it needs answering. I feel like anyone should be able to act. Isn't it as simple as someone just being themself, maybe reading or memorizing some lines and them reciting them, as yourself. I understand it is hard for millionaires who are the best in their chosen sports to take time out of their busy off-season schedule to make and endorsement or be apart of a movie, but honestly it's cringeworthy. Hearing an athlete stumble through lines in something that feels as unnatural as hearing Glenn Beck announce that he's gay is tough for me, the viewer. I don't know how to rectify this situation other than ask that they just stop, stop selling cell-phone service or pizzas. I understand this is a advertising technique that is supposed to be persuasive, but it's not. I could care less how Dan Marino takes care of his hemroids. Here is a picture of what I am talking about

Lance Armstrong, just stop it (not cancer prevention or cycling, just boner pill pushing)

This was previously a blog for a photography class I took at ACU. Basically my pictures sucked and really wanted to have my voice heard, because what I have to say means something, compared to the million other blogs. I have recently moved from the humble and slightly racist town of Abilene, TX to become a guppy in the gigantic pond known as LA. We live in a suburb of LA, called Inglewood. This brings me to the goal of my and your time spent here. I plan to point out the differences from a specific, small West Texas town to one of the five biggest cities in the world.

The first difference I would like to inform my loyal readers of is pretty classic, the race card. According to a 2000 census of our government, 78% of A-town residents were white, In Inglewood, 19%. Now, I'm no math whiz, but to me that sounds a little different. These differences will be depicted by this interracial fist pound
