Lastly <-Link
This page displays a journal/filter. A filter of things that the host deems necessary to have on her page. The purpose of this page for full self expression. Scrolling down the page you are able to discover all the randomness that would clutter a panic attacked brain. Either completely confusing to the untrained eye or utterly in depth to the trained mind.... I've been looking at it for ten minutes and I'm still not quite sure what to think. Boasting the number of people that have 'tasted the rainbow' for her 'comments' list this skittles character shines unique in every aspect of her blogspot. One of her blog footers shows the number of blogs within the last 30 days that contain the word skittles (her blog name). I am still not 100 percent certain that this blogger speaks English though I just found a picture of a middle aged white lady.
I liked this blogspot the best.
The insanity kept my attention! The hampster story kind of grossed me out, but the allowance of this 'payperpost' ad on her blogspot was kind of interesting and lifted an eyebrow.
Cheers!

CRIMINALS BLOGS
America's Most Wanted <-Link
This was just a brief history into some of America's most wanted. The site feature Sam Giancana, Bonnie (and Clyde), and Al Capone.
The main idea was to get a just a general understanding on the backrounds of these criminals. Each article started off talking about where they were born in the United States. Giancana in Illinois, Bonnie and Clyde in Texas, and Al Capone in New York. Then it talks about their downward spirals.
The blogspot depicts photos of these criminals. It portrays a notebook more than any of the other blog identifications. It is very focused and the posts are longer and more essay like. I think the serious tone that the blogger has taken makes a journalistic and reputable blogspot.
This blog is worth a read for the quick overview of the lives of these criminals. It's clear and concise writing take you right to the point.

BLOGGING ON OTHER'S BLOGS
Celebrity Gossip <-Link
This gossip queen is telling all thanks to her online notebook at blogspot.com. She shares all the juicy details of celebraties: including Anna-Nicole Smith's tragic death and Justin Timberlake recently turning 26 years old. Congrat J-Lake! This 30 year old Conneticut lady combines sources such as eonline.com and her own opinion to bring you the most timely celebrity gossip!
Jeannine's purpose on her dirty laundry sight is not only to dish, but to sucker in all the latest advertisement. The purpose behind this blog seems to be to give information about all the hottest celebs.
According to Yang I suppose this blogspot would fall under the educational genre. It is bringing up-to-date news. Even if it is of the lamest kind.
I think she might be trying to build her reputation by using direct quotes and sources. However, how much 'props' do Teeny bop magazines ever get?
What I thought was interesting, as well, is that there are no comments on any of her daily postings... with the exception of 2 that are from the same person, whom is obviously trying to exploit starlets, too. I am not quite sure that this is drawing the kind of fan base that would make her blogspot reputable.
I googled the creator's handle and just got about ten pages of blog sites. I don't know if that does very much for her credit.
Just my 2 cents!

WORK SUX yah yahh
Now now now
I've been a waitress, a deli clerk, a banquets employ, dishwasher, tour guide for the fisherman's hall of fame, and a waitress.
I can solidly say all suck. Don't ever do them.
I was talking to my friend Stevie this evening and she said something about some well off grad student that wrote a book... her thesis... based on an entire year of working at McDonalds. She found that the people working in type of service industry were amongst the hardest working and dedicated person's she's ever worked with...
If anyone could cue me into this book, I'd like to read it!

SUPERBOWL XVLIXXLXLLVVVIII
Superbowl Sunday went off without a hitch. We (my boyfriend and myself) attended the superbowl at the Squirrel's Nest in Hubbard County. We entered the bar and were enveloped by a hurl of cigarette smoke. Ahhh, this made my little smoker's heart skip a charred beat.
For no cover charge, the Squirrel offered us free beer everytime our team scored, free food, and all the second hand that our lungs could bare. This made me smile.
I, unfortunetly, consumed only 2 and 1/2 beers. I chose the Bears to win superbowl number XLI. We came nearing the end of the 3rd quarter so all the beer was bought by my friend Kia. She drank the last of my 3rd beer. Anyway, disappointed and unawed we walked away and went to bed too early.

BLOOD
It was a pretty good reading..... I wish I had more to say about it but I also think/know that (for me) doing is the best experience. Like on monday when we were in groups found the notebook and the blog. I thought that that was the most helpful. I am just more of a doing-learner, but I appreciated the book for its insight.
Cheers,
Abi

Living At Home
I am 21. A junior in college. A waitress. And I live at home.
It has become part of my identity. Gross.
It wasn't so bad when I was younger. I was actually best friends with my mom, but when I turned 15 I made a decision that would effect my living situation for many years to follow. I decided to be a foreign exchange student. When I returned home from my year abroad. I was more worldly, more mature, and more willing to yell at everyone. I had entered my teenage angst years at 17.... I've been living at home ever since then. With the exception of 9 months living with my friend and then going on Eurospring, but now I'm back home with my parents. I am 21. We fight and fight and fight. Then have a laugh. Then fight and fight and fight. Now, I know that they always will me with provide food, constant bitching, and a warm place to shit, shave, and sleep... They even seem happy, sometimes, to do so, however,
at what age is it inappropriate to live at home?
My living situation is starting to feel a little awkward, but between work and school there is 'seemingly' no way around the financial aspect... except of course credit cards....

You've got MAIL
YES! I finally got something in the mail for my birthday. I was worried it wouldn't happen this year, but then good old aunt guilt sunk in when I talked to her this weekend. Now i'm sporting a check for 25 dollars. Now i'm obliged to write a thank you later, pain in the ass, but I am so happy to get something from anyone but FirstMark services.
Why is it that real mail is so damn appreciated. For my birthday I did receive countless facebook comments wishing a happy one, but all just bittered my taste for the particular sender.
That sounds a bit nasty, but blogging a birthday greeting or sending an email, to me, has almost no personal connotation connected to it.
Anyway back to the mail. That is the only way that my grandma communicates with people. Everyone from bill collectors to family. I wonder if getting a card from me feels as impersonal as getting a birthday greeting via the web.
Oh hoe hum

Annual Car Cleaning Day
Yes i figured it was about time to start cleaning the old car when my driver seat was hard to find under all the crap.
I shoved it all into 3 garbage bags and went in the house to sort.
Among the list of rediscovered essentials: ipod shuffle, accounting book, and my W-2 s.
