DisTAnt lOver!

Since we can write about whatever we feel, I’m going to just write about what I’m thinking about now. I’m going to entitle this “Distant Lover”; this is for a person who is very special to me.

Distant lover, we met by chance 3 years ago .Who would have thought I would begin to feel for you like this? I love you, but pride won’t let me say those three little words to you. I think that you love me too, but your pride is the same as mine. We are too worried about letting our emotions shine through, too worried about getting hurt by the other person, but I won’t hurt you, for you mean the world to me. I also know that you won’t hurt me; at least I hope you won’t, I mean at least you say that you won’t. I know that we are young and we should keep our options open, but it is hard for me to do that when you are everything that I want and look for in a guy, you make it hard for me to be with anyone else, whether you know it not. I know I might be too young to say this, but, sometimes when I look at me, I see you. Now you are sooo many miles away from me, and it really hurts me, although I appreciate your phone calls and messages, that doesn’t make up for your touch and presence that I miss L. I can’t wait until you come back to America! I miss you!

Media....what happened?

I think that it is apart of the American dream to be able to convey the news how you would like because I feel that it is apart of freedom of speech. I think that being able to get the news out there how you want it ensures that you will be heard. Sometimes people may feel that the news is wrong and their opinions of the news at hand is correct, therefore they make a blog or a you tube video to get their point across to the public.

On the other hand, blogging and putting videos up on you tube ruins the value of true journalist who go out into the world to ensure that they are giving you correct information. I feel that being able to blog and post videos on the internet makes everyone feel equal. But I feel that it is really hurting the journalism world because people aren’t really reading or buying certain magazines or newspapers that they used to because they can get the same story off of you tube or they can even make up a story of their own to post.

I am straddling the fence on this idea because, although I feel that it is apart of the American dream to have the opportunity to be heard and I think that blogging and you tube is a great way to be heard, it devalues and discourages those who really have a passion for journalism.

Secrets...

Initially when I saw the site, I was confused. I was confused because I did not understand what some of the people who submitted entries were trying to argue.The images on the site were good visual manifestations of this secret because the images that they used showed surprise because if one was looking at the pictures, they would not think of those captions. The importance of writing versus images in this project is that the person may not see the same thing that you are tying to convey in a picture. Whereas, when you write, a person can get a better understanding of what you are trying to conver.The words spoke to me more, the images threw me off because they were kind of peaceful while the words were harsh.

5. Pic one secret and link to it on your blog, what do you think, if anything that secret is arguing? https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYtPZ-HLDMNH_NOCLrSOTyy0K7pXeIqCG8Xv9PNokP-xO5S9XKCliZPl5MDp1ihq6RY2KrXqv5WOCD1pizeg4-YBcrqu99o_1m8qkRnWFI4jgsbry5lBUfxLAt3w-9cspk0dKo3oYBZvvS/s1600-h/draw.jpg This is arguing that people want things in life, but they don't want to do what it takes to get it.
