"The iSpies"
Websites these days can have tracking devices in them so when you go to that site they automatically know who your are and what your looking for. In the story, they knew everything about Ashley Beaty. She was being tracked everytime she would sign onto a computer. I think people that wanna do that should be locked up and rot in prison. Thats peoples private business and now everybody tries to be creepy and find out what your really doing when you sign on the internet. There is no such as privacy in our world today.

"The Privacy"
Websites have "cookies" on there site so that when you go to it, they get information and other facts about  you and sell it over there site. Websites like Facebook, Yahoo, Google and others get money by selling your information to advertisers. I dont think websites should be allowed to do that becouse there taking your information and selling it so they can make money.

"Great Debate"
Them folks that says we shouldnt have any privacy is about stupid. People should have the right to look at whatever they wanna look at and not have to worry about being tracked. Scott McNeally should be able to be tracked by everybody and he shouldnt be able to do anything without the whole U.S. knowing about. I say that becouse of the comment he said, "You have zero privacy," "Get over it".

"Don't I Know You?"
Websites like [x+1] should be deleted by the Federal Governemnt for invasion of private property. What they do, you click one button and them know who you are, where your from, your family, what kind of car you drive, what kind of credit you have and a ton more.  Thats just a little to far on the privacy. Websites are gaining clear evidence to decide if you would be a good customer or not before you even speak with someone about becoming a customer. It's not fair for the people trying to make new things happen.

"Soul-Searching"
Google is trying to find new ways where people cant be tracked as easily and to help them feel like there not creeped out the whole time there online. Everytime you click the "Like" button on facebook, they find out valuable important information about you and sell it over the internet. Today's world is screwed up and will NEVER be the way it use to be.

"An Open Book"
Facebook is trying to make it safer for people to use. Games on facebook such as FarmVille, Texas Hold Em' Poker and Frontierville give out your personal information and some of your friends personal information to the outside world. I dont understand why they cant make the games where you can play them and nothing will happen? Why does it everything have to be so strict and creepy these days?

Freedom Writers

Friday and yesterday, we watched the movie Freedom Writers.  I've watched that movie dozens of times and every time I watch it it amazes me how well the students come together in the end. All of the students in that classroom come from different backgrounds, gangs, race, etc. Everyday they would wake up, they didn't know if they were even going to make it to school without getting shot at or jumped. The students stayed with each other all through high school in the same class ninth through twelfth grade graduation day.  Most of the students in room 203 were the first people in there families to ever graduate high school and go to college.

Last weekend for me was a goodun'. I went to the quad Friday to set up the tent, went back out there Saturday morning about 8am to set tables and tv up, then went back out there about 3 that afternoon and didnt leave til about 12:30. Bama played Mississippi State here in T-town and we did work on them just like were going to do against Auburn. AU got so lucky Saturday. Georgia should of killed them but o well, better for us if we beat them! We play Georgia State this Thursday night at home. Then Friday me and a bunch of other people are going to see Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan at the BJCC!!!!!

Next week is Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is actually next Thursday and Tuesday is our last day of school. Wednesday were going to Sawyerville to scout for ducks and see if any come in to our honey hole. Thursday, Thanksgiving day I'm leaving town around lunch time heading to Mississippi to duck hunt. There season comes in on the 26th, Black Friday, and goes out that Sunday the 28th. were gonna hunt all three days then come home Sunday night sometime. I wont even get to watch the Iron Bowl due to this trip becouse where were going does not have satellite television.

Nov 2

Well it's November 2, election day. I have no clue what to write about so here goes nothin. We have 3 days til Vestavia heads to town for the first round playoff game. Alabama will travel to Baton Rouge to take on the Tigers of LSU with no problem. Last weekend was Halloween and Saturday night was great night!! I got home about 1:00 Sunday morning and went strait to bed when I got there. I'm not sure what i'm going to do this weekend yet. I may go climb a tree and see if I cant drop a deer saturday morning becouse it's goin to be in the 20's early saturday morning.

''Who Needs to Eat?''
Americans are spending a lot of money on new technology like new 3D t.v.'s, iPhones, and Macbook Pro computers. Electronic sales went up 1.8% from last year, and furniture fell 11%. People think that if they buy all this expensive and nice stuff that it will help the economy get better and make life easy for everybudy, but what they dont know is that electronics only make up about 1.2% of the economy. I think its rediciulus the way people will sepnd $400+ on a phone, or $2000 on a stereo system, I mean how stupid are people theses days? Kids think that since its new they have to have it to keep with the future and everything around them.

"A Career Crystal Ball"
The future of jobs will almost double by the year 2018. The Biomedical Engineer occupation is expected to grow 72% by 2018. From looking at charts and stats, the medical field would be the place job to go into becouse almost every medical jog will be expeceted to grow no less than 38% by 2018. I think the reason jobs are getting more open is becouse people are retiring and with the way babies are coming in so fast were gonna have to add medical staff.

"Your Body, Your Life"
In high school, students tend to stay fit and stay in shape where they dont gain much weight, well some people do at least. When kids get into college, they dont run, workout or anything they just drink beer and eat all the time and think there not gonna get fat. Most college students have to learn how to live on there own like what they should eat, what time to go to bed, etc. Students should run, workout, exercise, everday they get a chance to. That would prevent them from gaining weight and getting lazy. A lot of college students do run and take care of thereself which is a good thing but the certain few that dont are gonna regret not running all the time becouse when they get old there gonna be fat and never wanna do anything.

10/29/10

Well last night we went to Demop and did work on em', we won 34-14 which means we finish out the regular season 9-1 with one loss being to Gardendale. We host first round of the state playoffs next Friday to Vestavia  out of Birmingham. There pretty good but since we have home field advantage we can beat them. After the game last night, me, Bill, Will, and Dustin stayed at there farm in Sawyerville which is about 10 miles outside of Greensboro. We went to bed at 1:00 this morning and woke up at 6:00 and got ready and came strait to school. We were doing about 90 coming back this morning so we could make it back in time but I was still late for school.

October 28. Top News!!

Well I'm at school right now, goin to work til about 4:30 when I leave school and head to Demop for our last regular season game of the year and the last regular season game of my high school career! After the game, Me, Bill, and Will are going to stay at there farm in Sawyerville tonight and come to school. Now on to the top news of the day. The first game of the MLB World Series was played last night in AT&T Park in San Francisco, between The San Francisco Giants and the Texas Rangers. Sadly the Giants won, I was pulling for the Rangers becouse they have Tommy Hunter who graduated last year from The University of Alabama last year and a member of the baseball team here on campus. Game 2 will start tonight around 8:00 in San Fran. They will play a best of 7 series, with game 7 scheduled for Nov. 4.

My Day...
Well today started out not so good. It was a dark morning and I just wanted to lay in my bed as long as I could. Well about 7:20 I rolled out and rushed to get a shower and see how quick I could get ready. I had to be at school by 7:45 and when i parked in the parking lot and got out the bell was ringing so I had just made it. It's now 10:30 and I have 3 more hours left here and then its time to go to work.
