TV Ratings

     I have always had a television in my bedroom since I can remember. It seemed to be my parents way of shutting me up and putting me to sleep.My girlfriend also has a television in her bedroom and every night when we try go to to sleep she says she needs the TV on to fall asleep. It's rather sad that it has come to the fact that no one needs a night light to fall asleep anymore they need the light and noise of the television. I believe that we have a epidemic with television in the bedrooms. Pretty soon the cause of obesity and health problems aren't going to be based on "can health problems in your family" but "how many hours do you watch TV, do you have a TV in your bedroom?". Its sad  but its becoming a reality. 
   I really don't believe to strongly in the TV ratings either because they seem like they are no help. Sure I see them when i turn on the television but I don't ever think anything of them. Just because I see a L in the little corner of my TV I'm not going to say
"OH MY! bad language got to change the channel right now!"
Guaranteed no body really pays attention to them anyway they are just annoying and get in the way of what you can see.

Your Vote

In 2008 I wasn't old enough to vote for the president of the United States, but to be completely honest I could care less about who won. I lived in a town of 3,000 people I know our votes weren't going to count for anything. I also had no idea who to choose for it was all a bigger race between the "black guy" and the "war hero". They  both wanted change, but for what? I didn't know. I feel like people never really know who they are voting for since in the commercials and ads they produce that they are perfect and the other is horrible. Its just a battle of who has more money and knows how to dis a person more. I believe it is important to vote if you know the facts, and what you want. But if your going to just stand there and fill in A B C D like you would on your english  test, just stay out of the count.

Character

I believe that media and television affects our voting way to much. No body seems to really care anymore what is going on in real politics it just matters how a person looks. If they look old they seem to be too worn out. If they are more tan mabye a different race they wont fit. Their daughter is pregnant? no way not happening. It seems as though we need a picture perfect president and not an all problem solving ready one. I believe that the television has forever doomed how we will vote or even look at normal people again.


if you are pretty, then get off the stage.

Downloading Music

I don't think that there is any problem with downloading music. Yes it is free but it saves my money. I cannot afford to go out and buy a whole CD when all I want is one or two songs off the whole album. I think if they could establish Itunes where you can pay for only one song there wouldn't be such a problem. With the economy tanking i believe that downloading free music is the only way most people can afford to have music anymore

teenage music

   Sex, drugs and rock and roll ruled my parents life as teenagers. Wild hair and spandex was the amazing hit but not for me. The poster artist for my teenage years of music would be a man of tattoos and swear words. If not a man it would be a woman with shadow eye make up a wild outfit and a glamor smile. This was the portal into a whole new generation.
   As a teenager I started listening to hard rock for my early teenage years. Screaming yelling and loud drums was all that matter. Towards the middle of my teenage years I made a complete switch! I started to listen to rap music. The famous Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane ruled my Ipod. I would sit in my car and just blast the music. The bass would bounce my windows and break my speakers.
   Rap music was a complete switch from the high pitch screaming and the sharp drums. The music was all about extreme bass and swift rapping. The words were spit out so fast that you could barely understand them. I had to listen to a song three or four times to even understand what it was saying. All i cared about was to sit in my car and feel the bass pound through the seat into my back.
   The music was the best of every hang out night and random road trips. We would sit and all have a certain part that we would sing, or attempt to sing. We would sit and blast the music thinking it made us look so cool. I lost a lot of friends as a teenager and for everyone they got there favorite song dedicated to them.
   It seems like every parent grows up gets old and hates who they were when they were a kid. For me though, I know that those loud beats and crazy nights will always stick. No matter how crazy my kids will get with their music I know they are always going to have fun.
