Facebook

Okay. I'm gonna write about Facebook. I've used Facebook for 2 years now. It gets annoying sometimes, and it's repetitive.
Here's why I liked facebook:
-my friends used it

Here's why I didn't like facebook:
-always changing
-addicting, in a scary (it got to the point where if I wasn't being productive and I had access to the internet, I would just log on and check my notifications. If I had some, I would be happy, and if I didn't have any, I would be sad)
-things got old (seeing the same types of statuses over and over again; if I wanted to I probably could have sorted all of them into categories and subcategories and never need a new category for a few months)
-privacy issues (if I ever want to do something that needs a background check, the last thing I want is for people to see the posts I've made on facebook (not that they're that bad!))
-it's not going to last (I shall elaborate)
-it makes physical communication seem so hard when you can just type things into a chat box

When I say it's not going to last, I mean that I think it's just going to fade away eventually, like Myspace, Friendster, Google+, etc.. It might be one of those companies that just does things right and stays on top (Google vs. Bing. When was the last time you heard someone say Bing it?) for awhile, but I don't think it'll do that. Instead, I think it'll fade away and people won't miss it because there will be a new standard that everyone uses.

Because I only had ONE reason on my "liked" list, I deleted my facebook today. I'm hoping my social life doesn't take a dive with it, but I think without Facebook, I'll be more focused in life.

Homework

Alright. Gonna go do Social Studies homework for the night. Tomorrow? Hopefully I can get a little farther in JavaScript and start getting into HTML/PHP, because web coding sounds fun. I still don't know if I wanna be a web coder or an application coder first. I'd love to be both, later in life. Also, I'm reading all my posts in the voice of Jesse Eisenberg because I just watched The Social Network. I have to say, reading them like that in my head makes them sound a lot better. You should try reading them in that voice too.

edit: I keep forgetting add post titles.
edit: I accidentally a word there.

Awesome Quote I Just Heard

"This is our time. This time, you're gonna hand them a business card that says, I'm C.E.O, BITCH."
-Sean Parker, in "The Social Network". Watching it right now.

Hello, World

First post. I made this blog because of inspiration. It's 2:32 AM right now. My inspiration to make a blog:
-Watching The Social Network.
-MIT Admissions Blogs
-Being up late at night
-Having a place I can dump all my thoughts into
-Having a place safe from people in my school
-I'm sick of Twitter's micro-blogging format in which you can only use 140 characters to express your thoughts.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I just hit 80 WPM last night, too. That's kind of a part of it, I guess. It's not a reason for making the blog, but it's a plus. I don't know if this blog is an in-the-moment thing or if it's gonna be something I take with me through high school and college, and I hopefully I can make it better by learning HTML and stuff. For now, I'm sticking to learning JavaScript, but I waver a lot with learning languages. I was learning Python a week and a half ago. My first language that I ever tried was C++. I failed at it. I then did a bit of Batch (@echo off stuff) and HTML. I don't remember much of anything from HTML besides <p> and </p>. Or is that just because I watched The Social Network? Hmm. (Funny thing I just noticed: typing < or > in Google's simple blog posting shows "&lt;" or "&gt;" in HTML. Maybe if I ever learn HTML I'll know more about that.

I'm NOT going to update this blog regularly. I don't even know if I'll update it at all. I'm not good with sticking to schedules. Inconsistency is my middle name. I don't want it to feel like, "Ugh. Time to update my blog." I want it to be something more like, "Wow. That was interesting. I'm gonna blog about that."


//there used to be a paragraph here, but my mind is controversial so I backspace a lot. I don't like it.

Anyways, welcome to my blog. :)
