Rant on Society

Hello again! Here is a little rant for the day. Is it just me or is the society as a whole getting slowly dumber? My heart is very sad that the youth of today is so rude, and seemingly uneducated. It makes me scared for the future when I have children. Is society going to be worse? Better? I guess what really makes me sad is the fact that people don't do anything about it. Oh they say they do, but I believe many parents have become either too lazy to do anything, or, have become so wrapped up in their own social networked lives that they don't even see whats going on. It has become very tempting in the last couple of weeks to just delete my Facebook, and go back to communicating over the phone, and actually talk to people. Things were a little less complicated back then because you didn't have to worry about, who would see what post, or who would take what the wrong way. Now-a-days it would be a stress reliever to not have a Facebook. Gone are the days where you would say something to someones face and deal with it. People have become too strong and hostile behind their keyboards. People are proud of being mean and malicious to others, but if someone does it to them then they are the victim and can't seem to understand why they would be treated that way. I still stick with my morals. Treat others how you want to be treated, respect your elders, if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything. What has happened?

Now that the rant is over, back to life :) Please take some things that I have said here and apply them to your life if needed, and help apply them to others as well. And parents, you are suppose to be monitoring your children, not becoming one of them.

Have a beautiful day! :)

New job, new routines...

So as many of you know I have started a new job. I am working at the Lego store in Downtown Disney. Now that I am working (even though I have only worked one day so far) I feel motivated to do so much more in my days. I have started to routinely work out and eat healthier foods. Hopefully, I will work my butt off (literally) and get healthier. No more fast food, and salty chips for me! The next thing on my agenda, now that I have a job, is saving up some money!!! I have many things that I need to save up for! Well I just had lots of energy and felt like doing a small blog, although I could probably drone on and on about nothing in particular. :) <3 Have a beautiful day!

Today...

Today is just another day, with a dash of boredom. So, I decided to write another post. Not about anything in particular. This past week has been a very active and fun week. On Tim's 3 days off we did quite a bit. On his first day off we picked up the new PS Vita, and it is an amazing device! Definitely something every portable game player should have!!! It's very easy to use and has so many cool features! On his second day off we went to Knott's Berry Farm. It was pretty fun, except for the ride Ghost Rider. That is the most awful ride I have ever been on! I don't mean "Oh that was a boring, lame ride." This is the ride who's slogan should be, "Ever wanted a reason to go to the chiropractor, or possibly your doctor?" I understand that it is a wooden roller coaster, but oh my goodness!! At the end of the ride I felt like all my vertebra were out of place. I will never be riding that ride ever again! Too painful! On his third day off we went to the movies. We saw the new movie Wanderlust. It was a good movie, at least I thought so. If you don't mind naked people then you may like this movie. All in all, it was a good week :) Now it's back into the swing of work (for Tim anyways). Hopefully I will be joining the working life soon! Have a beautiful day everyone!

For Everyone's Sake...

I am sure that I am not alone when I say that I am getting very tired of trying to decipher what people are saying on the internet. I may have made mistakes, but I do try my hardest not to make them. I am not saying that I have never purposely spelled things incorrectly or unnecessarily abbreviated a word that didn't need to be. I use to do that all the time, when I was in HIGH SCHOOL! I am not just speaking of the younger people, I am talking about people older than myself. It makes me sad, because I know that spelling was very important in their schooling and the internet wasn't as big when they were in school, so this really goes to show how much the internet has affected us. Many people blame their phones, but I am sure that taking the 3 extra seconds to look it over and edit a few words isn't going to harm your day. Many of the things that people type don't even mean what they are using it for. For example: ppl does not stand for people it is an abbreviation for the word participle. Don't believe me? Look it up. I would like to challenge all who read this to spell, type, and speak correctly for an entire week, when you're online, talking to friends and family, or texting. I bet not many people can do it. For the sake of our literacy and the future of literacy, take this challenge! I know that I will be.

A New Year...

With the new year, many people make resolutions to better themselves and their lives, less than half of those people follow through with what they say. My New Years resolution is to always follow through with what I say. No matter how small or big that task or promise may be, I am going to follow through. I would like to challenge all who read this to do the same, adults and children alike. If you say or promise something, follow through. This is surprisingly challenging for a lot of people! Now on with 2012, I hope it is filled with adventure!
