Robots fonna take over

Distracted by Maggie Jackson is exactly what you're thinking it's about. It's about being distracted. Maggie Jackson explains how we are entering a "Dark Age" where we are becoming more and more distracted. She explains how this can lead to big consequences later on. Jackson says that we live in a deep virtual world and "plunge into alternative realities so often that perhaps we are losing the ability and will to question the consequences". The end of the book is where she talks about a solution, but since that doesn't really relate to the documentary we watched, I won't be discussing it.

Basically she is explaining that this virtual distracting world we have created for ourselves can lead to consequences we aren't expecting. This is somewhat similar to the documentary. The documentary called Intelligence Revolution by the creepy asian guy (JK his name is Michi Kaku) talks about our dependency on technology and focuses on both the positives and negatives of it. Michio Kaku mostly talks about the wonders of robots and the amazing tasks they are able to complete. Even so, he talks about the consequences. We are so deeply "distracted" by this type of technology that we may not know what we are getting ourselves into. The documentary takes us around the world where some of the most advanced robots are. We see one robot for example, who has the ability to walk and maneuver like a human being. Michi Kaku explains how in the future, we may find ourselves amongts robots that are intellectually more advanced then we are, that we may not know what we are creating.

There is a clear connection between Distracted and the documentary. We are so distracted that we may not know what we are getting ourselves into. We are so into technology that we may be entering a "Dark Age" and causing consequences that won't be so good. So obviously the book and the documentary won't have much of an impact on today's world because right after I'm done with this assignment I will be going on Facebook like all of my other classmates. 

Anyway, at least trrryyyy to be less distracted and make sure you appreciate the wonders of robots before they take over the human race and make us their slaves. The Dark Age is coming yo.

Success essay

This type of essay is something I've been wanting to write about for a while. I didn't even know it until I picked what I wanted to write about. Success is something that I have constantly thought about. It's becoming something that I link to everything. If I get an A on a test I will scream success, if I throw a bottle in the trash without looking...success.

Mission Statement: This essay explains a personal experience of mine that taught me some very important aspects of success. I broke down my essay into sections explaining each aspect with quotes relating to success and tried to describe the concept of success and what it means to me.

The essay wasn't really something I wrote just to explain the meaning of success in my point of view, but it was something I wanted to get out and try and explain to myself. I wanted to make sure I knew what I thought success meant and whether it was something I could write about.

thats freaking annoying

THE pet peeve of mine is...AAAAHHHH. So annoying. When people come late. I say 7. They come at 8. There is no excuse...you have no wife or kids there is no excuse at all. You're just too freaking lazy. When people come late...half of the motivation of having fun is gone. If you tell someone to come at 7, you get things ready for 7. If you see that slowly he or she isn't showing up...you turn on the TV and wait. You sink into the couch and wait even longer. You might even fall asleep. By the time they come you may have forgotten you ever invited them and everything you do from that point on will be done half heartedly. Late people are bad people >:|

Another pet peeve of mine has to do with Facebook. When you are chatting with someone on Facebook and you send something, you are notified once the person sees it. So if you send something at 5:00 P.M. and the person logs in at 5:30 P.M. and looks at your message, you will be notified and it will say "seen at 5:30 P.M.". I'm sure you all knew that. Anyway, when a you are notified that means you know for sure that the person has seen it. It's a fact. They've seen what you sent. But when they don't answer or just log off...I would very much like to smack them across the face. Really??? Freaking answer. At least tell me you have to leave or something before you log off.

These pet peeves happen a lot. Not just once in a while. They happen A LOT. I'm frustrated right now. I just shook my head in frustration. What has this world come to.

Recently I've begun this thing where I'm actually careful about what I eat. After 17 years of eating whatever looks eatable...I decided I need limits. I wanna live a long happy life with children and grandkids!! LOL jk. I would die of frustration if I ever had kids. So ya, I've decided to eat healthy and blah blah so I don't get diabetes or some other thing and die at like 19.

I will be very honest...it has not been easy. Especially when my mom comes home with donuts. I just stare at them and run upstairs trying to clear my mind and forget about how each bite would bring me closer to heaven. So now, whenever I get cravings, Honey Nut Cheerios come to my rescue. Literally. My stomach is empty and it's talking to me and stuff, I'm controlling myself and staying away from that freaking cabinet with all of God's gifts to mankind. That's when I remember, Honey Nut Cheerios. Something I can enjoy without feeling any guilt. Plus there's hearts on the box with stuff about helping with cholesterol. Though everyone knows the stuff on the box is BS...it works. It really gets rid of any guilt and I can feed my lonely stomach.

So I wanted to dedicate this blog post to cereal and the power that they have. Do not underestimate it. You can have cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you're going through a IhavetoeathealthyandIneedfreakingboundaries phase, cereal will become you're best friend. You will find yourself staring at the box as you eat and potentially talking to it...

All hail cereal
