Interlude: T.V.

Today when I got to Mr. Smiths class I decided it was about time for me to post a blog that actually had some more thought into it. I decided to log on to my Tech High Titans Start Page and read some of my RSS feeds. On the Santa Rosa Press Democrat site there was an article on a poll that was taken asking if parents should raise their children without television.

As I predicted it turned out that more people said no they should not. Some of the thoughts of the people who agreed with the question included "While there are claims that television watching can have educational benefits and at times serve a useful purpose. There is certainly no harm in at least strongly restricting your child's viewing, if not disbanding with the lounge room babysitter altogether," "Now children sit zoned to the magnetic box. They are bombarded with violence and profanity, and unrealistic portrayals of life. All of this is combined with brainwashing commercials produced by multi million dollar corporations that are only interested in the quick buck." These might be some good thoughts, but it seems like me that these parents just aren't teaching their children right from wrong. Some of the thoughts of the people who were against this said things like "People who disallow their children accessibility to television do them no service. This is not to say that television should be any child's main source of entertainment or education, that television is a proper 'babysitter', or that the parents should not monitor and control what programming IS accessible for their little ones. This is simply not acceptable either. Television's 'boob tube' tag has been transformed through quality programming and media information" and "Television can be a valuable tool to parents when it is used in a way that allows it to entertain or educate, not baby-sit or become the source of primary interaction of the group. To deny children the benefits of television is outdated and overbearing."

If you ask me, I would say that parents should allow their children to watch television, but not allow them to become dependent on it.

All Nite (Don't Stop) (Low End Specialists Radio Edit)

UPDATE:I am excited to finally begin the whole "making music videos" thing again. It has been quite sometime since I last sat down, wrote a decent script, and filmed it. I managed to stay up the other night and flesh out and finish a rough script that will be turning into a music video tomorrow!

UPDATE:Life is great, things have been going my way for awhile now, it was nice for a change. Finally found someone I can connect with on more than one level. Someone who makes me smile and laugh.

UPDATE:
La La La I don't think I can hear you
You say what you don't say
Speaking through your eyes not through your mouth
Trust me, you want me happy
Please me and I promise to do the same too
Truth is my best friend, lies are my enemies
I know you know better but I can't help but wonder
La La La I can hear you oh so well
Never connected this way with another
Wore my heart on my sleeve
Now I think that you have taken it to wear on yours
I feel so odd for having given it up
It is something that I can't help
like the embers in the fire, you are always burning
La La La I won't leave you side
Me, Myself, or I
I guess I'll try and stay by you too...

Thanks 4 reading what I have to say.

Come Back To Me

So once again here I am writing blogs. We started a project known as the "Digital Footprints" project, in which we are required to use the internet to the best of our abilities and showcase our work, and our potential.

"Five years from now,
what will happen when you type your name into Google?
What does it mean if nothing comes up?
Five years from now,
what will be more important,
your credentials or your body of work?"

For me if you can type your name into Google and nothing pops up then I believe you are safe but also that you are not out there publishing your work online and showing what your capable of. For me, my body of work will be more important than my credentials. I am hoping to ave a career in the film industry, and what really matters is what you can show you have done, and not just a bunch of degrees.
This project is just lifting up off the ground and I think with a little more time it will become more interesting, and a lot of fun.

Thanks 4 reading what I have to say.
