Update

So every once in a while, I will be posting random little pics and things like that, that I find interesting. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

My name is Sarah, And I'm addicted to Google

So it seems that in today's world, everyone is addicted to Google. My own addiction to Google has probably gotten to the point where I need to start an support group for it. To explain that a little so it doesn't sound so awkward, I mean I constantly use Google through out the day in one way or another.  To start off, I use Google Chrome on my computer, Google map anything (even though I have a GPS), have a Gmail account, and don't even get me started on how many time I use Google to search something through out a day. 

To say that Google is taking over people's lives is an understatement. I don't think I could make it through a day without using it. But there are also those who are concerned about the lack of privacy on the internet. In my opinion, if someone is so concerned about their privacy on the internet, then they should not put sensitive or personal information on the internet. They should keep their issues to themselves on Facebook, or make sure they have strict privacy settings on the websites they use. 

The Addictions of a College Student

     So I'm going to assume that most of you have Facebook, because let's face it almost everyone and their pets have a Facebook page. This website has become a lot of people's, including myself, addiction. One of the first things I do in the morning is check my Facebook... Everyone wants to know what is going on in everyone else's lives. It is pretty much equivalent to going to your high school or family reunion every day.

     Why has Facebook become such a major part of everyone's daily lives? There are those people who are addicted to games, others who use it to tell every aspect of their lives to the general public, some who use it to connect to bands and find new music (because who actually uses myspace these days?), people who use it in the way it was meant (to actually communicate with friends or family), and then there are those people who even use it to promote their own businesses. No matter what person you are, the odds are you spend multiple hours a day checking your Facebook. 

     It is nearly impossible in today's world to avoid referencing Facebook or being on it at least once through out a day. And with each app or upgrade to Facebook, it is more than likely that Facebook is going to end up like Google and be a major factor in the lives of everyone over the age of 4. So if you don't currently have Facebook, or do, you might as well sit back, grab your computer, and enjoy the ride.

In the life of a blogger

While reading Tiffany Brown's interview about her passion for blogging, I found it extremely interesting that her blog has brought her so many different opportunities in her career. I was extremely impressed to see that it allowed her to be able to speak at SXSW (South by South West), which is a major alternative lifestyle and music festival that is held in Texas every year. 


In the interview she also mentioned that she does a lot of time searching topics for her blog. So when she is writing a blog post, she really does her research and does not just post misleading facts or opinions about her subjects. This shows great responsibility in her writing. 


Overall, I think that everyone should show that much dedication in their blogging and do it for not only their own pleasure, but to inform others.

Inspirations of a new kind

    So there are few people that inspire me in this world, however one of the most influential would be Oli Sykes. Since I was 13 I have increasingly become intrigued and a part of the culture within music. I am the kind of person who always finds it interesting to learn about new bands, spend WAY to much money on concerts, and spends WAY too much time listening to music or talking to my friends about it. 


    So over the past year and a half, I have become insanely in love with the musical talents of Bring Me The Horizon, and with this I have learned the stories behind the band and random interesting facts about them... Through this Oli has gained my attention, whether it be his looks or everything he does. 


    What inspires me most about him all started with the simple effort of him getting tattoos. Some people may think that with all of his tattoos, he will never be able to go out and be taken seriously in the world. His actual reason for allowing himself to give in to his love of tattoos is so he will never be able to go out and have the "normal" lifestyle. This has allowed/forced him to go out and live his dream of being the lead singer of a band, start his own clothing brand, and do everything he can aspires to do with his life


    If getting tattoos, is what everyone needs to force themselves to follow their dreams, then I will personally take everyone to go get a tattoo and will get my next one. Everyone should go after their dreams and strive to be everything they want to be in life.

Welp, lets get this started...

So, we will see how this goes... One thing is certain, we will learn way too much about each other and this proably not be successful...
