My Good Friend Drake

I first met Drake about two years ago.  And just for the audiences information I am not talking about the singer of Hot Line Bling.  I can in contact with Drake through one of my mission companions who randomly lived with him at liberty square.  I also moved into liberty square but lived on the opposite side of the building from my comp and Drake.  Drake was a nice guy and through frequent interaction we have come to get to know each other quite well.  We currently have a class together and have a standing appointment of watching the NFL on sundays at his place.  So I would say we have become good friends.  Drake is also in a mcomm class where he is required to write a blog post each week.  The difference between his blogs and mine are that he has the liberty granted from his professor to write about what he darn well pleases.  This freedom allows him to write really intriguing posts on topics that range from girls to poetry.  I learned while reading his posts that he is a very cleaver writer.  This characteristic is something that I never would have know or even guessed about him.  This tidbit of information got me thing about the other hidden talents my friends might have.  It is funny to think about what those around us have the ability to do.  There are many secret gifts that I am sure my friends have that I don't know about because they are not brought up.  I mean when else would the topic of blogging come up in conversation with my buddies?  Maybe right after we talk about girls, guns, sports or girls? 

So what did I learn from reading Drakes blog that I would like to incorporate?  Well maybe its not what I learned in the content of his blog, but what I learned from him having a blog.  I know that I am friends with and surrounded by awesome people.  I mean I did hang pick my friends so they better be pretty good for me.  I want to focus on my friends hidden talents that I do not yet know about.  Ask them about the funny stuff they are involved in.  Get to know about things they would do if they had more spare time.  And I can even take this action a step further with they way I look at strangers.  We have many stereotypes in our culture that tell us what kind of people like to do what.  I want to shed those stereotypes and realize that people always are not what they appear.  Drake is a perfect example.  Who would have known that a strong, athletic, mans man would be a great blogger? 

So I invite you all to check out his blog in the link below.  His stuff really is quite funny and can be related to.  Enjoy it.
