There one sees it
just a spark at first,
no… not a spark
Sparks indicate good
this is not good
but not entirely evil.
It is a part of us,
but no one likes it. 
It makes us all do crazy thing.
Clothing to fight, war, death - this affects it all.

What am I speaking of? What can make you so controlling? What can make you leave or come closer with one sentence? What can make you fight to the death? When you see it you will hate it. When you have it you won't see it. When you flash it, people will run.  
No one will stay.  Alone. Peace?  No.  But you will not fight it.  
It is them not me! I am not to blame! Forget them all! They are not worth my time! I am the best, better even! What do they know!?
 
They know.

Thinking Outside the Idiot Box

In this essay Dana Stevens, the author, has written on an article she recently read about how TV makes the watcher smarter, and questions the article. She starts by explaining how Steven Johnson, the author of the original article, says that because of the complicated story lines the viewers are now able to differentiate between many things and analyze situation in real life better. According to Dana Stevens, that statement is false. She believes that the TV we watch now-a-days is what is causing us to become vegetables. She states shows like, “…Teletubbies… [Is] instructing toddlers in the basics of vegging out” (Graff 231). Dana Stevens takes it a step further and emphasizes that normal Americans do not think of the lessons they have just learned after watching a TV-show, they simply think about the next episode and what excitement that will hold for them. She questions Steven Johnson on his take of the “TV Turnoff Week,” saying that there are fine lines when it comes down to judging what people are watching.

Personally, I believe that both Dana Stevens and Steven Johnson were correct in their analysis of television. In today’s day we are watching television and analyzing a lot of situations at the same time, but does any one person actually grab the “moral of the story?” Personally I believe that people are, subconsciously picking up tools on how to look at more than one thing, or how to put things together; however I also believe that Dana Stevens is correct when she states that people only think about the next episode because, even though I know there is a moral to all the television shows I watch, I am always excited to see what happens next on the show. If that was not the case, people would stop watching that show and actors would no longer have any jobs. Also,Teletubbies helps children develop. It teaches them to eat all of their food, to clean up after themselves, to always play nice with friends, and that sometimes the fun has to end. The evidence given by Dana Stevens was very compelling. It was thought out and well written. The only problem I have with this is when Dana Stevens states that older TV is better than new TV. I think that depends on who is writing the essay and that is a very opinionated thing to say because if you ask an older person what they like best about technology, they might say nothing, but the newer generation would have many things to say about technology today and the benefits that it posses.

Isnt it funny how
when the darkness rose
you ran away from me
you ran away from me
And i f*cking love it how you
just amazed the crowed when you
pulled a fast one over me
and made me the ENEMY!

My World.. New Song

Ever wonder what its like for me?
Ever wonder how i live so free?
Ever wonder why no one dares to bring me down?
Sitting here in my empty room
And this i promise, yes i welcome you
But first i gota gota show you
First i got, yeah yeah i gotta
First i got, yeah yeah i gotta

(guitar screetch)

Welcome you to my world
Where all the street are made of gold
Welcome you to my world
Where no body does what their told
Welcome you to my world
Where its a party every second of the day
Welcome you to my world
Welcome you to my wonderful world (yeah)

(music)

Livin' in a huge guitar
drive around in my fancy car
And every tree is like a song
It may have passes but you never move on
And all the clouds on a rainy day
Snap my fingers and they melt away
But thats not all i gotta say
First i got, yeah yeah i gotta

(same as first time)

Welcome you to my world
Where all the street are made of gold
Welcome you to my world
Where no body does what their told
Welcome you to my world
Where its a party every second of the day
Welcome you to my world
Welcome you to my wonderful world (yeah)

(music is soft)

Byt alas, i cant let you stay
there is, my dear, a price to pay
And if your hollow you'll say ok
but if not, then back is the only way
(beat drops then rises)

First i got, yeah yeah i gotta (soft/ robotic/ altered voice)
First i got, yeah yeah i gotta (louder)
First i got, yeah yeah i gotta (louder)
First i got, yeah yeah i gotta (normal)

Welcome you to my world
Where all the street are made of gold
Welcome you to my world
Where no body does what their told
Welcome you to my world
Where its a party every second of the day
Welcome you to my world
Welcome you to my wonderful world (yeah)

END!

Cyber bullying. What will you do to stop it?

Need i say more? Do the people who do it not have a conscience? Do they not have feelings? What, you are miserable so you have to make the world (literary) miserable. And the sad part is, when you are cyber bullied it can be anyone bulling you. It could be your best friend or your some random stranger. The thing that really gets me going is that they can say whatever they want to you over the internet because they cant see you, because they don’t see how much they are hurting you, because you cant really do much to them. And sometimes its not just one person. Sometimes its a lot of people just saying mean things about you. To those of you who do it, does it make you feel better? Do you not feel like a pile of shiz after you make someone else feel bad about themselves? It has honestly gotten to the point that awe have to have commercials about ending bullying.

I was cyber bulled once. it was on a not very well know web sight. This kid decided it would be a good idea to call me names and say stuff about my family. I had no idea who this kid was and i have no idea why he decided it would be funny to make fun of me. I didn’t really know what to do so i played his game and fought back. It didn’t make me feel any better, actually it made me feel the total opposite. It just made me feel dirty, evil, like i was no better than this person, like i was a bully, and i hated it.

Do you want to know the reason why i try to make friends with everyone, why i let the person that hurt me (in HS) come back again and again. I remember the pain and the hurt that i felt after this random stranger said things to me. I remember how i felt when someone i knew personally and trusted hurt me. Bother were over some sort of technology. One was through a social web sight, the other was through text messaging.

Sometimes its a group of people who bully you at school who bully you on the internet as well. Do you know why? Because no one takes a stand.

DO THE WORLD A FAVOR, END BULLYING WHERE EVER IT MAY BE. STAND UP FOR SOMEONE AND I’M SURE OTHER WILL JOIN IN TO HELP YOU. NO ONE EVER WANTS TO BE THE FIRST, BUT IF YOU ARE OTHERS WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW. (Examples: Ghandi, Martin L. King Jr., ect. [same concept]).

Send this on, and keep the message alive:

END THE CYBER BULLING. MAKE THE WORLD A HAPPIER PLACE.
