Lose person to person contact

We are gradually loosing the art of person to person communication. With the onslaught of internet and cell phone availability we are taking that personal touch out of our daily lives. If this keeps up we may loose that art of compasion and understanding towards those not related to us. In this day and age we really can not afford to lose the defining something that makes us human. Without our compasion and empathetic abilities we become no better than the animals that run on instinct alone.

Too much time and money!

People across the globe struggle everyday trying to feed and care for their families. Here and other places across the world people are wasteing time and money playing at another life on top of the one God gave them. These people are spending money that could be used to help feed those individuals who are unable to afford even the most basic item of hygiene. When is enough, enough? Children starve everyday but people will spend hundreds and thousands of dollars playing a virtual reality game that just mimmics life. Are we just a bunch of unfeeling pleasure seeking fools that would rather play than lend a hand to help others in need? At some point we need to take a look in the mirror and ask ourselves: "What Would Jesus Do?"

The Good, the Bad, and the Internet

There on the television, in your magazine and newspaper, and everywhere you look on the internet. They are the advertisments that try to entice you to spend your hard earned cash on things you do and don't need. What can you do with a 6 months supply of weed begone if you don't have a lawn? See these are the questions you must ask yourself before making purchases. If you don't need it to survive then why waste money on it. Why would you need four of the same ring. You know the ones they sell on QVC that look really nice on the screen but when you get them home they turn a funky color after onlu wearing them once. Even though the ad says you can't live without something does not mean it's true. If you know someone who impulse shops please get them some help. It's just like gambling and alcohol. It's an addiction that can be kicked with some intervention and professional help.

Linking hole!

When searching the web people fine sites that lead them to other sites and then bog them down with entirely too much information. You're left wonder what to use, what's truly accurate and what's just a bunch of conjecture on the sites part. When will enough be enough? At what point do we say: "That's it"? At one point in time there was a deficit of information to be found on any particular subject but in today's society there is a surplus of information that just boggles the mind. Like a black hole in space that sucks up all the light; the links found at every turn sucks the mind of coherent thought and leaves a person lost in the dark.

What's in a BLOG?

A blog by any other name would still be a waste of space. Whether writing a blog or reading a blog there are a couple of questions you must ask yourself. Am I learning anything useful or am I being entertained? If you answer no to these then you must admit to yourself that you are wasting your time and the writer is wasting space. If you must have something to read try picking up a book, it could change your life.

Television

At what point should we stop watching television and start getting out of the house? We spend years of our lives watching T.V. and never seem to notice their gone. Although there are some very informative shows out there for consumption it's still television. Instead of watching life go by maybe we as a people should advicate living life. Even though that cooking show is riviting how about you get up and cook what they're showing you. If that's too much just try to get someone in the family do it. Anything is possible if you just put your mind to it. If this is not an incentive enough to get you moving think on this: life is too short to be letting it pass you by and you must set a good example for the generations that will follow you.

Choices completed

Ah, to be free of one only to get trampled by another. Like Clarissa Dalloway, I chose to take this class and advanced comp, now I must live with my decisions. It sucks but hey I can't blame anyone but myself. I'm not saying it wasn't intereasting like the novel was interesting but I can't wait for spring break and a little R & R. Maybe after a week of doing nothing I'll be ready to go when we get back. Who knows, I may have a lousy time on break and can't wait for class to start again. Only time will tell. Have a lovely semester everyone.
