writer's block
So I have my first rough draft of my major paper due this coming monday and what a great time to be experiencing writer's block. For some reason the first 4 random papers we wrote flowed really easily for me, but I'm lost at how to go about this one. I feel like I'm back in HS english when they asked us to write about random stuff that I truly didn't care about. I guess the issue I'm writing about for this current paper is fairly open and free, but so much that I don't really know where to go with it. @_@ It's supposed to be about a "community of practice" (a group of people with a shared goal; any group really) and how their identity is formed and then whether or not commodity culture (advertising world that tries to make you buy, buy, buy...) has an effect on this community's identity.
I decided to write about something fairly near and dear to my heart, my Friday Night Basketball "group." Now having done this bball ordeal for almost 4-5 years now, you'd think that I know it very well. All the people who go and what it's all about, but that's actually where I'm kinda stuck. I really don't know all the people very well except for those friends of mine who I see at school already. And I'm more like a spectator because while this bball thing may sound like an exclusive area I ball at, the games are still mearly pick-up games that would happen anywhere else on any other court. What exactly makes "Friday Night basketball" so much different from any other game at, persay, the IMA? hrmmm...
Well, that last bit kinda got my juices going again, so I think I'm going to attempt a start on my paper now. =P
