I can actually taste this while I write

What do I look for in a restaurant? Well of course taste, variety, cleanliness, quality, short wait for food, and most importantly, the most bang for the buck. Usually when you go to a restaurant, you get what you pay for. How full you get depends on how much money you are willing to spend. I get the most bang for my buck at Zaxbys. Their food is so satisfying and they provide their customers with a variety of items in order for you to get a filling, healthy, and delicious meal for a reasonable price. When I order a wings and things, I am pretty much done eating for the day. Zaxbys main adversary, Chick-fil-a, is no comparison to Zaxbys. Yes, Chick-fil-a is good but it does not fill and satisfy as much as Zaxbys does. Also, Zaxbys provides celery sticks and carrots and other healthy foods to go along with their wide selection of chicken. If a plate full of chicken and is not good enough for you, then Zaxbys also has a wide variety of different salads and dressings. They also provide grilled chicken for those who want to stay away from the deep fried and fatty foods. Also, all Zaxbys that I have been to are extremely clean and they are very well decorated. Their restaurants have an old throwback look as they have many pictures and signs from America’s old days. These objects make you feel like your eating in an old time diner back in the 1960s. In conclusion, if you want to get high quality food for a quality price, Zaxbys is the way to go.

Please Let us Learn

Recently a good friend of mine was telling me that Georgia State University was considering cutting classes about sexuality. These classes include subjects on queer theory, intersex etc. Georgia State University is a state school and is funded through tax payer money. Many tax payers are complaining and asking the school why their money is going towards classes of these subjects. Isn’t Georgia State a school and at a school don’t you learn about various subjects varying from chemistry to math to sex? What is the big deal here? How are people supposed to be educated about controversial subjects? People shouldn’t be taught that these subjects are wrong and you should not learn about it because it is controversial. We should all have the opportunity to learn about these subjects if we want and then make up our mind on what we want to believe. These courses should not be stopped being taught because they are controversial or many people don’t believe that they should be talked about in school. We are not forced to take these courses so the school is not violating any of our rights. I’m pretty sure that these people don’t even know what exactly is being taught in these courses. They just know that it is about a subject that they don’t agree with and they believe it should be banned from school. Not everyone has the same beliefs and morals and we should not withhold others from learning something because we do not believe that it should be taught. It is ridiculous how far people go to try and keep certain controversial beliefs from being taught. The bottom line is, no one is forced and if it is something you would like to learn, then you should have the opportunity to learn it.

Big Brother is watching us...00-)

In the olden days, one would hear the news by word of mouth. Some people even had to travel thousands of miles to spread word about something happening to another town. As time passed, news traveled from print to radio to television and now to the internet and your telephone. The technology out now enables anyone to make, break, and shape the news. From Youtube to iReports on CNN, American citizens everywhere can now report breaking news from their camera. The American Dream is the pursuit of anyone to do whatever they like and with technology being so advanced, citizens recording and reporting news events is a fulfillment of that. I do not believe that it is a good thing for citizens to report the news for several reasons. One, more and more rumors and false reports surface on the internet. These stories reported but uncredible sources spread like wildfire on the internet and for a citizen to record the famous actor out on the town with a woman who is not a wife it ruins him. The use of cameras by citizens invades many people’s privacy and even though they may catch people doing criminal or unjust things, I still think that camera use by citizens is wrong. Also, I believe that because so many people record and report news stories on the internet, there are so many videos on the internet that have biased views. For example, the video blogs have many people voicing their opinions on important stories and events going in the world and some them do not present the right facts in their news reports because of their biases. These biases lead to viewers of these videos to be misinformed. This mainly occurs in the political world; mostly when people would post videos and stories about the political candidates and their views. In the end, the use of cameras and webcams has its pros and cons. It protects us, but it can also be our worst enemy.

Shhhhhhhh...Don't tell my secret..

1.) The PostSecret website is not your average internet hotspot. When I initially got on the website, it made me think of those annoying yet humorous chain emails that I would receive from my old great aunt who just learned how to send an e-mail and wanted to show off by sending everyone a funny message. The site’s messages did not really intrigue me. Honestly, I don’t really get most of the humor. Some of it was funny, but most of the secrets did not get to me. Also the site was not very visually appealing, as it consisted of a black background. There is nothing on the site that could jump out and grab the reader’s attention.
2.) The images were good visual manifestations of the secrets because of the irony used. The pictures and the messages correlated well and told a story that would bring an lol to any reader. For example, the fourth postcard a very happy couple but had the wife’s darkest secret written on the card, she having another husband who is in prison.
3.) The importance of the writing is to state the secret being held by the person in the image. For example without the writing, image 4 would be a happy couple and no one would know that the woman had a husband who was in jail.
4.) The images were the first things to jump out at me. Of course, images appeal to the eyes before words do. So naturally, I looked at the images and then read the writings in order to see what the secret was.
5.) I think this secret is arguing how some people blame on their problems on the government. Believe it or not, some people who are out of jobs put the total blame on the government and poor George Bush. True, the president did make some mistakes…..ok maybe not some, a lot of mistakes but you can’t blame him for all the trouble in your life.
