Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy

First of all, I found this guy so funny he took such a common topic and turned it into humor which drew my attention. I really think that the key in reaching teenagers to such important topic is humor, not dirty humor but simply and easy to understand. But I agree with everything he said about how we humans take advantage of technology and use it for their needs. Even though I understand that technology is for us to use but what I mean is that we all rely on it to much that now we actually start blaming the technology for our mistake. Due to technology no matter how good it is, it caused many people to become lazy and make it run their life. Another thing is that we don't really appreciate the whole "technology" thing, i mean there has been so many cool inventions in technology. For example a new internet came out and its wireless but it runs a bit slow so most people start freaking out about it, I mean it's wireless! Anyways I think we need to be more evolved about this and understand that takes hard work to create such items plus we can't let technology control us, we need to control it.

Eccentrick Art Show 2009

[Eccentric-Final-Logo.jpg]
I honestly liked this year's art show, starting with the graffiti work near the stairways describing the art show and it's theme. At first I though that I first signed up for security, I felt that I was going to be boring just sitting there and managing a door but it was nothing like that. There was art everywhere that looked amazing, students from every grade putting the time into their art paid off. One reason why I liked this year's art show better was because they added a new feature to the show called "Hip Hop eccentric" where people from the audience were able to participate and show off their poetic minds. I also liked what was going on in tech with the dream houses, the helmets and such because this artwork wasn't only for the painting, music or videos, it was also for for the technology and construction. I liked how the staff and volunteers organized this art show to run smoothly so that everyone would get everything that they paid for. Unlike last year security was most improved this year, the doors were guarded better and teh art was protected well. Like always I enjoyed the videos, many varieties types of videos like horror, comedy, love and action. Sure there were some things that could be improved but those things were forgotten due to the excellent work of the "Eccentrick Art Show 2009"


Cell Phone Manners

Cell phones have a great impact for us today, not only is it just any other machine but it's one of most items where people can't survive without. Today many parents suffer from paying their child's phone bill because of their constant use with the cell phone and use of the minutes included in the plan. There are different types of cell phones users, there is the one who only use it for emergencies only which is actually the real reason for a cell phone. Then there also those who cannot live without their phone because they use it as a part of life to communicate and organize themselves. It's good to have a cell phone but you should know it's only a source of communication not lifestyles. If i had to create five rules for using or controlling a cell phone, my rules would be "only use your phone for emergencies", "try and not use the cell phone a lot to save money", for students or teenagers "spent a maximum amount of 150 minutes per week", "only start to text when you are certain that your minutes are down to the last few" and the last one is for all users "remember to use the cell phones with responsibility."
