Television!! Entertainment or way of life?

Television is not only today's entertainment but in lots of lives it has replaced many relationships, friends, and hobbies. It kinda qualifies for spending quality time with people now too we just invite them over to watch tv with us. I have been invited to watch tv with friends who miss spending time with me many times. We hang out and just watch some good ol' tv together. Ofcourse television like everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages. For people who are introverted and loners its good because they don't have to socialize with anyone while watching. Television is something most people who don't like being alone can even do alone without being bothered. For people who have a hard time making friends or getting along with people its great too because the tv doesn't ever insult you or hurt your feelings and or if it does you just change the channel which is totally something you can't do to a friend which all of us at some point wished we could. Television has something for everyone for the "social people" it has many sitcoms and different shows and movies, for the "nerds and geeks" that want to watch something they can learn from there are a lot of educational channels both historical and modern and for the "hands on" type of people there are tons of things they can learn to do such as new recipies or home improvement shows and learn how to build things. And for the fashion lovers ofcourse television is the most fabulous place to learn the latest fashion. We can eat while watching tv we can relax while watching tv and we can entertain others while watching tv. Television can give us many different emotions we can watch things that make us happy , sad, excited, scared or whatever emotion we feel like having..thats the type of program we can watch. Lots of times we take the advice and information we learn from the television programs and use it in our everyday lives so who says television can't be educational?! It sure can!! There is something for everyone! Here is something to think about Is television our new best friend? Sometimes I think its mine ;) LOL!

Reality Check

When you enter a relationship its really nice to get completely involved with the person you are seeing. Especially if the involvment is mutual, I think the best types of relationships are the kind that you get so involved with the person you are with that you kinda forget about everyone else and that special person becomes one of your main priorities in life and all of the choices and decisions you make for your life includes them and you always keep in consideration how it effects them.. REALITY CHECK most people are not like that! relationships like that are rare if not extinct! so we the rare breed of us that are like that Wake up we shouldn't be like that either... when going into a realtionship you should always be yourself and stay yourself don't change unless its what you want! and Don't make everything revolve around your partner because they are not doing that for you and when you wake up to realize that, you are only going to get hurt. When they think about their life you'll be lucky if they even consider you in it. In some cases when they talk about their life and future its like you aren't even included in their future. So keep your choices and your own decisions about your life separate from your relationship and think of yourself before you think of the other person, because thats what they are doing... That is one of my weaknesses that I have which I'm trying to work on. Unfortunetly when I'm in a relationship I drown myself in it and I want that person to be involved in everything and I want to be involved in everything about them..but I have experienced that its not such a good idea to do that and you should surround yourself with many different people and not only that one person, It's good to think of them as more special than the rest but don't isolate yourself only to them because if you are more involved in the relationship and its not mutual then you are going to get hurt in the long run... You don't always know that you are isolating yourself only to them untill the person you are seeing makes a small comment which is not intended to hurt you but hurts beyond words and makes you step back and have a reality check.. sometimes its something really small and maybe something simple which seems unimportant to them but makes u just feel really hurt. Then you look at yourself and you're like dude! what are you doing? back off obviously they are not as engaged to this relationship as you are! ...its heartbreaking but true. Its not their fault everyone is different. You shouldn't do anything irrational like ruin the relationship or end it but every once in a while a REALITY CHECK is much needed, but I sorta wish I could have one without getting hurt. So when things don't feel right or when they feel TOO RIGHT just step back and give yourself a REALITY CHECK!

Is Education a scam?

Is education just a business?
Sometimes I feel like education is just a way students everywhere are torturing themselves. Is it a scam? or is it a business? Are they just making money from students everywhere? We pay thousands and thousands of dollars ever semester to complete courses which we want to get over with and rarely enjoy, feel imprisoned and obligated to go, want to go home as soon as possible get excited when what we paid for being the classes..are cancelled, study for hours and hours for exams which contain materials which we probably will not remember a few months later, get all stress out, and all for what?! just to get a paper in the end saying that we have done this and paid thousands of dollars for this paper which is considered so valuable in society today, the infamous "Degree" Have you noticed when you go for a job interview some of the first questions they ask are what have you studied? what "Degree" do you have? and where from?? Although I have seen it myself on many different occasions people who have not been to college are in a different if not lower social class and have completely different lifestyles than those have "Degrees" but I think the main idea we have all come to accept and agree upon unfortunetly is "No College No knowledge" in some cases it is true but in other cases I have met many people who are doing fine without a "Degree" and or have one but are not even working in their own field which the "Degree" says they are trained for. I do believe everyone should experience college in one way or another although at times I do have my doubts about the infamous "Degree" I guess its just an open ended question is Education a scam? a business? or is it really essential in one's life?
