Last day from FaceBook :)


I would say my time from Facebook, haven’t been a terrible idea. The reason for this is because it showed me a side of me that I thought couldn’t have happen, which is that I thought I was addicted to Facebook due to the amount of time I always be on it. The seven days I was not on Facebook was kind of a headache but then relieving, the part that gave me a headache is because I have a app on my phone which alerts me with either messages, notification, comments, likes etc., and everyday my phones would vibrates and I would really want to see what it is but knowing that I can’t really drives me nuts. The part that is relieving is the fact that I get most of my work done because knowing I can’t get on Facebook there is nothing else to do, I get more sleep and less headache during the days.  
I am really happy that I will be able to go back on this social network and talk to all  my friends again, look at people status, go through people pictures, and be noisy by checking there page out to see what they have been up to in the past seven days. But I would say I really enjoyed testing myself out to see if I was addicted or not, and I would say I am but then I am not, I say this for  many reason which is can live without Facebook because I had been throughout  my life, but long as I know I can get on I will.

Time being from FaceBook


During the time from Face book I would say it has been nerves rocking and then I would say it hasn’t been that hard. The reason I say it has been nerves rocking is because I have this Face book app on my phone and whenever I get a notification, message, poke etc it come straight to my phone and I be upset when it something interesting come to my phone and I cannot look at it, also when some of my friends in Jamaica who hasn’t seen my status that I update saying I won’t be on Face book for 7 days have been sending me message, and I just know that they are probably saying what is up with me , one more thing is that the seniors just went to prom and I cannot see their pictures because I can’t go on face book. I just feel like I am missing out on a lot and I’m just left out. 
 
The other reason why I stated it hasn’t been that bad is because the example Mr. Morean gave us in class about the girl who woke up in the middle of the night wanted to tweet, I had thought that something similar would had happened to me as in me just getting mad and upset about the whole thing and would just go on Face book regardless, but I go through my day fine and also night without being extremely mad but I do get upset at the same time.

Experts: Circumstances of Florida family slayings 'really unusual'


This article is about four siblings that were shot by their mother. In this article it was saying that early that morning the four siblings were murder and investigators are still trying to determine what happened at the Port St. John home. These four kids mother name is Tonya Thomas and she is 33 years of age. And the kids that were murder: two boys and two girls, the boys name are 15 years of age Jaxs Johnson, 12 years of age Joel Johnson, and the girls name are 17 years of age Pebbles Johnson, 13 years of age Jazlin Johnson. According to the statement that day the children went to a neighbor’s house when the shooting started, with at least one reporting being shot, according of 911 calls released by the sheriff’s department Tuesday but they returned while neighbors were on the phone with deputies, and more shots followed. "The two kids were in the front yard, one banging on the front door, 'Help us! Help us!'" a neighbor told dispatchers. "There was so much confusion going on we couldn't tell who shot who, and then when I was talking to you the one kid said his mom shot him." 
The investigators don’t know a motive for the killing, said Lt Tod Goodyear, a spokesman for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. But he said neighbors have described a history of public argument among Thomas and her children, and Jaxs Johnson was arrested after a pair of fights with his mother in April. And during these fights according to the sheriff’s office, he knocked out a window with his bicycle during a fight and Thomas told deputies “she is attempting to get him into different programs to help with his issue. Also she stated that her son punches and kick her when she tried to wake him up for school, and then ran out the house. Even though people thinks she killed her children, the police reported circumstances are “really unusual”,” far different from typical cases involving either women or men.

Abstain from Facebook

As starting this project, which is not to go on Facebook for a week, I think it will be difficult to achieve because knowing my self this is one of the main way I communicate with my friends back home in Jamaica. And it is just interesting to know what is going on there while I’m here in Washington; it makes me feel like I’m there but not really am. I think when I drop this terrifying news to my friends they are going to feel awful knowing that they cannot see me because of the distance and they can’t her from me as well because this assignment, but at the end of the day they will understand and find it fun to see if I can really do this. I am just really nervous to see what I can do, because I really don’t see myself being addicted to face book it’s just that it is cheaper to keep in contact and also funny to see what dump stuff a another person have to say, and most of all I started to see that Facebook have this funny cartoon app that people always viewed  and it will pop up on my news viewed and it’s just difficult to just go past it and not read what it’s about, also I love liking people picture and post, even when it isn’t necessary. But here we go I am going to give it a try!! Hopefully all goes well :) 
This assignment is really going to be a work, because every day when I go home the first thing pops up in my head is “I wonder what going on, on Facebook” and then I go right ahead on it with my uniform still on and book bag on the floor right next to me. So it is a shame, also sometime my granddad be coming in the room asking if I cannot give Facebook a break and I will be replying say “No!!!”

Obama Says Same-Sex Marriage Should Be Legal

This article is about President Barack Obama endorsing same sex marriage. As described by several aides, that quick decision and his subsequent announcement in a hastily scheduled network television interview were thrust on the white house by 48 hours of frenzied. Advisers say now that Mr. Obama had intended since early this year to define his position sometime before Democrats nominate him for re-election in September. But many of the president’s allies believed he would not do so, trusting instead in his strong support from gay voters for having ended a ban on openly gay people in the military and disavowing a federal law defining marriage as between a man and a woman. 
Also, in the article it stated that on Wednesday afternoon Mr. Obama sat down in the white house with ABC’s Robin Roberts and made news, saying after nearly two years of saying that his views in same sex marriage were “evolving.” And he also stated “ at a certain point, I’ve just concluded that foe me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married and have equal rights.
