Social Network Take Over

     Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr....you can bank on it that people have at least one of these. It's crazy how the world is becoming consumed in social networks! I mean, even the president has a Facebook and twitter. Like, I bet my generation barely remembers what life was like before social networking. Everybody just loves to update their status on Facebook and twitter.

     The good thing about social networks is that you can keep in touch with a lot of people. It may use the internet, but it sure does save a lot on the phone bill. Just think about it, you rarely talk on the phone and barely text that much anymore (unless you're talking to family). People would actually rather talk to someone via twitter/facebook. With the popularity of social networks, older family members are even more commonly found on facebook. And social networks can be in and out like trends. For example, it's bad for a person to still be using Myspace. People don't always like to use Facebook because parents and family members send then friend requests and they feel obligated to accept, so they flock to twitter.

     When I think about the timeline of popular social networks, I notice they just get lazier than the last.

• Black Planet = html input for basically everything, pic upload, text script, basically you had to build your page from the ground up
• Myspace = layout html codes, pic upload, pic html codes, text script
• Facebook = Pic upload, text script, status updates
• Twitter = Status update, pic upload
• Instagram = Pic upload

Nothing bad about it, just when you get to the point where you can't separate yourself from it. People actually get addicted to their social networks. There was even an episode on MTV's True Life series about it. And I get so amazed sometimes when I'm in a room full of people and everyone's on their phone, (obviously on twitter or instagram). Or how two or more people could be in a room and it's pure silence because they're on their phone. It's just surreal to me. Or even how people talk to an associate, not necessarily a really cool friend, on a social network but in person they don't talk. I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice these things.

     These networks really are a distraction to reality. If you know someone that's Tumblr famous, Twitter famous, and/or Instagram model then you probably know what I'm talking about. I'm sure these people get on their social networks everyday just to chat, rant, socialize, post pictures, etc just to keep their "fame" going. And they've gotten to a point where people are actually interested in what they're saying/posting. It's ok and all, but you gotta realize they're only "famous" on these social networks...therefore, that's where they spend the most time. And let's be honest, what ordinary person doesn't like fame?? It's not like they're celebrity status where paparazzi stalk their every move. They're just famous to the point where they get a lot of retweets, replies, likes, and/or comments.

But hey, it is what it is for now. It won't last long. Because....people do grow up, ya know?

You're Appreciated

I just really noticed how much a simple "thank you" can mean to someone. Something so simple and polite as "thank you" gets overlooked by so many. But why?

People get so busy and caught up in themselves that they forget to say thank you to someone. Or they're just using someone for their advantage and don't care for manners after the fact. But in most cases, people do say thank you, they just don't really show their appreciation. For example: you're at a check out line about to pay for something, but you come up short on cash. The person in line behind notices and is nice enough to give you the difference. You say thanks, make your purchase, and leave. Now what if that same person ended up not having enough for their purchase, something they really wanted? They probably wouldn't mind giving you their money depending on the extent of your gratitude.

I've been on both sides of the fence with this. I had a friend I did multiple favors for. I don't recall her saying thanks, but being as we were friends, I didn't mind helping her. But later down the road I found out that she'd been talking about me behind my back, which made me realized what an unappreciative little bitch she was! Pardon my french. I don't regret anything I've done for her because that's just a reflection of my character. Only thing that's upsets me is how I did so much for her and she couldn't even be thankful enough to not talk about me behind my back. On the reverse, back when I was pregnant, my mother would always buy groceries for me. I was staying with my boyfriend and his mom, and there wasn't always food in the house. Although I really appreciated what she did for me, I don't think I always said thank you. My mom and I are totally different shoppers. She likes to browse, I like to get in and out. So I would get moody when we're in the store for too long, forgetting that all in all she's just doing me a favor.

I believe everyone has manners, they just use it less when they're more comfortable with someone. But that's not an excuse to not always use your manners, because even the person you're closest with can feel unappreciated.

Ladies and Hoes

What makes the difference between a lady and a hoe? Simple: the way she carries herself.

A lady has morals, values, goals, and standards. A lady has just enough pride to want the best for herself and won't settle for anything less. Out of all things a man could give a lady, respect would be the utmost important. A lady is highly admirable whether she's doing good or bad.

A hoe only cares about impressing guys. When she goes out, she has to wear something that will flaunt her assets. Her money goes to clothes, makeup, weave, and constant clubbing. She's an attention whore, she wants to be noticed by any and everyone. A hoe's standards are only as high as the attractiveness level of a guy. She will have sex on the first night of meeting a guy, doesn't mind being called out of her name, and her reputation is usually noted as "easy".

There are a lot of factors that can influence which path a female will take: her environment, peers, relationships, the values instilled in her when she was young, mindset, etc. Where she grew up can have an effect because it may be all she's used to, so naturally she'll branch off of that. Her peers are going to great affect her because she may want to try something new and end up liking it. Her negative relationships will change her view on men because most guys usually want sex. The values her parent(s) instilled in her follow her growing up. Most importantly, her very own mindset will determine what kind of person she chooses to be.

Boys can be conniving with their lies and girls can be naive with what they believe. Boys will only tell you what you want to hear, in order to get what they want. A weak-minded girl will go along with what she hears. A strong-minded person would never go along with what someone else says if it contradicts with their morals.

A person's mindset is their most strongest asset because no matter what they've been through, they shouldn't let it change the person they want to be. No matter what the situation or peer pressure, the person will do what they feel is "right". Always have control over yourself, never let someone get the best of you.

Pro Life =/= Abortion

I can't tell you how many times someone on a social network says, "another girl got pregnant". And I can't tell you how many people in my generation I know of that have a child. Its just that many. For all of the commentators and critics, you really need to reevaluate your lives...it's obviously not that entertaining if you have enough time to put someone else down. It's so annoying when people try to put another person down by saying, 'another bitch is pregnant'.

Girls get so much slander when she announces that she's pregnant, but guys post a pic of him and his baby and he's a great person. Saying another girl got pregnant is just dumb to me because it makes it seem like the girl did it all by herself. No, another boy got a girl pregnant. People always put so much criticism on females and it just sucks. A guy gets around and he's the man, a girl gets around and she's a whore. Guys stay calling females hoes, but they always want sexual relations.

So back to my point. As much as people are looking down on females that get pregnant at a young age, they aren't God and people don't have to have a baby when someone feels it appropriate. People can and will do what they want, whether you like it or not, therefore your comment is not necessary. But people are naturally judgmental and hypocritical, sadly, that will never change.

People fail to see these ladies as taking responsibility for their actions, whether the father has agreed to help or not. No, she's just another dumb girl who couldn't keep her legs closed. And they say that as if plenty of teenagers around the world aren't having unprotected sex. Abortions happen everyday. Some girls would rather kill their own baby than take on that kind of responsibility. If a female can get an abortion without a second thought to it, she's more than likely selfish and irresponsible when it comes to sex. If a female is forced into an abortion, its more than likely because of financial reasons.

There's been much talk about from people who are pro-life on how abortion should be banned. They believe life starts at conception and abortion is murder. Well if the girl was to keep her child, how will she be able to afford to raise it? I guess adoption is an option, but aren't there enough of kids in orphanages and foster care already? The battle to choose between pro life and abortion is confusing. All I'm saying is, the choice is either selfish or selfless.
