How Many Posts Does It Take November 11, 2009

How many posts does it take to get on the Ellen Degenerous show? This is the question that I am putting out into the atmosphere. I know it will take more than around 3 which is what I have posted.
Again, I have to praise Ellen for making me laugh all alone on the couch after a long day of work. Also, today at work I over heard the ladies in the copy room talking about their love for Ellen. However in the back of my head I knew that I loved her more. As well, I was at a dinner function on sunday and me and a nice lady names Joanne hit it off by chatting about the Ellen show.  I would love to make this post longer but I have to devote my time to watching the Ellen Show.

I LOVE ELLEN October 17, 2009

In staying true to the backbone of my blog, I wanted to take this time to discuss Ellen DeGeneres.

 

There is a lot of negativity that can come from the media. Such as blog site’s who merely put others down such as the famous blogger Perez Hilton. When it comes to Love Vs. Hate. Personally, I LOVE Ellen DeGeneres and I try to surround myself with people that also adore her. It doesn’t have so much to do with the celebrities that she brings on her show but more about her as a person and how Generes she is. I have decided to dedicate my next few blogs about all the generous things that Ellen has does. So stray away if you don’t like Ellen because she brings warmth to my heart and makes me laugh every time I watch her show.   

 

Let’s talk about the games that Ellen plays. Gold-digger, is a game were contestants have a chance to win $1000 dollars. Please look to the video I have posted, this video does gold digger justice more that my words could.

Hate Vs. Love October 2, 2009

In my last blog I mentioned a PSA about breast cancer, for anyone who has not seen it this is a You Tube link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI4zkx8As34.

I am going to elaborate on my last blog about how with a click of a button the whole world can either see something you intended them to see or something you did not. A huge downfall with the growth of technology and the internet is lack of privacy. How much privacy can you actually have within today’s society? With pictures being uploaded on facebook every second your personal life can become open to the public by choice or not. Personally, I have had scares where I open my facebook page and there are pictures that I never wanted anyone to see for everyone to see. However, once uploaded on facebook even if erased or untagged they are still property of facebook. If someone like me, can stress about pictures leaking onto the internet how do celebrities cope? It has become a norm within the entertainment world for famous people to have their private life, pictures, or tapes to be publicized for all to see. Pictures or tapes of students are becoming more common in high schools. Even with the positive aspects of the internet and the good things it can bring there will always be negatives which I believe triumph the good. Private things such as 911 calls, and photos that should be kept to the people who they belong and should not be published on the internet. With the growing publications of private information becoming public it is just becoming seen as normal which of course it is not. This Blog is hate over Love.

WARNING September 25, 2009

In my last blog I talked about the death of relationships caused by increased technology. I will continue to argue my point. This past week I found myself tied even tighter to my blackberry. Yes, you might call me a hypocrite for preaching how much I hate technology, but yet I look to see if my blackberry is flashing every 5 minutes. This week I got into a misunderstanding with a friend. I blame it all on text messaging.

WARNING: text messaging should only be used for short quick messages such as, Yes or No or even I will be there in 5. If you find yourself writing long text messages that force you to send two part messages take that as a warning. The reason you can only send a certain amount of charters is to save you from miscommunication.

After texting back and forth with my friend and realizing that this was going nowhere, I took action. I picked up the phone like they used to do in the old days and had a real conversation where I could hear another voice. I might also add that when hearing the tone in his voice and realizing that maybe that was a joke it all came together that it was all just a misunderstanding. Of course, we will continue to text messaging because who has time to have long phone conversations but this time I know to take a text message with a grain of salt.

Face to Face September 18, 2009

It would make sense, that signing up for a social media class would lead to registering to Twitter and Word press.   However, do all these internet connections take away from the face to face time we were once used to? I believe so; Facebook and Twitter have justified that in today’s society people would rather connect with you through an alert on your blackberry than face to face contact. I had always decided to opt out of adding the word, “tweet” to my vocabulary but when the professor says register as a student you must obey. I have let Facebook become a part of my life with an occasional few months when I decide to withdrawal through deleting my account.  It can be seen as signing your soul over to the devil because if you don’t know you can never actually delete your facebook account but rather just deactivate. I believe it started with an email, then to a text, moved to a facebook account, then to twitter, and finally to all compilations becoming merely another alert to your phone. How much more face time can be lost before we only have relations with our phone and computer screens.
