Facebook is Getting a Little Personal

I recently became friends with someone on Facebook that I just met. We were at the same event this weekend and requested each other on Facebook. I was looking at my profile and realized that it said that I was friends with him because we attended the same event. I don't think this should be put out to the public in any ways. I feel as if it is an invasion in my personal life. I don't want people knowing where I was, who I met there. I don't think anyone one. I don't know, I just feel Facebook is getting a little out of hand with everything. It's starting to feel like its going on the Myspace route. I don't want to go through that again.

LEMONS: You Are Special!

Today we had a guest speaker in class, Colin Metcalfe. I found his presentation to be very interesting. He is doing things that I have thought about doing with my life such as being able to show off my creativity in many projects. I thought the concept of GUM and LEMON magazine to be fantastic because I have never seen anything like that. LEMON magazine is so rare, I wanted to have my own copy! It was filled with amazing photography and interesting stories.
I very much enjoyed today's presentation. It got me thinking about not letting people put me down in what I want to do in life. Just like Mister Rodgers said, "You are special!" Don't let others bring you down.

Valentine's/Single Awareness Day

The media puts so much into what many people consider a hallmark holiday. Every where you go, all you see are the colors red, pink and white. There is no way of avoiding it. The flowers, the chocolates, the candies, why is it all necessary? Shouldn't love be displayed everyday of the week and not only on February 14th? It is not that I dislike this specific "holiday" it is just the fact that the media encourages it so much that makes me want to avoid it all together.

Slacking on Posts = Not Good

Stumbleupon.com is currently my favorite website to waste my time on. I come across many things such as delicious dessert recipes to try, quotes, videos, advertising. This time, the Leo Burnett website. I found it so much fun. It is simple and yet interactive. I feel they did a great job as an advertising agency in being creative with their website.
