Facebook has become one of the world’s largest social networking cites on the internet and keeps growing every day. The website use to be open only to college students, but then started growing until high school students and everyday people could become a member. Today there are over three million people who have accounts on facebook.
Since Facebook is open to everyone now, is Facebook safe and a good place to have your personal information online? There are so many people we do not know who are also on Facebook and with the technology today, people can easily access your information even if it is set to private, which many people probably do not think about when they upload pictures and other information to the website. Is your profile truly only visible to friends when it says it is?
If you are not sure if your profile is safe would you want your thirteen year old child to have an account? I would not want my child too. MySpace use to be the social networking when I was in middle school and it has the same concept in a different format, but still allows people ages 13 and older to have an account. Even if their parents monitor what they are doing on MySpace and facebook and who they are friends with, it is still a scary place for them to have a profile. There are a lot of older men who like to have profiles and claim to be younger boys and girls that try to become there friend and then want to meet in person. This is a situation that nobody wants to be in, but is even scarier for a young boy or girl who is only 13 years old. Which is why you should not have profile until you know you can handle the responsibility that comes with it. Having an account on Facebook, you have to be responsible for your actions. Where this is inappropriate statuses or pictures that are not appropriate or even ones that show you breaking the law. A lot of high school and young college students like to post pictures of them drinking, which can lead to other people seeing them and reporting you to different people.
I think that your profile is only visible to friends, but then again technology keeps changing and people are learning how to hack into others profiles and steal information and pictures and even stalk someone. Many people in today’s society refer to people as “Creepers”. The term Creeper is a slang term that has just become popular in the past few years. When most people refer to that they are talking about someone who looks at your profile on Facebook or is always watching you and doesn’t say anything.
Many people do use facebook and most of the people wouldn’t be considered creepers. Facebook is an excellent way to keep in touch with friends and family. Since graduating from high school, facebook has been the only communication I have had with some of my friends since they go to other schools and it is hard to talk on the phone or video chat over Skype. If we didn’t have facebook I truly wonder how we would stay in contact with friends that go to other schools.
I know it has been done in the past before computers were invented and Facebook and Skype were ever imagined, but still how do we all rely on one website to feel like we are important to see one little notification pop up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Most people don’t sit at their computers all day staring at facebook just waiting for something to happen, but what if there are people who do? Will facebook make them have social issues when they become younger or during their life right then. It is one thing if you are doing work and leave facebook open, because many students do that because they are talking with friends on facebook chat. I know this cannot be healthy for them, but what can we do about it? We cannot make them get off of facebook and do work, or instead of sitting there going outside and getting fresh air or working out. In our parents generation facebook and computers did not exist and it was a whole different world to them. I sometimes wonder if all the computers, facebook accounts, iPods, cell phones, blackberries and other items that are like this were taken away from my generation if we would be able to survive without them? I really think my generation would not be able to handle it.
Another item that we take for granted is Microsoft Word. As I sit here and type this blog about facebook and what the world would be like without it, I started to think what our world would be like without the other technological devices we have and Microsoft word is one that almost every college student uses daily. We forget how much simpler life is when we have the privilege to type papers and not have to hand write them. It is really sad to see that my generation does not know how to write in cursive. I learned this when we took the SAT’s last fall and spring because when you take the SAT’s or ACT’s you have to write in cursive a statement saying you did not cheat and then sign your name. You would have been surprised to see how many students agreed with one another that they do not remember how to write in cursive. This is a simple task that we learned back in elementary school, but since we do everything on the computer now, we have no need for cursive except for rare occasions. Which makes us less appreciative of what we have in our world now and how we need to appreciate the little things in life. No matter what we decide to put on facebook, or what technology we use, we still need to remember what is important to us and not let anyone influence what we believe in.

Balloon Boy and Hokie Football
October 15, 2009 seemed to be a normal day for everyone until that afternoon when Falcon Heene was believed to be floating high in the clouds in a homemade balloon made by his family. In the end the boy was not in the balloon which floated high in the sky for about two and a half hours before finally landing in California a far cry from where it started in Colorado. The boy was eventually found hiding in his home and everyone was safe in the end. I know this can be scary for anyone, but his boy had the whole country paying attention to him and his family for a short amount of time today , but you have to consider several different things when you thing about this incident. The first one is why did the parents want to make this balloon? Why didn’t the parents know where their son was? And how do you not make sure your child is not in the balloon?
I don’t know all the answers because I am not his mother, and the rest of the world only knows what the newspapers and other news websites report for us to read. Now authorities believe that the whole even was a hoax and are going file charges against the family. The whole situation is really dumb because there is no need for that family to create a homemade balloon for no reason.
In the days sense the actual launching of the balloon many sites are reported that the whole even was not real and they just did it to get attention and they did. On yahoo.com I saw where the father pitched an idea to TLC trying to get a reality show out of the incident, one that would be similar to “Jon and Kate plus 8”. The network passes on the show idea, but if you thought your child was in the balloon, wouldn’t you as parent want to make sure that your child is safe before trying to get a reality show out of it. Now that this has been reported the entire event seems to be even more of a hoax, considering the family just wanted to land a reality show just for the money.
No matter what happens with a family, trying to fake something like this can never turn out to be good. I would never in a million years put my children in this situation. If the family needs money, there are alternative options than to fake that your son is floating away in the sky. No matter what the situation is, endangering you children whether it is by sending up in a balloon to float around in the sky or using them to land a reality TV show, it is always going to have a bad ending.
Virginia Tech Football
Virginia Tech was ranked fourth in the nation until Saturday night when the nineteenth ranked team in the nation Georgia Tech beat them with a score of 28-23. Virginia Tech has played really well in some games, and not so well during other games. If Virginia Tech had won, they would have stood a good chance at staying ranked fourth in the nation, but with their loss this weekend, Tech moved down into the number 15 spot in the AP poll. Virginia Tech has played decent teams this season, but in the Atlantic Coast Conference there is no guarantee who is going to show up at the game and win. Just because a team is ranked higher than the other, does not always mean the higher ranked team will win. You can look at Virginia Tech this weekend to see that.
As a student at Virginia Tech, we are suppose to support our team and I do support Virginia Tech, but is Virginia Tech really a national Championship team? The way the Hokies play certain games, you would think that they have never played football before. Then for other games, they look like the team has been playing together for years. I will always support the Hokies, but if you truly watch them play then you can see that they have good games, and then they have downright ugly games.
Virginia Tech can be a national championship team if they play every game like the Miami game. Tech has to have a consistent offense and defense to prove to the country that they can be contenders for the national championship. In my opinion, tech needs to play harder teams in different conferences to open the season up with and prove to everyone that they can handle teams from the Southern eastern conference. Tech played Alabama this year at the beginning of the season and lost to them, but it was a game that the team could come back from Atlanta and improve on what they did wrong. Then after that game the team prevailed and came to win every other game until this past weekend. Every Hokie fan this weekend knew that if Tech did not do well, it would be bad news for Tech and where they will be ranked the following week. The fans were right because Tech sank 11 spots after their five point loss to Georgia Tech.
No matter what who Virginia Tech plays people are always going to say that they will never be contenders for a national championship, but nobody will ever know that for sure. Just because other schools in different conferences have won many national championships. Tech will eventually win a national championship, but we will never know when. Every team has there up and downs, or up and down seasons. No matter what a team does a true fan will support them through there up and downs. Virginia Tech may not win a National championship this year, but they will have a successful rest of the season to go along with the other wins in during the first half of the season. The only way to improve the rest of the season is to see where you have difficulty and Virginia Tech has learned where they are having difficulty and will be able to improve for the next game during practice and the rest of the season will hopefully be as successful as the first half without any more losses.

Miley Cyrus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUr2ggLlhI&feature=related- VMA Performance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSeHd7Ht1cE Miley’s performance on Good Morning America
Have you ever looked up to a singer and admired them so much until, one day they perform somewhere and blow you away with how they perform in a way that is unthinkable for them? Miley Cyrus is one performer that has disappointed not only me but many girls that are younger with her most recent performance at the Video Music Awards.
The Video Music Awards (VMA’s) is hosted by MTV in New York City each year. During the awards show, many artists are asked to perform live in front of the other guest. This past year is mostly known for the Kanye West and Taylor Swift incident, but many people also saw Miley Cyrus perform her latest single hit “Party in the USA”.
I did not personally see the performance live on TV when the award show aired, but I did have the opportunity to watch on the internet with the help of YouTube. In the link above you can see the performance and how, to me it seems that she is trying to portray a different image than everyone sees her as.
Miley Cyrus is known for her show, Hannah Montana which airs on Disney Channel and for her movie that is based off of her TV show, the Hannah Montana movie. If you have not seen her show, it is portraying a girl who lives a double life; she is the normal high school girl during the day, and then at night she becomes the teen pop sensation, Hannah Montana.
Most Disney shows are the same and have the same values instilled into each show. The Hannah Montana show is a family oriented show, and I thought that Miley Cyrus would have kept her performances in the same mind set, even though she is getting older. I know that she is trying to attract the older crowd, but she still has a lot of little girls that look up to her, especially after her movie just came out.
In her performance during the VMA’s, Miley’s performance did not impress me, and it did not impress many other people. I understand that she wants to move forward with her career towards a different age group, but I thought she could have done it a different way during her VMA performance.
After watching the video, I was surprised how her performance was set up. The VMA’s are mostly for older teens, and young adults, children can still watch the performances, whether they are live, or online on YouTube. During her performance Miley climbs on top of a cart that has a metal pole attached to it, which at first reminded me of a stripper pole, and many people that I have talked to about the video. After she climbs on to the cart she proceeds to dance on the pole and slid down it. It seemed as if she was trying to include some form of sexuality into her performance, which does not seem to be the same image she has on her TV show and in her movie.
In her performance, it seems that Miley is trying to say it is okay for children to look up to her, to act that way and try to be sexual, even if they are only seven or eight years old. Her performance may not persuade younger girls, or boys to follow her, but it will be more effective on the older teens and young adults.
In her performance Miley is making a statement that she is not some teen pop sensation that can only create songs and performances that little girls. This performance made it clear that Miley is growing up and changing the way she performs and who she wants her audience to be. She may have enjoyed performing, mostly for little children, but as time goes on everyone needs a change in pace and Miley’s first change was this performance. If you compare this performance to others, we can clearly see a difference as to who she wants the audience to be. If you compare her VMA performances this past fall to her performance on Good Morning American in August. She may have had different stage, but there still was the sexuality that was in the performance from the VMA’s. One thing that was different there was no pole in the Good morning America show. Could she not have had it because this performance was going to be on National TV, which many Americans watch as they get ready for work, and did not want to have to explain why it was put into her dance routine for the performance? We will probably never know if she had always planned to have the pole in the dance routine from the beginning or just for the Video Music Awards.
Miley Cyrus has the respect of so many people, it would be sad for her to lose it over one performance form the Video Music Awards from her younger fans who look up to her, but then it can also increase the amount people like her. Older teens probably liked the performance because she performed the way they like to see people dance. No matter what Miley does, people are always going to support her, and there are always going to be people who cannot stand her and the way she acts. It is like this for every singer, performer, and actor, but it comes with the job, so they have to learn how to deal with the negative criticism and the positive comments people give them in support of what they are doing.
Miley’s Video Music Award performance, may not have been the best idea, or it could be the best performance she has had, but it is not up to one person to decide what they think about her. We each have own opinions and have the right to support someone or not to support them and they only way you can form your opinion in a fair way is to give the person equal opportunities, and have an open mind.

Fall Break and Jon & Kate Plus 8
It is the middle of October and most college students have adjusted back or are getting settled into the life of a college student. Every student misses the random days that are scheduled off by their school system and every national holiday that you use to get out of school. In college there are no days that are scheduled off besides major holiday breaks, fall break, and at Virginia Tech, University Remembrance for the April 16 shootings.
Fall break is the one day a year that students get off to have a long weekend, and simply to take a break from school work. Virginia Tech’s fall break is only one day long and this year it is October 9, 2009. There is nothing wrong with fall break being only one day long because it means that Thanksgiving break is longer, compared to other schools that only get Wednesday through Friday off. It is nice to have an entire week off that week because when we come back from break we only have about a week and a half left in the semester.
Fall Break is suppose to be a time when we can go home for a long weekend and not have to worry about anything. This year at Virginia Tech the university scheduled a home football game the weekend of fall break, which has made every single student consider if they want to go home or stay at school and go to the game. Many people I know decided to go home this weekend and opted to stay next weekend for the game against Boston College. It may not seem like a big deal to most people but it is to freshmen who have been here for six weeks and this is their first opportunity to go home.
I do not know who scheduled this, but it is dumb to have a home football game the same weekend that fall break is. Shouldn’t students be allowed to have the choice to go home for a long weekend and not have to decide between going home and staying for the game? I think that as students we should not have to decide and the university should better to accommodate both events but on different weekends. Or the university could have at least scheduled it for a game that was away, for example this weekend when Virginia Tech was playing at Duke.
It is not fair to make students pick what they want to do, even if it is only an extra day in the weekend, but an extra day off goes a long way. I know that students have to make this decision every weekend when there is a home game, but during the regular home games, we do not have every single Friday off. Then again there is the whole process of trying to get a ticket out of the student lottery system. Most freshmen that I know of still have not won a ticket out of the lottery and there are only a few more home games.
I do not blame anyone for making fall break and a home football game on the same weekend, because I do not know why they scheduled it like this, but for all we know there could have been several different reasons. We do not know why it is setup the way it is, but all we can do is go with the flow of things and stay here for the game or go home for fall break.
Jon & Kate Plus 8
Everybody knows about the Gosselin family. If you do not know them, then I do not know where you have been. This use to be a family of eight children and two parents, which is now a family with eight children and parents who are getting divorced and going through a hard time right now.
If you looked at almost every tabloid or major news website and googled there names, you would find countless of articles about their family. They are a special family because they have two sets of multiples. They have a set of twin girls who are nine and a set of sextuplets- three girls, and three boys- who are five years old.
This is a rare occurrence having so many children at one time, so TLC gave them a reality show called Jon and Kate plus 8. There show has been very successful during the time it has been on TV allowing the children to have experiences that other children will never get.
The show drew millions of viewers each week until the ratings started to drop just this past fall. This past year for the family has been hard and it is very complicated as to where the show is now and how it is not very popular anymore.
The show began to go downhill with speculation of Jon and Kate’s marriage beginning to fall apart. It wasn’t soon after that, Jon was accused of having an affair and then apparently many people became involved in the whole situation causing Jon and Kate to eventually file for divorce.
This is a sad situation the children are in. They each have 7 other siblings and only one mom and dad, and if they didn’t spend enough time with each parent when they were together, they are going to have even less time with one parent because they will not be living with them full time. I use to think I knew what was best for the children and what they should do about the show, but shouldn’t the parents make the correct decision for their children about whether or not they should cancel the show? I think they should and as of what I just read in one tabloid online, they show has halted shooting immediately pending on what the parents decide.
Jon and Kate have not made this easy. If you look online everyday there is something new that comes out about how one or the other is treating each other with no respect and how they can’t get along. Earlier I read that Jon had emptied their joint bank account and only left 1,000 dollars for Kate, The kids have a separate account they cannot touch.
This is a sad situation and I do not know what is the best for the kids, but Jon and Kate need to hurry up and find a solution so there children will not be all over the internet about how their parents are bad and need to set good examples for them.

They each have 7 other siblings and only one mom and dad, and if they didn’t spend enough time with each parent when they were together, they are going to have even less time with one parent because they will not be living with them full time. I use to think I knew what was best for the children and what they should do about the show, but shouldn’t the parents make the correct decision for their children about whether or not they should cancel the show? I think they should and as of what I just read in one tabloid online, they show has halted shooting immediately pending on what the parents decide.
Jon and Kate have not made this easy. If you look online everyday there is something new that comes out about how one or the other is treating each other with no respect and how they can’t get along. Earlier I read that Jon had emptied their joint bank account and only left 1,000 dollars for Kate, The kids have a separate account they cannot touch.
This is a sad situation and I do not know what is the best for the kids, but Jon and Kate need to hurry up and find a solution so there children will not be all over the internet about how their parents are bad and need to set good examples for them.
