SEX..with mom and dad???

Alright im really sorry this blog is so late, i just out it off and procrastinated right into the next week...Anyway, im watching MTV at around four pm and Sex...With Mom and Dad is the show that is on. I surfed the tv channels a little bit before going back to this channel, i never really liked this show. But the tv options at this time are really limited, back in New York, Ellen is on at four but its not so here. So MTV is doing this new afternoons things which i am all for because it said one of the "new" shows is Room Raiders, which i LOVED. It was hilarious when it was airing probably when i was around fourteen, fifteen or sixteen.

Well this Sex episode is about a girl who had sex with one of her dads co-workers and that really roughed up their relationship. Dr. Drew is the name of the clinical pychiatrist who is helping them get through. This is a touchy feely episode, as opposed to the normal ones where the parent is completely surprised about how much their child has had sex. At one of the confessionals, the dad said that he had sex at thirteen with his best friends sister who was twenty one, now thats disturbing, not to mention..RAPE!

The beginning of the show, shows old clips of black and white tv shows where they talk about sexual issues, its awkward. The whole show is awkward, i dont like it, but thats just my opinion. It must have decent ratings or else they would have cancelled it.

Paper Topics

I think i want to write my second paper on a specific show on the travel channel or discovery channel, not really sure which show yet, and a travel/nature magazine most likely national geographic, almost positive on that. I will compare these on how the message of issues and sites around the world are portrayed and defined.

The Soothing Sim Song

I wanted to write about this song, Life in Technicolor by Coldplay, after i just recently listened to it when walking home from my late night psychology class. I had completely forgotten that I even had it on my iPod. Apparently there are two versions of this song as I found out on Youtube and the one without lyrics is the one I prefer much better. This is the original song (without lyrics on my iPod): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxmH4v0DJiQ.

I find this song so soothing just to listen to, although its short it makes me think of all sorts of things. As I listen it sparks memories of me playing Sims, it just seems like a "Sim Song" if you know what i mean. "Sims Songs" are classified, in my terms, as any song that will just soothe you as you play the game so as to allow you to just sit there and play and not even recognize that you have been playing for almost four hours. They are almost hypnotizing, but give you that good feeling like you can do anything, I dont know, its hard to explain, I hope you can understand what im trying to say.

With that said, I am pleased to hear that a new Sims will be coming out soon. Not one of those expansion pack things, but a whole other, newly designed and edited version of Sims. Im excited to see what it is like, maybe Life in Technicolor will be on it.

Environmental Savy

After searching the web for some interesting environmental websites, I found one whos purpose was especially important in my life, not that the other environmental websites arent important. The site: http://www.glu.org/, which is called Great Lakes United/ Union St. Laurent Grand Lacs (French) is an international coaltion from Canada, US and some First Nation Tribes who are dedicated to preserving the Great Lakes and the St. Laurence River. The Great Lakes and the River are north eastern bodies of water which are intertwined with Canada in addition to the US. Most of these waters are both US and Canadian waters, with international lines somewhere along the middle based on postions of the waters.

I chose this website because i go to a camp on the St. Lawrence River, also called Thousand Islands within limits, and this place is amazing. The landscaping all around is absolutely breathtaking. It is a huge river cut in half by the Canadian and US international line with thousands, no pun intended, of islands scattered everywhere you turn. You are allowed to cross this line and every year we go to Canada via a town called Ganonaque. I thinkwe do it semi-illegally but i wont get into that. Its tradition and I will remember doing this my entire life.

Over the years, we were told stories of ways that the river conservation is going downhill, whether due to foreign species like gobies invading the habitat and destroying the precious ecosystem, or just leaks of chemical contaminants. All of which is covered through the website. The goal as I stated earlier, is to preserve and restore this area, the group, Great Lakes United also, has the power to develop and promote policies protecting the species and people of the region.

I believe that these goals are effectively communicated and pursued through both in depth articles about the problems associated with certain aspects and possible solutions for them, and action plans for these problems. The website also informs you of past regulations of the government and has so much more infromation that the public could read to be informed of what is going on with the Great Lakes.

I Hear Ya, "Word"

I have never really payed attention to what words I commonly use in every day language, but if you think about it, everyone really does speak (or write/text) in a way that defines them. Everyone knows Paris Hiltons carch phrase, "thats hot." So what is mine? I really didnt know what word i used a lot, I noticed that one "word" in particular...well its actually not really a word but phrase or language of expression I guess..I dont know. The word is "haha," I noticed this when i was reading through my texts. Now dont get me wrong, I dont go walking around saying "haha" in my daily conversations. Its just in my texts.

I use haha a lot because most of the time my texts arent serious conversations, just light silly ones. Instead of using "lol" (laugh out loud... why did i put that? Who doesnt know that?!, jic), i would prefer to use haha. Lol is used so much and its really starting to get old. I use it sometimes when i say haha way too much but maybe i will make my own abbreviations for it. How about hh? No maybe not. So, my word is haha and thats all there is to it haha.

Ground Hogs Day

I am writing this due to the fact that I may be behind just a bit in blogging. I am gonna try to do this in ten minutes because Ellen is on at eleven. As you all know, I am from New York and the primetime television schedule is the same because, NC and NY are on the east coast...there is a little geography lesson if you didnt know. Anyway, becasue of this i assumed that all of the the schedule for what is on and when would be the same, well i was wrong. So, i had to figure out when shows i liked to watch during the day were on and what channels. Channels are different but the stations (not sure the correct way to put it but like ABC and NBC) are the same. So Ellen which is normally on at four in NY is on at eleven here, it seemed weird at first but now i am getting used to it.

I started watching Ellen when my friends back at home in my neighborhood always watched since it was a funny talk show. Now we have something to stay connected through while we are hundreds of miles away.

I just got back from this Psychology experiment, where i was the subject. I am not allowed to talk about what was on the test but it basically was a computer test on how i matched certain stimuli before or after a set number or letter. That part is okay to say, i am interested to find out what they are really testing becouse, as you all know, tests like that always have a hidden primary objective that the subject is not allowed to know.

Ell is on but i will continue to write. The superbowl is over and i was rooting for the Cardinals for some reason, i didnt really care to be honest. I was only watching for the commercials, my favorite was the LMAO one...i wonder what i did when i saw.

AND ellen just told me its Groundhogs Day which according to wikipedia means that we will have winter for six more weeks since the ground hog can see its shadow. Good thing too because i want to go skiing (snow skiing of course) before the winter ends on our spring break since im going back to New York. Yessss i cant wait.
