Andrew Joseph is a junior at The Ohio State University
Marion. Andrew is majoring in communications and is very interested in learning
history and also the people who helped create it. Some visionaries in history
that impacted him the most have been the musicians mainly in the 70s like Jim
Morrison. Andrew thinks that Jim Morrison was very transcendent and it was
interesting to Andrew that he even called himself the “Lizard King”. Jim Morrison later died in Italy due to
choking on his own vomit, but that’s not why Andrew admired him, he really
liked how different he was and he didn’t care what other people thought of him.
Andrew loved that Jim Morrison created his own image. Lana De Ray is another
singer Andrew admires from the present day. She has a good idea of how America
is and how it also could be. Andrew thinks that we should learn from the past
and make that present in our future. When it comes to leaders, Andrew believes
we need leaders with futuristic visionary. He doesn’t think we need a leader
with his heads in the clouds. “I feel we need a leader who looks at what was
behind us”, Andrew says. “We need someone who looks at the past to see what will
work and what we need to fix but with that being said, we need to amplify it
without changing it dramatically too quickly.” Andrew was watching an interview
and loved it because this man said, “Life’s like an arrow, and once you shoot
you cannot go forward without going back.” This quote is something Andrew likes to live
by.

I thought that this blog was interesting and I can definitely relate to Andrew. I enjoyed the details of this blog and the message it sends. The picture and caption really sums up the blog of being unique and that really resonates with many people. I feel like the end of the blog post is abrupt and would love to see it written with a little more closure.

ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job inserting the quotes for Andrew, it flows very well and feels natural when being read. I do think there should have been more about Andrew himself in order to help us understand him.

ReplyDeleteI had never heard of that Quote "Life’s like an arrow, and once you shoot you cannot go forward without going back". It sounds very interesting and inspirational I think that is one of my favorite parts about this interview.
