GAMING GONE WILD!!!!!!

Hello again. This new post is about video games and how they affect today's youth. Being part of this large group of video game-playing teens, I believe video games are alright, at certain amounts. I actually know people who have played video games for literally five months straight! In my eyes this is unbelievable and I personally would get frustrated and obsessed with the game.

Although video games on occasion (meaning every three weeks or so or with friends) are fun, and not dangerous, they can become addictive. People in this world think life is a game like Halo or Assassin's creed that when if you die, you'll always get another life. Unfortunately, this is not how the world works. If you decide to flip over your car because someone is following you, there will be a price to pay and that is with your life.

Video games can be educational and that is where they come in handy. Games like Brain Age help develop the teenage mind through culminating activities and Sudokus. However, teenagers aren't into that kind of stuff. All they want to do is "pwn noobs" using AK-47's and what not. Let's hope the adults of tomorrow are not so crazed with games and actually do good in life.

All in all, video games are alright in certain quantities. We shouldn't do the things we see characters do in those video games because who knows what might happen. Also, video games that help stimulate the brain is always good for a developing mind and may help the teenager on his/her way to success.

PS: A word to all those intense gamers out there, cut back on the games and do some homework!

Save The Drama For Obama!

Barrack Obama. An intelligent man, a political man. Now that George W. Bush is out of office, we can finally fix America, a once strong country in everything from the Economy to our military. Bush has put a sickness on America with his plans to fix the recent fall of the US Economy. All his suggestions were failures. On November 4, 2008, America voted for the doctor that will mend the wounds of this broken nation, and his name is Barrack Obama.

There was a commercial that aired in early 2000 that was advertising Budweiser Beers. One of the most amusing commercials I've seen has been turned into a great campaign ad for Obama. The commercial was bout these four guys who sat at home drinking Bud's all day, without a care in the world. 8 years later, President Obama used this commercial as a wake up call to Americans. The same four guys were no longer drinking some beers and having some good times, but now are trying to find jobs in an unemployed nation, watching the stocks plummet, and surviving hurricanes. This is to show how badly George W. Bush has messed up during his 8 years in office. Barrack Obama promises to make a change, and this commercial explains to its viewers that the time to change is now and with our newly elected president, Barrack Obama!
