Are you getting tired of my blogs
about my cats? SHOULD I WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS TIME?
(Rhetorical question). I GUESS I WILL WRITE ABOUT ONE OF MY FAVORITE
POSSESIONS-MY GUITAR. (Dash to emphasize the last element of the
sentence). My seven string guitar to be specific, since I have a
handful of different guitars.
I bought this guitar during the fall
of my senior year of high school. I was jamming with a friend of
mine, and we decided to take a break and go to Sam Ash, a music
store. WE WANDERED AROUND, MESSING AROUND ON DIFFERENT PIANOS AND
GUITARS. THEN I SAW IT. A SEVEN STRING IBANEZ ON SALE, CHEAPER THAN
I HAD EVER SEEN ONE BEFORE. (Then and than).
I PICKED IT UP AND LOOKED AT IT FROM
ALL ANGLES AND PLAYED IT FOR AWHILE. (Simple sentence with compound
verbs connected by ands). After a few minutes I decided that I
needed it. I had been working at Arby's for about a year at this
point so I had some money saved up. I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT
USE FOR MY MONEY, HOWEVER MY MOTHER DISAGREED. (However).
SHE TRIED TO CONVINCE ME TO TAKE IT
BACK AND GET MY MONEY BACK, BUT I WAS STUBBORN (SOMETHING I AM VERY
GOOD AT DOING), AND INSISTED ON KEEPING THE GUITAR. I AM GLAD I DID.
(Long sentence followed by short sentence). This particular guitar
has gone all over the country with me and I have written many songs
on it.
A few years ago I decided the guitar
needed a paint job. I took the guitar back to Indiana over Christmas
break (I was living in Miami at the time), and painted candy cane
stripes on it. It was originally black, but now it is black and
bright red candy cane striped.
BY PAINTING IT, I MADE IT MORE UNIQUE
AND MORE A PART OF ME. (One sentence paragraph).
DO YOU HAVE ANY POSSESIONS THAT HAVE
BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR LIFE? (Real question).
