I have been writing a lot lately...just an observation. I know my last blog was about facebook, but I feel it is important to address something that has just recently come to my attention. Have you heard of google+? For my sake I hope not. I haven't actually tried it yet, but from what I am hearing it is a new social network that could have the potential of taking over facebook. Here is why I am against it. Facebook is the norm now, everyone has gotten use to the fact that it is the social network to use. If we let this change then we are gonna have to start all over again. Everyone starts with their friends at 0 and you have to rebuild that network of people. Some of these people took 5 or 6 years to get a facebook. If google+ starts taking over these people, based on the math, probably won't get a google+ acount until 2020. It is an exponential thing, after google+ gets old these people will die before they ever get to the thing after google+. I say we let google keep the money they have, and reject them getting any more by not joining. I don't understand why google doesn't just combine with facebook. Obviously, google wants to be the most powerful thing on the web, but they should just calm down a little bit and let other people do things. If they combine with facebook it would be like Luke joining Darth Vader. They would rule the internet galaxy as google and son. I am not saying that facebook is the son of google...it just fit. But, who knows maybe the guy who invented google is the real father of Mark Zuckerberg. I am also not saying that google is like the dark side. Although, I do feel that google is the Wal-Mart of the web, except without the trailer trash and horrible smells.
I have heard that google+ offers the cleanliness that facebook did originally, that is nice, but how long until it is just as cluttered as facebook is now, or myspace was when everyone stopped using it. I know for certain that people are never satisfied. If google+ takes over it is just a matter of time before everyone gets sick of them. My point being, just stay on facebook. Find a way to write them about what you don't like about facebook, and if enough people write them about that problem I am sure they will change it. If they don't change it they are stupid and they deserve to be taken over. I personally do not think that the facebook team is stupid, they are quite smart. Also, I don't really want to lose the stability I have with facebook just because a greedy company is smart enough to do things that facebook isn't doing right now. Give facebook some time, they are working on some pretty cool stuff. I am certain when they are done they will start changing things to make it better...hopefully.
I mentioned Wal-Mart earlier. I had an experience there that I told myself I was going to talk about, but silly me I forgot until I was reminded of it. I went to Wal-Mart with some people and we got some of those fruit smoothie things that are in the back of the store in the juice fridge isle thingy. By the way this isn't the important part of the story I am just prefacing the events that happened right after this. So we checked out and walked out the automatic doors then WHAM! I stepped in a piece of gum. I hate people that are that lazy. It was literally 2 feet from a trash can. Gum chewers are much like cigarette smokers when it comes to littering. The difference is that when I step on gum in 100+ degree weather it sticks all up in the grooves of my shoes. I really wish that I had magical powers, or that I could curse people. I would make it so people get exactly what they deserve. In this case I would make it so that all the gum chewers that spit out their gum all over the sidewalk and in the street would step in gum every step they took for the next month. I would hope that after that they would learn their lesson. Unfortunately, some people think that if something happens to them they need to get even with the rest of the world. So they do whatever it was that was done to them they do back to everyone else. School is where this happens the most. I don't know how many times a teacher has told me "we had to suffer through this in school, and now so do you." Wow you are a great educator. How did you get this job, by beating your children mercilessly because you got the belt as a child? It surprises me how few educators are actually trying to make things better for the students. Most of them are just bitter angry people that somehow got into college and couldn't really perform in the area that they were studying so they decided to teach, and because of tenure they continue to ruin students for the rest of their career. If there is one thing that I have learned from 5 years of college it is that the education system doesn't teach students how to think for themselves and learn. It teaches them how to memorize a bunch of crap and forget it really fast. After 4-8 years of doing this the student leaves passionless, and with their teachers opinions and ideals burned into their minds. And the trend will just continue until we get a white president that makes education better. Having a black one hasn't really done anything. Maybe now that we have had a black president that was just as crappy as all the ones before him, people will realize we need to start voting for a president that will change things for the better. Instead of someone that will make them feel that americans aren't racist. But we all know that we are. The only reason a black man became president is because the electoral college finally outnumbered white people with black people during the election. I feel that if we are gonna have a black man as president it should be Michael Clarke Duncan. I would do anything that man told me to, and so would every country. If you don't know who that is, look him up and you will agree. There is no way a hispanic man is getting into office. There would be no end to immigration if that happened. The white house would have no vacant rooms because all his "family" would be living there, and no actual american could understand him when he addressed the country. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Seriously, if someone wants me to talk about something let me know. I would love to address any questions that people have.
Later
