At age 35 and single it has come to my attention that I have yet to leave a legacy of any sort. The child and youth care worker inside of me wants to do more than just care for troubled youth. I want to be remembered for something great. And thus the writer emerged once again.
This idea of mine has been around since March - abolishing the word 'ghetto' from common vocabulary. At first I thought it was merely an urban term. However the truth is that the word itself comes from racial segregation. There so much more research that I need to find at this time but I hope that it make an impact for this generation and those who follow it.

only thing I question
This the only time I am going to mention this so please don't think I am a bad person. One of the few things that I personally observe is the fact most overweight women in my area use shopping carts to mobilze anything they need to carry. This includes small items like water bottles. Is this sincerely neccessary or are these acts of lazyness? Either way it just furthers the stereotyping of them in a negative manner and it does not help their personal image which is percieved by other people in their surroundings. Technically 'no' these women
are not disabled in any known manner. I suppose it would not hurt for them to at least make an effort to make a change for themselves.

First On
I never thought of myself of writing a blog via cell phone. Normally I would be twittering my thoughts and/or share them on Facebook. Why? Only because that's the nature of a social network, sharing ideas but to a more common audience. But this is where I share them with people who like to also write. Not many people like myself actually blog while commuting to work. Yet here I am giving it a try... This photo was taken obviously from the inside of a bus ... and I am surprised of well it turned out. Anyway I think I will consider blogging more often when I don't have much to share socially but intellectually. For now I would like to figure how I can make full use of social networking with this blog. Laters :D

The Future
If there's one thing that humanity fears it's the future. People either know what comes next or fears what may come next. Admitting that I am a human being only proves that I am among my own kind. However there's very few things about the future that I fear. I do not know what the future comes my way and for the first time I am not worried, yet I don't know why nor do I care.

The Theory
It has come to my own personal attention that my theory of pop culture influencing the youth falls under the category of sociology, a subject not involving youth but social science as a whole. However there is child sociology I dare say it is not within my best interests to become a social worker for youth. However I would like to work around this theory of mine so it helps child and youth care workers, not a social worker.
I would like it very much to see this theory of mine beneficiary towards aiding youth in general but more importantly troubled youth. It is my theory that pop culture can influence the child and youth in a positive manner if it is handled properly. This goes beyond watching movies and television with the youth.
Hypothesis: Interactions with the youth involving pop culture could prove beneficiary within the therapeutic milieu.
And this is where the experiment of my theory begins... wish me luck

Quite the Beast
This is my first blog of this year and from a laptop. Honestly I don't like the idea of owning this gargantuan. Day One: Straight out of the box, this HP Pavilion dv7 is technically used for school. But I'm a 30 year old gamer. The 'shift' key is much too close to the '\' key. Yet I cannot complain about the built in number pad...
UPDATE: The end of February is creeping up and I am getting used to awkwardly carrying this 17'' laptop. I don't care much for the weight of carrying it around even though this is for used primarily for school work. I am happy to say this much dear reader when I graduate from college I will make use of it an alternative to using a game console.
I swear I will wake up one of these days and another console system will creep up. This is something that I cannot deny as something bound to happen. Maybe it won't happen soon but in the future. Technology is always improving, someone is making things better.
All in all, this beast of a laptop won't be rule over my life. This is one of the few things I vow will happen.
