Family Tree

In my family we do not really have family reunions.. well not officially. This is because our family is so spread out that its almost impossible to get everyone together. For example, my dads family is in Guadalajara or in Vallarta which isnt that bad but still they dont reallu organize a gathering. However, my moms family lives in the U.S. and they are more in on I guess what you could say "family time". Even though we do not have official reuinons in which we make flyers or send out emails about a get together, we do like to go all out for thanksgiving. The "tradition" for many years has always been going to my Uncle Mikes house and having 3 different kinds of turkey and like 100 different types of pies to

get fat on. Then there is regular potatoes, baked potatoes, and potatoe salad, since alot of us our picky eaters. Not ALL of the fmaily is able to attend since I have an uncle and some cousins living in North Dakota, but the majority of my moms family is always there and ready to eat. My aunts and cousins come in from California and usually stay at my uncle Mikes. We will usually all arive there sometime in the afternoon and stay untill dusk. The kids will play outside since the backyard is huge or play with the giant dogs they have. The adults will gossip in the kitchen and eat all day. I used to be the one playing with the dogs and outside the whole day but now I do a little of both because its hilarious to hear the adults gossiping while drunk! :)

My family tree picture

I selected this tree mainly beacuse it has lots of color. Also, because the trees in the background are organge and the one I am going to use is a red tree, indictaing that it is different from all the rest. So I think that my family is unique and different from alot of other families so the tree represents that.

social revolution

Social media revolution, especially after watching that video is very scary. When you think about it, its really picking up speed; no looking back. It's frightening to think that porn is actually the #1 activity on the web. That’s not just gross but disturbing and pathetic for all those people who made it #1. I also found it interesting how so many people have met and dated over the internet because a have a family member who did that, my aunt. She just got to tired of looking for herself so she thought the internet would help. And who would have thought that technology (eharmony.com) would bring a man and a woman together, one from greece and the another from U.S.A. So in these few sentences their has been a positive and a negative together. The negative being the dirty things someone can do over an internet connection, and the positive being that now my aunt is now married to the guy she met online.



I myself am a Facebook addict. I remember when people started getting a facebook and I was still hooked on myspace with this theory that Facebook looked tacky and was never gonna make it. And now I have 100 and 10% forgotten all about myspace's exsistence. I am actually on Facebook right now as I am every waking minute. Well I'm not THAT attached but it's addicting what can I say. Anyways, it was kind of a reality check to realize that in less than 9 months 100 million joined facebook. At this point in cyber time Facebook is probably considered to be #1 and Twitter is not that far behind. So, what's next? If every year or so, or maybe less, our social media is changing, how much further or more modern can we actually go?



To be the best word to describe this cybe revolution is mind bottling. Not the mention, that just by someone typing your name into google, you stalker could find where you live, where your from, or where you attend school. Our personal information is not really so personal anymore. Plus, everything we put on Facebook for example, is now published for all of wonderful noisy friends to see :)... However, on the plus side when ever were bored on Facebook and have nothing on T.V. to watch, we can always find thousands of videos, movies, documentaries, cartoon shows, anything to keep us entertained. On the down side, newspapers are going downhill and that happens to be my fathers profession. In final word, the internet is huge and will only continue to go upscale.

1st blog

I dont know much about blogging but my friend Cristina has a blog and she always sends me the link to read her new stuff. She page is actually interesting, with the things she talks about, even though I only really read it because I look at her grammer mistakes :) . I expect to use this blogger to finish homework assignments and maybe one day I would like to use this for more personal reasons especially since I am going to college and now I already have one. Right now alot of peoples blogs arnt working for me, but we all copy and pasted our blogs on Paulina's status and that was the easiest way. Now we just have to figure out how to make everybodys link work!Creating the blog was very easy, probably because Blogger is one of the easiest bloggers to use. However, with the tecahers instructions it make it even easier.
