The Internet... AHHHH!

Oh, the internet.

The internet is pretty much taking over our lives. Never before have we been able to communicate with people across the world. Sooner or later, we will probably find Jesus' email.

Ok, maybe no that drastic.

However, it is making a huge impact on our lives. I always find myself crashed on my bed, just searching away on the web. The thing that is so addicting is that you can find ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING, on the web.

And now, the dreaded monster...

MYSPACE.

The place where 30 year old men have access to viewing a 14 year old girl, pretending to be 18, posing in front of her mirror in her new bikini.

NOT KIDDING.

I had a 38 year old man invite to his pool party.

Myspace is a guilty pleasure. You can't help but sign on every 15 minutes to see if someone has commented on your page or told you you look good on your new profile picture. It's almost this confidence booster to people. To some, its a huge game to see who can have the most friends.

I get made fun of. I am called the "myspace whore". I beg to differ. People from across the world can send you friend request. You either accept them, or deny them. I don't feel like I should tell someone "No! You can't be my friend!". So, I accept pretty much anyone who seems normal and around my age.

Just because I have 952 friends, doesn't mean I'm a whore.

My little blog babies

Looking back over my blog, I have to say that I tend to be sarcastic. Not so much in a bitchy way, but in a humorous way.

I just have learned that if you can't make fun of yourself, then you suck.

Totally kidding.

But, really, if you can't make fun of yourself, you will be this huge ball of negative energy ready to explode, killing millions of innocent people.

I think I have done fairly well for myself. I missed a day where we did like 3 blogs on movie scenes, so that hurt. But, I think for the blogs I have done, I have done a decent job.

Thesis Statement

My topic is going to be about homosexuality. My thesis statement is uncertain right now. I don't want to primarily focused on gay marriage, because I feel thats all you ever read about dealing with homosexuality. There is more to it than just wanting to get married.

I hope to focus more on homosexuality in society in general. Talk about coming out and homosexuality in the cinema. I can talk about the life styles and obstacles they face in life.

Thesis Statement

My thesis statement is going to be about homosexuality. I'm not really sure what I want it to be about specificly though. I don't want it to be strictly gay marriage, because that's kind of cliche.

I would like it to be more about how homosexuality is viewed today in society. More about homosexuality in general, because there is more to the subject than just wanting to get married. I would like to focus on the lifestyles and obstacles homosexuals face in society. I can touchdown on topics such as coming out, homosexuality in the cinema, and still talk about gay marriage.

What we talk about when we talk about love.

This was definitely an interesting read. First off, Mel really confuses me throughout the story. He went from one extreme to the next. He seems that he is just a very extreme individual. I get the feeling he is very bitter towards his ex wife. We never find oout what happened between them, but I think there is some turmoil between them. He claims that he hates her, which is a very strong word. However, a lot of his attitude could just be froom the drinking. But he drinks himself into depression, and his wife asks him if he wants his pills, so maybe he has some sort of depressioon problem.

Mel believes that there is a right way and a wrong way to love. I think he is wroong there. You can't help the way you love someone, or how strong the love is. I believe Terri when she said that Ed loved her. I think he loved her so much, he didn't know hoe to control it, and it ended up making him go crazy. I also don't think that you can stop loving someone completely or forget about them. I believe you can pretty much block them out, but there will always be a piece of them with you. When you love someone, its not weasy to completely erase them. Seeing from my paretns divorce, my dad cheated on my mom. As much as she hates him, she still tells me she loves him for some strange reason. She wishes that she didn't, but after being with him since highschool, its hard to push them completely away.

Parenting Video Response

This video definitely striked something inside of me. I guess since I am majoring in Education, I will deal with a lot of this. I will learn how to cooperate with each different "categorized" child. I believe that I was the polar bear in a way. I did decent in academics, I graduated with HOPE. However, I honestly never tried. It didn't matter to me, even though it should have. I was all about being on Yearbook Staff and Art. I would never really do much homework or studying, yet I would stay after school until about 6 making sure the yearbook was coming along in order. I always considered myself one of the "artsy" kids, yet I never really had just a clique of friends. I was friends with EVERYONE. Most of my friends would end up not liking some one I was friends with.

Did you know? - Response

Holy freakin crap. I just watched a video imforming on some of the most unbelievable news I have ever heard. Just think, if Myspace was a country, it would be the 11th largest in the world. The video almost tells us that we are ahead of ourselves. They are teaching information for jobs that don't even exist that will help problems we don't even know. Our technology has advanced so much, we are pretty much DEPENDENT on it. With our computers, we are connecting with people on the other side of the world. The total number of text messages we send a day exceeds the total population of the world. It's amazing how far technology has brought us, and it's even more amazing how much further it's going to go. Technology is effecting our personal lifes. 1 out of every 8 marriages last year consisted of a couple who met online.
