Welcome!

      Let me first start out by saying, yes, I know the Perspiring Writer is a magazine. I did not know of its existence, however, until after I had designed my blog. Great minds think alike is all I can say.

     Now to more important matters. My name is Aaron Ahlquist and I am an aspiring writer; actually I have been since twelve years old. I was always being told how great my writing was, and that I should write screenplays. (Not to brag!). But now that is exactly what I plan on doing...okay wait, not write a screenplay but a book and maintain a blog. I want to share my stories and ideas with the world, or at least friends and family until I get the ball rolling. 

     The objective of this blog is to introduce myself to the world of writing. I want to immerse myself in it, so that I may one day excel at it. The whole immersion theory, but with some books involved. Yeah, that's right, I'll be reading books, like the ones with words in them.

     If you haven't noticed already, my writing style is very schizophrenic. Some people may enjoy this type of free writing; free from grammar rules and punctuation. However, not all posts will be the same. Some will be thought-provoking and intellectual in nature (big word bonus points). Some will be funny and just plain out there. Either way, you have a lot to look forward to. My next article that I have planned, will pique the interest of many fellow cell phone users. Okay, basically I'm going to write about AT&T and T-Mobile and how they both suck, but a little more eloquently.

     Well I'm off to go live life.After every post, I will leave you some kind of quote; maybe something inspirational, funny, or random.

Sincerly,

Double A

Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats: The Case for Dogs

You're really annoying me....

Have you ever tried asking your cat to do something like sit, stay, or come, only to be met with a death stare? Of course you have, because we are all dog people. Cat people just haven't realized it yet. To cats, these requests are but minor auditory annoyances that interrupt their precious slumber, usually by a random heat source that boggles your mind as to why they haven't spontaneously combusted yet. Cats just don't care about your pithy requests, to which they have a tendency to stare into your soul with ambivalent eyes that simply say, If you don't stop irritating the hell out of me right now, I'm going to meander around your house, throwing up everywhere and meowing like I'm in pain. They then proceed to slowly turn back their head as if they are giving you the finger through ESP. A dog on the other hand is more than happy to appease your requests, with the hope of a treat in return. But if they don't get a treat, it's okay. They are more than happy to perform your tasks with valor. Who wouldn't want an animal this happy to please? 


On top of the inability to communicate even basic commands, you can't walk your cat. Doing so would be like attempting suicide and is a guaranteed trip to the hospital. You also can't train your cat, at least not any I've known. I imagine training a cat would be like playing with lawn darts, somebodies' going to lose an eye. Cats don't even like being touched half the time, as if even your presence is annoying.


Don't put up with this any longer, get a dog! A real pet, who will greet you at the door, warm your feet in bed and brighten up your day. Cats are just depressing. They are like that emo kid in high school, eating and sleeping all the time. Cats are not fun. I've had more fun with a goldfish!
