blog on meet joe blog

i actually enjoyed reading this out of the book i usually do not like to read it but it was very interesting and i learned some things from reading that. Blogs used to not be a very big deal people just didn't care about them i was one of those people who didn't and didn't really care or even know what one was until this year in English. I am beginning to not care as much to blog because i am starting to enjoy writing.
this reading was very educational and opened my eyes to something i had no idea was going on. The book tells of how blogs impacted the world around us and how much power they actually had. I learned that there are different blogs for different reasons some are to express ideas and others are made to tell of things no one else has seen. i thought it was neat how a soldier who was in Saddam Hussein's palace described what it was like , that is awesome because anyone who is curious about it can read that and doesn't have to hear by word of mouth which spreads the story faster. It is also used to express someones real ideas with out someone going through and saying hey you cant put that or editing out the real raw things people want to keep in there writing
After reading this article out of the book i have a new found respect for blogs. I now see that blogs aren't just written because people get bored. I see they actually have a meaning behind them and have good legitimate information. Maybe by the end of the year i will turn into a blogger myself and actually do it because i really want to not because i have to. then maybe i will voice my opinions and let someone see how i really feel inside.

today in class i found the discussion very interesting . The conversation was over two forms and one form had a religious base will the other had a financial base. The first application was about how much money you made and how many family members you had and how old they were. I believe the reason that this one did not have a religious base is because like some one said in class the government gives them funding so they may not be able to put a religious affiliation on there. the reason for this is because of the fine line between religion and state.
the other form had more of religious approach to it. this approach may anger some people while to me as a practicing christian i like the idea of that form more than the other. many people in class thought that this organization was made to push or look down on someone for not believing what they believe. I believe at the least it was put on the sheet to put a bug in that persons ear to get them thinking about what those questions mean and if they like the way the answered the questions. And it also allows the people who are giving them the money or food something to talk about with them and it may even give that person the confidence to ask a question or two about that religion .

I attended the rodney adkins concert thursday and had a blast singing and dancing to the music i sat with a lot of my friends in the floor section. Phil vasser was the first to come out he had a zebra print piano which was pretty awesome and he sang and danced and put on a pretty good show. then out came rodney adkins he began to sing and was very intertaining . Many things happen at concerts and they are usually crazy and the craziest thing happened to me that night. I was standing there with two of my fraternity brothers dj and bill and ROdney adkins began to throw shirts out he had one shirt left and threw it our way it tipped off of djs hand an out of no where this very large girl dove in and almost knocked me over knocked our three chairs over and and girl behind us down on the ground. so i looked down at her and saw the shirt laying there so i picked it up and her very large mom who was very mean snatched it out of my hand and yelled at saying that it belonged to her daughter and then i hear a weird noise and i look to my left and dj and bill are literaly barking at this lady and they barked at her until she left the concert it was so funny i will never forget that night as long as i live
