Crackberry World

I think it is amazing how much of the world now has blackberries and what can be done on a blackberry. I bought my first blackberry two years ago because I worked at Sprint, but I mainly used the phone for calls and texting. Now I use my blackberry for almost everything, including scheduling, email, and website usage. I feel like I almost could not live with out it. Everywhere I go there are people on their blackberries and many large companies require that their employees own a blackberry. Sometimes I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing. We depend on an electronic device to control our life, and in the past it was not like this. I think that blackberries and other advanced technologies have taken away from communication, and socialization. It is easier to text someone then pick up the phone and call them. Just a thought on the blackberry world, and how amazed I am with it.

Death of celebrities

It has recently caught my attention how many celebrities have been passing away recently. Although many of the deaths have been drug related, I have always still wondered if the media has had an influence on the deaths. I truly feel that people who are famous and are constantly being followed, live a much more difficult life then people think. They have little privacy, they always have to look good and they are always being followed. Although they might make the big bucks, I think the pressure puts a toll on them in the end. It is very sad that these young lives have been taken but it really seems like the media is affecting their deaths.

Half Naked Ads

I have recently noticed that many ads in magazines, as well as many commericals and music videos portray women and men that are half naked. The women in the videos are barely wearing any clothes and there is always a sexual message. I think this further proves the audience subject and what people want to see and what they want to watch. I am not a huge fan of music videos but when I watch them, I find it odd how the women are dressed and sometimes the actions in the videos are uncomfortable. Its surprising because before it used to just be rap videos that portrayed women like this, but now country videos, pop videos and rock videos are like this as well. Even perfume and cologne ads are all of sexual nature these days. I am not sure why is and why audiences are so interested in this.

Top video clips of the month

I'm not sure if anyone watches Boston FOX 25 in the morning, but I know that it has always been part of morning routine to wake up and watch the VB along with the rest of the crew. Not only do I feel like they are reliable, but I also am able to start my day off with my laughs. At the end of every month VB shows the top funniest clips/ sayings of the month and I really thought this months were priceless. One of the top five clips of the month was actually my favorite choice. The clip was of Sarah Palin talking during the Tea Party speech. She brought up the current presidency and how it has been going. She starting out by talking about all the hope and change that was thrown our during the presidental speeches and she states "Hows that hopey changey thing doing for ya." I am a huge fan of Sarah Palin and I was so proud to hear her say this because it is exactly what many of us are thinking. You can not always promise people that things will change, but you actually have to show change and that has not been done. This funny quote definetely beat the other quotes of the month, but I always enjoy hearing the video clips of the month.

Channel surfing

Has anyone noticed that there has been nothing tv shows on tv anymore. When I turn on my tv on a Saturday morning I noticed that there are no television shows to watch on tv, many of it is just infomertials and advertisent tv. EVen throughout the day it seems that the same shows are always on. The shows that are on also always repeats and nothing new is ever on. I do know alot of this has to do with the writers strike, but this is beginning to become quite insane. Whenever I turn the tv on the shows that are on are judge judy or one of those judge shows, price is right, the news, CSI, Law and Order. It does not seem like that have been accomodating to many audiences lately. I was wondering if I was was the only one that noticed this changed and if anyone knows why television is like this now.
