Facebook

I do have a Facebook  account, and I am on it probably once or twice a day.  I mostly use my Facebook account to post good things that have gone on in my life, sport updates, something that I found interesting on the internet, saying my birthday greetings to a friend, or I even use it as a calendar of events that are going on around me.  I never use to to verbally bash someone though, that is not right.   So many people have to be on Facebook because it fits there gossip-like personality, they have to know what is going on at all times, or to even tell others what they are going to do five minutes from now, which also gets EXTREMELY annoying.  Plus it is also dangerous, somebody could break into your house if you tell Facebook that you are "leaving for town soon, lol!!"  When I first saw Facebook I saw it as an opportunity for friends to share different things they might like so that "Friends" on Facebook can better connect to each other, that's who I think should use Facebook.

Three positives of Facebook

1.  Share good news that goes on in life.

2.  Games are available to played, even games that need friends to help out in.

3.  Acquaintances from different schools or even states can reconnect.

Three negatives of Facebook

1.  Cyber-bullying is made easier.

2.  Personal Information is readily available for anyone.

3.  Facebook accounts can be hacked easily.

A person can not truely have hundreds "friends" that they can hang out with, see everyday and still be happy to be with each day.  People on Facebook book all have acquaintances that they know and talk to once in a while.  If a person is able, they will 'friend' the whole school community, but most of the times it gets to hectic on Facebook for that many people.

Spring Break Blog!

Over spring break I really didnt do much. I golfed on Monday at the Lenawee Country Club, which was fun but I then got a MASSIVE headache from being in the sun so long and that eventually lead to the chills and me being sick for a few days.  It was not a fun start to my spring break.  It did get better though, I bowled later on that week and hung out with a few people.  My birthday was also during spring break and it was held surprisingly at the bowling alley!  That Saturday morning I had bowling league, it was my last day of bowling league also, so it was cosmic bowling and the music was blaring, pizza was handed out and before I knew it my mom comes in with my birthday cake! I was so surprised and happy that I actually was surprised for once on my birthday! I bowled a 300 and a 278 that day also ( it was 9 pin no tap, so don't tell anyone..).  That is what my spring break consisted of, all in all a good week.

Nothing Better

There is nothing better than the feeling of that pure bowling shot, perfect balance, the perfect speed, the sound of all ten bowling pins falling, the walk back to your seat like you own the bowling alley for a split second, there IS NOTHING better.  The feeling of accomplishment is great, and you can relax because that frame is complete and you can concentrate on the next frame.

My doggy after a long and hard day!! Isn't she just pathetic :P

Famous Person

If I could meet any famous person that I wanted it would probably be Chris Barnes.  He is one of the best bowlers, and I feel that if you would meet him on the side of the street he would be the same person and have the same character qualities as if he was bowling with you.  He helps out a lot with youth bowlers and gives quite a lot back to the community from what I have read.  It would be quite an honor to meet him in person.

March is Reading Month!

My favorite children is I'll Love You Forever.  It is my favorite children's book because my mom used to read it to me as I fell asleep each night, and it would always calm me down if I was having a bad day.  Going back and reading it today makes me really sad and choked up because of all the memories that are in that book for my family. 

Teenagers today just do not like to read because it is not something visibly entertaining like a video game or a computer.  You have to actually use your IMAGINATION while reading, which is something that children of today's society has lost a grasp on.  I admit that I am one of the those kids, partially because I do enjoy video games, but also because I have no time to fit reading into my busy schedule.  To get teenagers interested in reading once more I believe it would take all parents to take away game systems or buy magazines or books that are involved in what these kids play.  I know for a fact that there are books that incorporate video game characters.
