Enough is Enough. Leave Tiger Woods Alone.

For the past week all I hear on the radio is Tiger Woods. OhEmGee guess what happened to Tiger Woods????
I. Don't. Care. The amount it's been on the news, on the radio, you'd think a disaster has hit the world. Ok, maybe I'm exagerating but it's almost as bad as the Jon & Kate Plus 8 scandal. And that was bad. They even talked about making a movie out of it. But that's besides the point.
So he got in this accident. Maybe he cheated on his wife. (I haven't really been following). So I know cheating on someone is bad, but people do it. He's a great golfer, he gets paid a butt-laod to golf, and he made a stupid mistake. One that's done many many times a year. This nation's obsession over it is just killing me. Do we really care that known golfer Tiger Woods potentially cheated on his wife? Does the publicity really help him out? Can't we just leave his life alone? For that matter can't we just leave all celebrity's lives alone?
In this time all he needs is to be alone, and figure this out on his own with his wife. If he cheated, shame on him. But I don't think the world needs to know. Needs to discuss it like it was their brother's doing. We don't know Tiger Woods's personally. So we shouldn't be discussing his personal matters.

I know we'll never stop being obsessed over celebrity's lives. I mean come on, it's great junk reading material for anyone. But it just disgusts me how certain matters get so much publicity. I just wish we wouldn't care. Wouldn't want to care. It's just unfair. It's like he'll never get a second chance, it's all people will ever care about. Oh Tiger Woods? Yah, he cheated on his wife. He's a bad guy.

Farmville Beats All. Facebook Rules All.

Browsing AOL as usual, I had a topic in mind already to write about, but when I saw this article, titled on AOL as "69 million play 'Annoying Game'" I just had to write about it.

As I found out reading the article, 'Farmville' is this 'annoying' game. Now, I don't play Farmville, and I never intend to so I don't know too much about it but I do know that it's addicting. You have to keep watering and harvesting your crops or they die. Gasp? I also found out that this huge surprising number of 69 million players, beats Twitter's number of users. Really?

But another part of the article caught my eye as well. Facebook is taking over the world. Hence the picture. Don't worry world! I'll save you! Anyway, apparently the number of users of Facebook is more than the number of people in the United States. It also has more than the/the same (depending on your source) number of people on Wikepeida, Ebay, and Yahoo. That really shocked me. It really showed me, once again, how much the internet has changed our lives.

Facebook is my life. And it's horrible. If I need to contact someone I might text them, but I might not have their phone number or think they'll get to facebook quicker (and I'm usually right) so I inbox them or write on their wall. I rarely get birthday invitations in the mail anymore. No, I have friends. I just don't get paper invites anymore. I get events, groups, or inbox invitations. I miss paper invites, they're much prettier, but I'll admit it. The inbox and event invites are easier because people can discuss what's going on and ask questions, and everyone can see if they have the same question as well, get it answered, etc.

This worldwide spread of Facebook is daunting. I'm shocked, but I get it, the website's useful, it really is. The Farmville spread however is just too much. There could be users that aren't active in the game or the website, but that still leaves a lot of people. Do you play Farmville? Are you surprised by the numbers? What do you think of the spread of these websites and games?

The Night League Phenomenon

I've never been good at basketball and the whole "Night League" thing never crossed my mind but today I found myself pulled to a game after being recruited randomly by some senior girls I know from cross country. I heard of it being intense but I really had no idea.

When I get there I find teams in the same color shirts, or even made shirts, war paint, sweatbands, all out. Our team had a color but we werne't intense or matching about it. Since we don't play basketball our goal was to just have fun, score a least one point, you know just have the experience. Yet, the team we were playing against was the exact oppostite. They had gotten a pizza place to sponsor them and had gotten sponsor shirts with their name and the pizza place's name on it. Really? You have a sponsor for Night League? I commend the commitment but it brings me back to a reacurring theme in my blog about competition.

To go as far as getting a restaurant to sponsor your school intermural basketball tournament I think is a little insane. Maybe I'm just new to this. What I wonder is where do you cut the line for this? Night League is the talk in school for as long as it runs but how compeitive can we be? What's your view on Night League and the competition drive it brings to the school?
