Great US of A: Home of the Lies!?

I find it rather difficult to think of something to write for this blog since I am still confused and shocked about what i just finished watching. America itself has been forced to change through its dominating government system that swears that it is here to make good changes and is "doing the right thing for this country." There is no wonder why we believe all the garbage the president feeds us about Iraq and 9/11. We have been trained from the moment we entered a classroom to believe what your elders tell you. Cousins in Honduras are more educationally advanced than we are and they haven't even gone into their high school years. We have been trained to be gullible zombies. Is there any shock why we are STUPID compared to other countries? Personally I find this very sad. We are so "big and bad" yet the majority of its people can't read correctly?! How much influence does the media have? A LOT! Whether we like to believe it or not ... it has a lot of influence. This doesn't have to come from the news; it includes everything from television channels to radio stations to magazines and billboard ads. They all hypnotize us to suggest what we should wear, what to believe or what we should think. Teens are constantly being "hinted" that they should act a certain way from what they see in the T.V. ... Take a little kid for example, they may think its okay to act like their favorite t.v. star since they are put in front of the t.v. since the age of 2. They can kick and punch a little kid because the power rangers did it. Its just another way for America to start training their future soldiers. The media is very influencial but not accurate... How much of what they tell us is reliable? is it true? is it exagerated to make us think a certain way? Are they ommiting certain things from us? The media is controlled by the government .. and they wouldn't want someone to be better than they are ... now would they? .. i don't think so.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG NEWBIES!

WELCOME TO THE SPRING SEMESTER OF 2008. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T REALIZED THAT NATASHA IS A TOUGH TEACHER.... OPEN YOUR EYES. ITS NOT A JOKE BUT IT IS WORTH IT AT THE END. SHES TOUGH BUT FAIR AND IT WILL HELP YOU OUT IN THE END. YOU'LL SEE... YOU'LL REGRET NOT TAKING HER FOR 1101. AAANNNYYWAAAYYYSS....

BLOGS.... AT FIRST THE ONLY REASON WHY I HAD A BLOG WAS TO BE "IN" WITH THE REST OF MY FRIENDS. BACK THEN I HAD A XANGA WHICH WAS BASICALLY THE SAME THING; IT WAS AN ONLINE JOURNAL IN WHICH I COULD EXPRESS MY INNER THOUGHTS AND HAVE MY CLOSESTS FRIENDS READ IT AND COMMENT MY ENTRIES. ALTHOUGH IM NOT TOO EXCITED ABOUT HAVING A BLOG AGAIN (CAUSE I ALWAYS FORGET TO WRITE THEM BEFORE THE DEADLINE), I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE BACK IN ENC WITH TASHA BABY.


BLOGS ARE INTERESTING SINCE NOW WE HAVE THE OPTION TO UPLOAD VIDEOS AND PICTURES. ONLINE JOURNALS AREN'T ONLY A PLACE TO STORE YOUR THOUGHTS BUT NOW ITS A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN STORE YOUR FAVORITE IMAGES AND VIDEOS AS WELL. (I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY COOL). HAVING A BLOG HELPED ME EXPRESS MYSELF TO MY FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY ON THOSE FRUSTRATING DAYS WHERE I HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE TRYING TO EXPRESS MYSELF. WRITING ON BLOGS WAS MY WAY TO LET OUT MY FRUSTRATION AND MY CURRENT THOUGHTS ABOUT A PARTICULAR EVENT, BOYFRIEND, OR ISSUE. I AM A VERY OPEN PERSON. I USUALLY DON'T HIDE THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT ANYTHING SO THATS WHY I HAVE MY SETTING TO EVERYONE. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH HAVING THE REST OF MY PEERS READ MY JOURNALS. I INVITE THEM TO. SEE THE WORLD BEHIND MY EYES. ITS QUITE INTERESTING IF YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK. WRITTING A BLOG ISN'T BOUT ANSWERING A PROMPT ... ITS ABOUT LETTING YOUR FINGERS DO THE TALKING AND SEE WHERE IT MAY LEAD YOU. YOU MAY COME UP WITH SOMETHING GOOD. WRITE DOWN IDEAS. CREATE A STORY. WRITE WHAT YOU THINK. I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE BLOG (ALWAYS HAVE).

THIS HAS BEEN FUN. TIL THE NEXT TIME....
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! MWAH HA HA HA
