Twitter...

Twitter is STUPID. In my opinion. Sorry Twitter fans. From my understanding, it is just making statuses. What's the point? That leads me to another point with statuses. Facebook statuses. Those are also very stupid. I mean, who cares what you are doing, if you are my friend, call me and see what I am doing. Don't talk to me about what I did because you saw it on my Facebook status. I mean what's this generation going to come to? Here is a good status, "Going to my wedding, and the the reception, ill be on tomorrow." Or, "Going to the hospital, my wife is in labor." I would not doubt that this is what it could come to...

Youtube Mythbusters

Since Mythbusters is doing a You tube special show soon... i figured i would post a video that shows one of the members getting hit by a paintball gun they put together. It's not just any paintball gun though, it shoots thousands and thousands all at one time. it is kind of a neat video. Enjoy

Blog Prompt 1:Fred First

As I was skimming through the different bloggers that were given for this blog prompt, none of them really appealed to me until I clicked on Fred First. His idea for starting a blog was pretty interesting. Before writing his first blog, his grandmother passed away. He thought about all of the stories that she had over her lifetime. So a main motivation to start his blog was to share his stories with his family.
This interview appealed to me because I can relate to it. My Brother-in-law, Sister, and Nephew all live in South Carolina. My sister set up a blog so my family can stay updated on their family. My nephew is the first grandchild of our family so this is also a big deal to watch him grow. It makes it a little easier on us since we only get to see them a handful of times each year.
