? has Myspace & Youtube Helped or Hurt our society


Are you addicted to any of these? i bet you are or have been. but don't worry, there are millions right with you that can't fight the urge either.. people spend hours on myspace and facebook mixing the right quote and picture combinations that will define what and who they are right at that moment in life.. Now on one hand it provides the public an opportunity to keep in touch with one an other.. as people move around the world and grow it's important to keep in touch, and find each other when necessary. very positive.. But on the other hand it can cast a fence of ignorance too high for us to see what's really important. such as who to vote for. why is the economy bad. how do i become a better person?. while these types questions are floating around, your looking at ass on myspace.. There are 70 million users on ms and fb.. 70% of the people on ms are 25+. and 50% of the people on fb are 25+.. what in the hell are so many adults locked on these sites for?.. if you spend more than 1 hour looking at pictures and quotes from yourself or other people, a feeling of uselessness should definitely come over you past that time. my dissatisfaction with the 25+ age bracket has less to do with age it's self, and more to do with the fact that you could be doing so much more with yourself.. but i could be wrong. maybe you can't.. Job employers before and after interviews, and now even during your shift are checking all three of these sites to make sure your not drinking on weekends with your pants at your ankles. these sites can be personal public relations nightmares, and that seems to never register in the minds of the majority of people using them.. The demand for these sites is going to another level. right now it costs $175,000/per day to advertise on the homepage of youtube and that is going up, which means so is the audience.. So just keep in mind when your administering these beasts the reach and impact that they truly have.. your house or bedroom may not seem that big. but the reach of that $20 internet cord is WORLDWIDE.. so present yourselves efficiently and accordingly... what do you think?

? would you ever have Plastic Surgery or a Cosmetic procedure

Think about this question carefully because whether your answer is yes or no both need to be re-thought.. there are 2 types of plastic surgery you can have (that I know of anyway), one is reconstructive and the other is cosmetic. The reconstructive type of surgery is meant for breast cancer patients, people in serious accidents, basically anything that is not expected.. now as far as cosmetic this type is the reason for the creation of ‘niptuck’ which is a clear indication of how our society is addicted to physical appearance.. now I’m no activist against cosmetic procedures, Lord knows I love me some big breast.. but the reasoning for which it is being done is a true cause for concern. it’s not worth losing a life for better looks.. Last year alone there were 11.7 million cosmetic procedures performed in the U.S. adding up to $ 13.2 billion. and men make up 10% of all cosmetic procedures (such pretty boys).. over the next 7 years doctors predict that the number of cosmetic procedures will quadruple.. that means roughly 50 million procedures because people want to improve what they look like physically. am I the only one who finds that odd? I guess you can call me old school in the philosophy of cosmetics. what God has given you is all you need in this world, and anyone who has true confidence knows that looks are overrated. charisma and swagger are the hardest things to obtain.. Now that may be easy for me to say because I’m a guy and women have a lot more competition to deal with. but ladies the big breasts and big asses don’t always get the man. and if it does maybe you should re-consider the places you’re attending.. The way you cut your hair to match your face and head shape. the cut of your clothes in relation to your positive physical attributes. the way you speak and carry yourself. these are the things that make up for what you THINK your lacking, and will get you recognition everytime.. and if your not doing it to be noticed, and your just trying to get rid of some extra skin. get your ass to the gym!.. But this topic is just something for you to think about. just remember that the doctor performing the surgery is more important than even the procedure it’s self. so research him/her thoroughly before the operation.. and if you do decide that you want to have plastic surgery to improve yourself. I’m not mad at ya.. I’ll still holla when I see you... what do you think?

? do you Fear or Embrace older age

Why is it that we cringe at the thought of getting older instead of thinking about the great things that age brings.. I thought of this question when i turned 25 this past summer, and began reflecting on what i had and hadn't accomplished in my life up to this point.. i began to panic a bit while focusing on what i hadn't done, but i wasn't giving myself enough credit for what i have accomplished.. i had to realize that life isn't a sprint it's a marathon and if you plan on making something of yourself then you have to pace yourself.. Now being young is a great time in everyone's life, and anyone who knows me knows i think children are the greatest thing on earth.. but compared to when i was walking on south beach in Miami, shirtless with a drink in my hand and conversating with beautiful women. you can have playtime and naptime back everytime.. In my opinion the prime of your life is when your 30-55 years of age.. that's when you have a wife/husband. kids. home. a Bentley(at least i'll have a Bentley) all the things that make up the great American dream.. With age your body does begin to break down though.. remember when you were a kid and it seemed like you could do just about anything physically and your body would never break.. that's your body looking out for you early in life.. but you have to maintain it later for success. by beginning a healthy lifestyle early you can help your body along this journey.. and i don't know about ya'll but i'm gonna keep my six pack till i'm 70.. This world isn't mastered by knowledge. it's mastered by experience because that's the greatest teacher ever.. that's why we love our grandparents and cherish them because of the wisdom they bestow.. there are only so many history books a person can read to grasp a historcal moment from the past.. So we all should embrace getting older, don't cringe.. it's an honor to wake up every morning and deal with the bullshit life brings as far as i'm concerned.. just remember this if nothing else.. that life is like wine, and it gets better with time (i didn't mean for that to rhyme) (damn, i did it again)... what do you think?

? does our Society condition us to always staying Busy

"I'm so damn busy".. "I don't have time for anything".. yes you do.. you make time for what you want to make time for.. there are a lot of people out here filling there lives up with unnecessary bullshit and blame their lack of production and consistency on the fact that they don't have enough time.. I've been guilty of it before myself actually.. See our culture for some odd reason associates being busy with being productive and that's just ridiculous.. i personally had to realize that 'all business isn't good business'.. There are 5 major things in my life that I'm focusing on right now and I can't do anymore if I want any positive results from the 5 on my plate. and on any given day I can drop anyone of them or alter the schedule set for each of them because I created these monsters they didn't create me.. life is all about balance and if you can't get the best out of all your participating in, then drop one and pick it back up later when your better fit to handle it.. most people understand that concept but don't go through with it because of the fear of being seen as a quitter or a coward. but who gives a shit about what others think. do what's best for you and your situation.. You have to have some time scheduled everyday just to be alone with your thoughts and try to better yourself from within. analyze your future and see what the hell is going on, and are you making any strides toward who you want to eventually be on this planet.. So channel your time and energy precisely, and throw out all the unnecessary junk you don't need.. time is the toughest test we'll ever take.. you don't wanna wake up one day and realize you lost it all do to confusion and lack of management... what do you think?

? do you think Network television will sell it's morals for Future dollars

If you look at the trends of network programming and published media over the last 40 years you will see a consistentcy of companies catering to the needs of consumers. that is still relevant today but it has dramatically changed.. With an influx of people being able to display themselves right from home (youtube. myspace) companies can now do deeper consumer research than ever before to cater to a particular individual when in the past they had to cater to the masses.. i mean the FCC has been hating on various forms of media since 1934, but as soon as Dave Chappelle began setting records for ratings the word 'nigga' is all on your television screen America.. I'm predicting that the next major change to happen will be on one of the major networks ABC, NBC, CBS, or FOX. one of them will launch an adult show with cursing and soft porn involved. pretty much what you already see on HBO. and they will set a disclaimer for people who don't approve of the programming not to watch during a certain timeframe. possibly called 'red time'.. just think about this. do you believe that 'The Sopranos' would have lost any viewers if shown on ABC.. your answer is hell no. it's audience and impact would have been 3x as large. and the 'New York Post' already voted it the #1 t.v. show of all-time.. Corporations are addicted to money, and their down for whatever the consumers will pay their money for.. their absolute blood suckers.. these corporate suits get paid alot of money, but they don't have the control. consumers tell them what they need to spend their money on and what to create. any real consumer already knows that. all companies doing any big business copy cat one another anyway. and philosophies change with the money.. So I believe that the networks will change for money. and as television changes, so does our society.. but that's a good thing.. we all can't be uptight pricks... what do you think?
