Anti pet cruelty

So we have to write with emotion or concerns in our blogs. I have been thinking of what gets to me, or something I can write about with passion, and then I remembered what I am incredibly obsessed with hating, and that my fellow bloggers, is pet cruelty.

I cannot emphasize enough how much I HATE it! Not only do people not think it is a big deal when a pet is abused, but if they were to see it they don't care. I have come across so many damn people walking their dogs and literally purposely choking them because they are walking a bit too fast or sometimes a bit too slow. Or the worst is when people put chocker collars on their dogs, and then walk them!! Helloooo! It is garunteed to choke them. That disgusts me.

<=== See what I mean!!?

Pets are supposed to be apart of people's families. I consider every single one of my pets a family member, or better yet my brother or sister. People who viciously hit their pets, choke them, kick them, abandon/neglect them, starve them, or call them names do not deserve the honor of having a bet. There is so much pet cruelty out there that it's sick. This may be graphic, but look at the sadness of pet cruelty...

Now, please don't tell me that does not bother you. Anyone, with a heart, would be crushed by seeing these pictures. I have done several projects on how pet cruelty laws should be more serious. People need to realize the crime being done to pets. I love pets just as much as I love people, and seeing them hurt breaks my heart. They don't have a voice, but us as people have the opportunity to be their voice. People should do more researching about this. It's sad to see the pictures like the ones I posted. I am sorry if you are grossed out by it, but I am a firm believer in that pets have rights, just like us, and the fact that they should not be mistreated. When it comes to this I hate people that harm animals. I am a pet lover, and I am proud of it. 

Every pet deserves this ^

Procrastination.

I am a terrible procrastinator. When it comes to homework or any other task, I will do anything to put off doing it, until the last minute that is. Why? I have no idea. I think it is some idea that I do not like “having” to do something, I rather do things on my own, things I choose to do. I know that’s awful to say, but hey, I’m not going to lie about it.

When it comes to a eight page paper, and it’s the day before its due, I will sit at my desk and stare at my computer forever. Then when I get frustrated because I can’t think of a good way to start, I will get up and do something else. For instance, I tend to clean a lot when I procrastinate. I will clean my room, clean the bathroom, or sometimes clean things that don’t need to be clean, like my books. (Weird I know).

If I don’t clean, or even sometimes after I clean when I should be typing that eight page paper, I eat. I will eat chips, cookies, sunflower seeds, or drink coffee to hopefully wake my brain up, which with my luck never works. I will stroll around the room, while eating, and look for other things to clean. Then after I get bored from that, I will force myself to sit down and begin to write. Then when I need a break I will pop up my Facebook, check out what’s on the news feed, listen to some music, look up more music, chat with some friends, then write again.

What will start at about 11am won’t be finished until about 3am. That’s not because I don’t like to write, but it’s mainly because I didn’t get to choose what I was writing about, and I felt as though I had more important things to do, like clean and eat. How dumb! To be honest, I signed in to write a blog, stared at my computer, got up and put away my shoes, grabbed a bag of pretzels and realized I was procrastinating. Then it hit me, that would be a perfect thing to blog about.

Tuition Sucks. Period

So I keep thinking of things to blog about, clearly I am not a good blogger. In fact, until this class I never really knew what a blog was. I know, pretty pathetic :(. I love to write, even more when I get to write about basically anything. That being said, I have a few things to say about tuition, and how much it sucks.

First off, everyone usually wants to go to college, and if they don't want to they know they pretty much have to in order to make it anywhere in this shitty economy. Its like you need a degree to mop a floor. What's really sad is the people who have all these degrees and honors accomplishments don't find a job until a good twenty years after they get it! Ridiculous. Sorry, I am ranting. Anyway, back to tuition.

With tuition being ridiculously EXPENSIVE!! They (idk exactly who) make it impossible to receive a good education for some people. Why does it have to be so expensive, like really. I understand you need to pay for your schooling, but the costs are outrageous. THEN, even after being able to receive a nice education and paying all this money, some of us have to feel guilt from doing so! I know I do when I see my dad stress over the online statement we get every term! It breaks my heart! </3

Again, I am not a good blogger, but I know there are a lot of people out there that stress tuition just as much as I do, if not more. I miss the days of being in eighth grade when I didn't even know what tuition was. The amount it is for people to receive a decent education is sad. Soon the economy will completely go down the drain and people will become collegeless! (Yea, I just made up that word)

Addicted.

When it comes to Google, and I really think about it, I am totally addicted. I am one of those people that use to have a habit of going to Google as soon as I loaded my Mozilla browser when I really wanted to view Facebook. That being said, I would type Facebook in Google, and it would take me to the Facebook log in link and I would click that. I had a habit of doing that for almost six months, which would annoy me but I couldn’t help but do it.

I personally feel as though Google is an amazing site; I absolutely love it. The fact that you can literally search just about anything in the world with just a few clicks is an awesome thing. Is Google excessively powerful? Absolutely! But I feel as though it is in all positive ways. When I really think about it, I am very dependent on Google and what it has to offer. Whether it’s for school purposes, exploring, or for just my own personal concerns, I use look to Google to answer all my questions, and so far, in my twenty two years, or at least as far back as I can remember, it surely has done just that!

When it comes to personal information, I admit that when I do log in for Google account my information is already saved, so I guess if someone hacks into my computer they will be able to see what I search and what I am doing, which on the contrary I do not like. But other than that I love Google and I am very able to admit I would be lost without it. I Google all my questions, and YouTube all the videos I want to see. I have never used Chrome and I have never heard of it until this class, but I am perfectly set with Google and YouTube!

Kottke Blogged Me!

Jason Kottke’s interview seemed most interesting to me with his outspoken and blunt personality. He seemed as though he did not hold anything back and said what came to his mind when asked questions. Following that, to be honest his quotes really stuck out to me; I agreed with what he said and was rather intrigued by the way he shared his ideas. Not only that, but his views of blogging and what it means to his life were incredibly appealing to me; I never knew blogging was that extreme or life changing. I would have to say his interview was an interesting learning experience for me.

His life seems interesting but at the same time very original. Which to be honest made me like him even more because it was easy to relate to him. During his interview when he stated, “Is it a good thing when you can't tell the difference between work, play, an addiction, or a hobby?” he really made me think, and that is a great question, is it a good thing? Following that, with the fact that blogging brought him to his wife and is what puts food on his table, it makes me look at blogging a whole different way.

I am going to be honest, yes I heard the term blog quit a lot, but I never really knew what it meant or what the point of it was. I didn’t take it seriously or that I needed to for that matter. Now, after reading his interview and scanning others interviews, I see blogging is an interesting, addicting, meaningful way of writing, and let’s face it, I love to write. Should I become a blogger? I am someone who is open to new things, maybe, like Jason, I could make my life out of something with blogging, then again, maybe I can just say I should and never try doing it myself. More importantly, Jason Kottke’s interview was a fun thing to read. To sum up, I thoroughly enjoyed his statement, “As in design and editing, I find the process of blogging is more about what you take away than what you leave”.
