Facebook takes over.

My dear reader,
We are getting closer and closer to the day when SkyNet will become self aware. Sorry I had to get a Terminator joke in. But in all seriousness folks, social networking sites like Facebook have taken over our lives in the last few years. It all started with Myspace way back when and then Facebook popped up and became a huge hit.
I love Facebook. I love it a lot. It's a great way of keeping up with friends and family. But folks, Facebook use has become quite ridiculous. Let me explain. Today as I was checking my Newsfeed on my Home page and noticed that my underaged friend had posted and tagged herself in pictures that clearly showed her taking shots of what I suspect to be vodka. I thought she was smart. Clearly I was wrong. Of course I don't think she was deliberately attempting to make herself look stupid, but these days it seems that our desire to show the world what we are doing overpowers our brains. Somewhere along the line Facebook shut down our brain's natural filters. My fellow Internet users this kind of idiotic behavior must end. In a time when employers routinely check Facebook profiles as part of a background check, such behavior should not happen. One image could ruin your life forever. Don't be fooled by Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Their sex tapes helped them but do you really want to be a card carrying member of the People Who are Only Famous for Sex Tapes Club? Nope I didn't think so.

Being a teenager is great. I love every second of it but for the potential of our generation please stop putting every second of your life on Facebook. I really don't need to know. Nor does the rest of the world.

I'm gonna write a book and then I'll be famous

I've always played with the idea of being an author. I have even gone so far as to write a few chapters of a book. I deleted everything in a moment of frustration. I still regret that now. Anyway, I've come up with a great idea for a book. I think I'll get my friends Rachel and Katelyn to help me out (they happen to be my go-to girls on a topic like this). They have great experiences that would help out. So I'll go ahead and pitch the book and I could use some feedback.

Possible Title- The Girl's Guide to Living (the ultimate handbook for surviving girl world)
- it's a little long but books with long names seem to do well on the bestseller list

Format- Each chapter will introduce one of those unspoken rules of girl world and give examples in the form of true short stories. Includes do's and don'ts of girl society and what to do if you violate one of the rules.

So that's just a quick review of what's going through my mind. Who knows it could happen or maybe instead of a book I could just start another blog. I'll keep you posted.

Day 3

World Cup fever. There's no right way to explain it. It's that feeling you get when you see your favorite team win, or watch your favorite striker bury a goal in the corner of the net just out of the reach of the goalkeeper. It's intense and sometimes completely overwhelming to the senses. You may support one team or multiple, but either way there is always a moment that takes you in and makes you a part of the game. You become the game. It sounds silly but to us the football faithful that is our life.
World Cup fever is contagious, and it's the best kind of fever to have. Feel it. Cherish it. Then get it all over again four years from now. To be fair, it'll never really go away. A year from now you'll still be talking about that amazing goal or that surprising upset. The memories are there. They'll last until the next time 'round.

There is no cure. I wouldn't want one.
