Dear Kanye what are you smoking?

Well most of us have already seen or heard what happened at he VMA this past week and how much its getting from media coverage. During the VMA Kanye West took Taylor Swift microphone from her while she was in the middle of her acceptance speech and said that Beyonce had the best music video ever. I was on You Tube watching random video when I saw the feature video and I thought to myself this guy is a jerk. First off I have no clue what Kayne was thinking at the moment and how he think Taylor would react. I wonder how he felt if someone else took the mic from him and said some else had the best album ever.

I felt really bad for Taylor because she had that look is if what the (bleep) is going on. I don't know how I would of react if that had happened to me. Taylor is such a nice girl and it sucked that this had happened to her at her first VMA award. They show how Beyonce reacted as Kayne was giving his speech and I believe she had a face palm moment, and who wouldn't have. He also made Beyonce look kind of bad even though it not her fault. Taylor had to do a performance after the rude interrupting by Kayne. I don't know how she pulled that one off but good for her not to let him get to her. At the end of the show Beyonce won the music video of the year award and she was nice enough to ask Taylor to get back on and let her finish her acceptance speech.

Kanye West went on the Jay Leno show and tries to recover from what he had done. He said that he wanted to said sorry to Taylor face to face and the worst thing is to me is that he didn't even apologies to her personally; He only wrote on his blog that he is sorry and he know what he did was wrong. You know you (bleep) up if the President of the United State called you a jackass which i find that very funny. Just treat people how you wanna be treated simple as that.

How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live

I have never been into the whole social networking sites like myspace or facebook. I do admit i have a facebook account but not to the point where i have to check it every few minutes. I don't see the point in these types of site. I only use it to ask to people if they want to hangout or go shoot some pool and that mostly it. When I heard my friend talking about Twitter it seems to be the most ridiculous thing ever. I thought no one want to hear about my daily routine or me wanting to know about my friends'.


After I've read the "How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live" article in Time magazine; I might have change my opinion about Twitter. I have no idea how popular Twitter is around the world. Political leader and higher up ranking people are using it as well. I think Twitter is a good thing in a way since we can watch or read update on current events around the world and don’t have to rely on TV or wait till the newspaper writes about it. In the article they talked about how the followers can discuss the topic as the debates goes on in real time. I think that gets us as the audience a voice and can talk about our opinion instead of being on the outside and only reading the news or watching the TV.

Another thing they talked about in the article was how people are using Twitter as a resource searching spot for current events instead of Google. That is freaking amazing to me seeing how I thought Twitter was a pointless site. I might have to use twitter to search on some current events so that I’m up to date on the things going around the world and be ready for those quizzes lol. Like the old saying u just can’t judge a book by its cover.
