Special Blog Post

This blog post is actually just a response to one of five videos. The one I am responding to is the one with Will Smith and Jayden Smith when Will says to Jayden that he can't be a professional at basketball and that he should not be wasting his time playing basketball anyway. In my opinion I think that he was a little bit harsh with Jayden and it was a little bit sad too. The video is saying that you should not chase your dreams just because someone else told you that you couldn't do whatever you do that was involved in your dream. Below is that video from a movie and it is a little sad.

Ads, Ads, Everywhere

Ads, Ads, stupid ads,they are  everywhere! 'm serious though... from billboards, to windows, and even to some of Internet's popular websites. Don't you just hate them? 
                                        When you see an advertisement for the first time, you feel shocked or excited, then as you see them over and over again, you'll feel as bored as watching the nature channel. The companies expect you to buy their products, so they post advertisements EVERYWHERE and it is just really annoying. i also feel like it is invading my privacy because they will just not stop posting advertisements until you buy their products, and even when you buy a product of a company, they STILL post advertisements. When you are a kid, and you just want to buy a product of a company just so the advertisement from that company will stop, you can not... you know why... because you have to get a STUPID JOB! Well, not all jobs are stupid, but you know what I mean. 
                                            Whenever I am in the mood of going on the Internet for watching videos on YouTube, the first thing I see is an advertisement... I'm okay with that, but when I see my first video of the day, I see, yet again, another advertisement playing just before the video starts, and I guess I am okay with that too... but whenever I click on a link to another video, over, and over again, again you might know what is going to happen... another STUPID advertisement plays before each video. Sometimes it is a Google Chrome advertisement which is 15 seconds long, or a movie preview or a video game trailer which is either 15 seconds, to 4 minutes long!!! I'm like, play the video already! By the time of my fifth video I am watching is over, I am really crazed out right then. Not like I stare into outer space, but like the mascot for "Cocoa Puffs" that keeps saying "I'm cukooo for Cocoa Puffs!". Out of five years of my life that I watched videos from YouTube I saw 1,000 and above number of advertisements and I am still counting!
                                                I am telling you... if I see another advertisement from YouTube again, my head will explode! If you see me later than that with bandages wrapped all over my head that is probably why.... SO BEWARE. I mean, tell me how many advertisements you saw before you went loco. And then you'll see how I feel about advertisements randomly popping in on Facebook, YouTube, or any other popular website.

Should iPads Be Replaced With Textbooks

The suspense is on between iPads & textbooks, who will win? Have you ever had an assignment that was in a textbook, that you had to carry it home and all the pain comes in, rushing through your body? Well iPads with the same information as textbooks should be the new textbook in town, or should I say, iTextbook. I think iPads SHOULD be replaced with textbooks and there are an infinite amount of reasons why. The iPad will surely be very lighter than the big old chunky textbook. With textbooks being in your backpack there would be at least 10 or 15 pounds already added to your backpack's weight along with a bunch of other notebooks, folders, and binders. So by the time you go home, you'll feel like you'll need to go in the freezer just to soothe the suffering pain. But with the iPad, it is at least 2, or 5 pounds for so much better results of almost no pain at all. Also, with the iPad, students might actually be more interested in learning that lesson at hand. I say that there might be some applications/games that is related to the lesson that is already  pre-downloaded onto the iPad. So principals if you are reading this post think about replacing textbooks with, the iTextbook (iPad
