Sports Media

The modern day sports fan has access to more information about their interests than any other in history. Not only does this completely engulf their life with endless sportscenters, but they end up not having a life. Over the past two years the sports reporting world has followed in the steps of their big brothers like CNN and have modeled a broadcasting schedule that keeps people glued to their tv, pc, phone, exc. Its pretty wild when you think about it but i do have friends who you could do an intervention on because the are involved with sports like a dangerous drug. I like reading the newspaper its all you need, i mean they are overloading themselves with information (unless they are betting) is entirely useless to their existence on this planet. It is just like anything else influenced by the information revolution and superhighways of teams in everysport and each year it expands. Not saying this is a bad thing but lord have mnercy go outside and throw a football or go read a book, it almost makes you forget about what is going on around you. We all have some type of atheltic ability, though it might not be professional but i would rather be playing a sport than watch other people talk about it, for hours, then days, a week, a month then complete mayhem.

In the next year the political unrest in the middle east will be at an all time high. With Egypt in its own transfer of powers or reveloutuion this is going to send shockwaves throught the Arab world. Alot of this has to do with the mass communication systems that are at the disposal of our society today. With views and ideas able to flash around the world at the click of a button we are sure to see many other countries follow the path that egypt has. I think that it would have been more bloody and unsuccesulf if the media that leaked out of the country of the policies of police and security forces never happened. During a broadcast on the news they were talking about how rallies and groups have been organized on facebook above all things, it seems like it is stronger than the sword or something like that. It is definatley becoming harder and harder for regimes/goverbnements to cover up the treatment of there citizens without having ansewr to the rest of the world. This is a great thing to see especially in the arab world that has been dealing with a long term stand of violence on both religios and ethnic groups, hopefully it will level the playing field for everyone in the system.

Please Go Away Justin Beaver

I would love to go one day without hearing about this kid, in all honesty im sure he is a swell fellow. However, like most starchilderen brought up from comapnies like disney i can only imagine where he will be in a couple years. Porbably starring on celebrity rehab with dr.drew. This trend is worse then what i thought was the worse with the Jonas brothers who in my opinion have yet to compose a single piece of music that deserves to be placed on radio. It really pissess me off when these "bands" or "musicians" are more of a product of something and not a person making music. Its just pretty rediculous how a magazine i thought was credible and worth reading Rollingstone has hoped on the the bandwagon of these preteens who rap and sing songs about doing the dishes and staying out till ten oclock. Stupid trend with a huge target market, I mean musicians go there whole lives making ends meet, working, touring, living life tied close to there music cause they have to, they live it, and thats why they have great music. Some of the best music i have ever heard has been from artists who have only sold a small percentage of what these other retards are feeding into a larger crowd of retards. And just because your making money and have multi million dollar corporations backing you up and making your way cause you fit a target market, i mean its bullshit. I cant believe he perfomed at the grammies and just like the superbowl halftime show IT SUCKD....thank you and good night

bad Facebook

For most people they consider themselves completely different from how people see them. In todays word it is easy for people to express there own self on social sites like myspace, facebook, exc. Though this can help find people of interest and expand there views and ideas, it can also fire back on them in the manner of others judjing and people having the power to overview the ideas and lifestyle that person is over. Ive notice over the past two years on facebook people have really "cleaned up" or "restructer" there profiles as if they are being viewed by there parents. In most cases it is cause they are along with co-workers, teachers, and government agencies. I think that it is going to become more of an increasing problem when everybody want to start suing each other of privacy policies. I can see it already where people are taggimng pictures like poperazies and trying to use there name as a mean of advertising. There was a girl who i didnt even know tagging me in pictures of shoes with about thirty other people. Though it seems like this sounds outragous at first facebook will eventually pass a billion users if it hasnt already, and with it only getting more detailed with individuals that can update whenever they want its going to actually make it there own worse enemny, then what it felt like when facebook started.
