I don't agree with Klosterman when he says that the internet has taken over television and traditional print media. If this was the case then magazines or newspapers wouldn't be printed as much. I understand that things are so much easier when you have the internet and that is how people get their news but who doesn't like to read a good sports section in the mornings. People have a hard time trusting the internet because anyone can post whatever they want. But I do also find it hard to trust the newspapers as well. The major thing with the internet is google, shopping, facebook, and twitter. All are major websites used daily! As for television, there are tons of television shows on and if you miss one the good thing about internet is you could always watch a show online if you weren't able to watch the night it was aired.

It's finals week!

With break right around the corner, thats all anyone could think about, not finals, not studying, but christmas and presents and going home to family! We get 1 whole month to do nothing but spend time with friends and family. But in order to get the joys of christmas break we have to go through that week of finals, which we all know in reality is 2 weeks of finals due to studying the week before. so load up the coffee pots, get the pencils and dig your head in your books cause this week is going to be a rough one! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!! and a Happy New Year!!

With Christmas right around the corner, 13 nieces and nephews, 5 brothers and sisters, mom and dad, and my pup Griffey I am stressssed to the max! Money here money there present here present there. Finding time to shop!! I know i'm not the only one dealing with the stressed of Christmas. We all just need to take a few steps back and realize the actual meaning of Christmas and we need to cheer up and be happy. For some reason i've been telling myself that for the past couple weeks!! It will all be worth it in the end! :)

Kim Kardashian

Look at the "happy" couple. Kim Kardashian and beau Kris Humphress make me sick! With her 5 million dollar ring, billion dollar wedding and then 70 something days later their divorce. She is the 2011 version of Paris Hilton. I used to like Kim, she was probably one of my favorites about 2-3 years ago. Now that she is an attention whore i can't even look at her, not to mention one of my friends showed me her sex tape and that was just awkward. This world has so much more stuff to worry about than her 72 day marriage.

If I had to choose one film to represent our generation like Star Wars did back then I would definitely have to say Twilight. Although Twilight made its debut in 2008 it became in instant success. Like Star Wars theres the guy the girls wish they had and the guys wish they were. Luke Skywalker and Edward Cullen play totally different characters but are similar in many ways. Then theres always a villain, Darth Vader is Twilights Laurant, Victoria, and James. Both movies became instant successes and I truly believe Twilight will be around for many many years, just as Star Wars is, and i'm sure always will be.

How real is reality television? The perception of reality TV is that it's suppose to be real, people being followed around by cameras living normal life. Take the real world for example, like Chuck Klosterman used in his story. There is 7 strangers chosen to live in a house together for the summer, how real can you be? I don't believe reality TV, I enjoy watching it and unfortunately totally addicted to it but I still don't think its real. In reality TV we are always expecting someone to be the villain. There's always the bluntly honest and disrespectful person. There is always a black person, and there is always an emotional gay guy. That is what we expect from reality TV. Oh as well as DRAMA and SEX!! There is your typical reality show!
