I always had trouble with MySpace and people getting jealous. I know the article talk about facebook, but I never had a facebook and beside MySpace is somewhat like the same thing. MySpace can make people jealous just by having people on your top ten friend’s page. If your boyfriend or your girlfriend isn't on your top of course there going to be mad and jealous and say, "Why do have that person and not me, what going on between yall that makes him/her so special." It nothing but drama. For me when I use to have a MySpace I would have best friends that were guy friends and they would have me as there number one or two. And there girlfriends would make a big deal out of it. I would even get messages from my friends girlfriends say for me to leave them alone and blah blah blah. It’s dumb, grow up. Also guys would comment my pictures and write, oh you’re beautiful! And the guy I was going out with that time will make a big deal about asking questions who is that, did you go out with him, I don’t want you talking to him no more. Really?! It is just a picture and a boy I don’t know. It not MySpace causing jealousy, but dumb insecure people.
Can MySpace have an impact on your grades?
I say yes and no. Yes because MySpace can be fun and something I can be on for hours talking to friends. For me I tell myself I’m bored already with my homework so let me jump on MySpace for a little bit to clear my mind. But I end up on MySpace for ever and I forget my work or to study. Then I fail the class. The reason I say no is because if I put my mind to work and forget about playing then I can do my work. I think it just how much you want to do your work to pass. It not MySpace fault it is our own for being lazy. Sometimes if I really want to get on MySpace but I have home work, I will set a goal for me. If I finish this much homework then I am able to get on MySpace. It helps a lot if you are a person who gets off track and just wants to have fun.

Pandora & last fm

Well last fm was okay. It could have been better but it was so confusing. They need to make easier. I tried to listen to a song and instead of playing the song it took me to a whole other place. They only cool thing about it is it play a video along with the song. Give me some more time with it and I should know how to work it sooner or later.
Pandora is so cool. I like how Pandora picks out songs that you like. The songs keep on coming one by one and I can pick thumbs up if I like it and it saves to my music or I can pick thumbs down if I don’t like it and they never show me the song again. Pandora lets you pick as many songs as you want and you can put the different types of songs into sections to separate them. And plus Pandora easy to work. I always use to watch my music video on YouTube, but Pandora has a video you can watch with the music you are listening to. With YouTube it's kind of hard because you have to make sure it’s the right music video. There can be so many different music videos about one song. Did you know that Pandora charges after you use it after 40 hours? I think that dumb if you wanted to charge some you should of charge at the beginning. That the only thing that I think I don’t like about Pandora. I really like Pandora and plan to use it a lot. I’m going to have to tell all my friends about Pandora.

At the writing center

I went to the writing center to get feedback on how good my descriptive paper was. The guy that I had was a nice person not mean at all. He gave me good feedback on my paper. He read each line and sees how we can both make it sound better. We also fix the beginning of my paper. The thing that he said was wrong with it was me writing in the link and the title. What we did was move that part to the end. It sounds much better and it goes with the ending. I would of like him to go over and tell me if I had good detail or did I need more. We never worked on detail and I think I should have asked him to go over that with me. The one thing he helped me on the most was how I should of list the five facts about Alex. At first I just had it as like a number list but then we switch it up to putting it all together, using the words first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. On my paper was a lot of miss grammar. My tutor went over with me on how we can keep the same sentence, but put different words in it to make it sound better and not so confusing. The whole secession went good and I like the writing center. They help me out a lot to make my paper better.

commenting on blogs

I liked reading other people blogs. They had some really interesting stuff to say in there blogs. But the one I liked the most was Jesse blog on the vlog he pick. {Ha that sounds funny blog and vlog ha}So Jesse talk about this man who in the hospital for being overweight. Jesse uses a lot of detail in his blog and talks about how the guy is not sad or depress. He makes fun of himself. Which to me is kind of weird? It just shows that he doesn’t care if people make fun of him. Jesse talks about how this guy is not alone that he has a wife that helps him out and is there with him in the hospital every step of the ways with his surgeries. Jesse did a really good job on this blog I was so interested that I watch the vlog for myself. My comment for Jesse was a good one. It wasn’t mean or anything it was mostly saying keep up the good work. For Caesar comment he needs to re read what he writes it gets kind of confusing. His blogs are good as well. Jessica comments my blog on online dating. Her comment was funny and what she thought about online dating. I liked that she comment my blog there was things she said that I could have add to blog.

time line

The time line we had to use was to help us on our descriptive paper. We had to break up into groups of two and help each other on making a time line. My partner helped me out a lot. The reason why he helped me out a lot is because he didn't have a vlog yet. We need to at least have five different paragraphs, with descriptive detail. The first part of the paper that we worked on was the beginning. It was the most easies part to start on. First we put the link to the video and the title. Then after that my partner started to ask me question like how did the boy look like, where was he at, how did his room look like. Basically my partner was asking me these questions to get more detail out of me and it work. I started to ramble on and on about how the boy looks from his colored eyes to what he was wearing and where he was at. After we started on the first part of the time line everything became easier thanks to my partner of course. He kept on asking me question, how did the boy sound like? Did he make a funny face when he said something? My partner really wanted detail. At one point my partner said to me, "I can image how this boy looks like we you describe him." The time line for me worked really well. It had a lot of my planning on it, not just from me but from my partner as well. The time line helped me separate five different paragraphs and what I wanted to talk about in those paragraphs without repeating myself. For my partner on the other hand, he didn't have a vlog so I wasn't able to help him as much. Instead of helping him on his paper I kind of helped him find a vlog. Over all it was great having a partner to help me with my time line because by myself I probably wouldn't know what to start with. And if my partner didn't ask me so many questions about my vlog I wouldn't have as much detail in my paper either.

first(well his) vlog

The vlog that I watch today was so interesting to me, because he so interesting. His name his Alex, he's sixteen years old, he's from England, and the vlog that I watch was his first vlog and it was good! What surprise me is that I'm interested in this vlog. I think the reason why I think he so interesting to me is because the things he wants to talk about. He talks about him being shy but since he talking to a web cam he doesn't feel that why. One thing he is going to talk about is how it is in England. I always want to know how it is in England. He's going to go over the things that England people do and their culture. Alex vlog just talk about him and what he was going to be vlogging about. I think he very good at it. He had very little mess ups and he seem confident in himself. I think Alex is going to be really good at making vlogs. Alex is scared of spiders and ha flat feet. He hates mash potatoes and the most things that I like about Alex is his eyes. They turn different colors even yellow! I think that so cool; I wish my eyes turn different colors. Alex has a very clam accent voice and he seems lay back, but at the same time fun to hang out with. I think if I were to meet Alex we would be friends. Alex reason for doing vlog is he wants to make a new fresh start for himself. He been doing vlog but on a different channel and now he doing vlog on this channel on YouTube to reintroduce himself and make new vlogs. Alex main reason for making vlogs is to entertain us. Alex is leting us take a view of his life and not most people let us do that. Alex just want to make us laugh with his videos. Alex is a very cool boy and you should watch his video which is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B74ddjyU5-M] Alex hopes we learn about him and we subscribe to him. So watch his video and comment him for he can make more and better videos.

Well first of all YouTube is big and worldwide. It blows my mind about how many people half way across the world can connect with each other. There are students in the video that are studying YouTube, and they have to make a vlog. For them it's kind of hard. One of the girls students holds a mirror up to show that she talking to web cam and that she doesn't know who she talking to. She can be talking to anybody in the world and that the most interesting thing about YouTube, which you can communicate to anyone about anything and you don't know who you're talking to. I think YouTube is so awesome. I am always on YouTube watching music videos, scary videos, clips of new movies, and dance videos. YouTube has everything to entertain you.
It would be funny to think without YouTube that life would be boring and no communication. When people do vlogs from somewhere else in the world we learn about them and where they come from. You can also communicate with them to go more depth about what you want to know or you can them to make a vlog about something you want to watch.
