Happy Halloween

Man I wish I was out getting a pillow case full of candy right now rather than doing homework. It was a fun Halloween weekend though. I stayed here for Friday and a couple buddies that go to IU came for the night. Then took off to IU for Saturday night. The walking distances to get places aren't that fun when its cold out though.  Now I all I have to get done is these peer reviews for class on Tuesday. Happy Halloweener!

Net Neutrality (Public Writing)

  A subject that is recently holding a large debate is net neutrality. Net neutrality is the policy that reserves anyone their right to a free and open internet experience ( search engines, social networking, blogging, etc. ). Our countries big telephone and cable companies are wanting to be the ones who control our internet. They want to tax users for certain purposes, decide which websites will load fast, decide which websites will load slow, all so they can guarantee a fast working experience for their programs while they push their competitors into the shadows. Instead of the internet being equal for everyone and having anything a user wants at their finger tips, they are changing the idea of the internet, and putting it at risk. This would put restrictions on certain information, competition, and overall innovation that the internet provides to us. The user's choice would be canceled out, and in turn left up to the ideas of big companies. This is something that could hold a huge impact on our society and our economic future.

All nighters

So all in all it was a good day today...I mean yesterday? An all nighter isn't usually my favorite thing to do during the school week, but you got to do what you got to do. Falling way behind on class work in every class is no one's fault but my own and I have to take responsibility for it! Nothing that some good music and coffee can't help me get through though. I am not a morning person at all, so this will probably be the first AND last time I post a blog at 6:45 AM (or any time before noon for that matter). Hope everyone has a great morning leading to an overall great day.

Public Writing

In my opinion, Public writing is used to get a point across, or to support an argument. When you do public writing, you do it with the intention to show others your opinion, so that they can form their own opinions of your opinions. Public writing is used to look at both sides of an argument as well. It is written and put out there for others to read, agree/disagree with, and to figure out possible solutions for a possible problem. The MM websites are examples of public writing.

It's been a nice relaxing fall break in Indianapolis this weekend. I managed to stay out of trouble and hangout with some friends I haven't seen in quite a while.  It was also the first weekend in a while that we didn't have a show! So it has been a nice break indeed.  This is the longest I've been away from BSU since we moved in at the beginning of the semester, so I am pretty anxious to make the trip back HOME tonight! I am planning on tackling this last half of the semester with a lot more determination also, no more time for slacking! I hope everyone had a safe break and enjoyed it while it lasted!

Great Weekend

Ending this weekend is a HUGE bummer...but back to reality. We released our mixtape on  Friday and it was a huge success! We were the number one mixtape on www.datpiff.com within the first 12 hours, and the downloads are still building! Friday night we had a Release show/party and it was one of the coolest things I've been apart of in a long time. Some people hearing the buzz had us come perform for their party on Saturday night too. If any of you were at either of those, right on for coming out!! I am really happy with the results of our music and glad it is finally getting across campus. If anybody is into hip-hop and wants a listen let me know, I'll get you the free download link! Hope everyone had a good and safe weekend. Prioritize for the week and THINK POSITIVE!

why?

*shaking my head*....So the Colts fall to 0-2 in the division tonight. Which hasn't happened in a long time. For any of you reading this who watched I know you were punching walls after that (what should have been)  interception, he could have ran it back for a touchdown too. So over all that put a huge damper on my Sunday. But the weekend as a whole was a good one! I'm ready to face this week with a positive outlook and get done what I need to get done. We have a mix tape dropping this Friday night which I am really excited about and a show to promote it next weekend. Any of you that want a listen just ask me for the download link and I will send it your way.For now I am at the library and have a psych test tonight at 10 pm, so I think I'll get back to studying now. Everybody be happy to be alive and have a good start to the week!!!
