Test
While I'm really interested to find out how this whole 72 hour thing is going to pan out for me, I'm kind of bummed. When the whole 'no music' thing came up, I was waiting for the teacher come back with "Just kidding." No such luck! Saturday's at the j-o-b are really slow and I listen to my music, my weekends are my peak texting and calling times, and I watch my shows "Dexter" and "Californication" on Sundays. I guess I will start planning the weekend and making sure that I find time to watch my shows on Monday. Good luck everyone!

Testing
Okay I'm testing out this blog thing to make sure I do it right. I'm not a blogger : ). Mass media is a major part of my life. I'm not gonna like doing this at all. The project starts tomorrow so I thought I'd post a blog today saying what type of media I use everyday so you fully understand how much this weekend is going to suck.
I listen to my ipod almost everywhere I go. To me it makes the time go by fast and trips to places more bareable. I'm even listening to it as I'm typing this out.
The tv is my world. I watch it in the morning and as soon as I get home until I go to bed. I know it sounds lazy but I dont just sit down and stare at it. I have it on while I do chores and things like that. Sometimes I fall asleep with it on. Its werid. For me I have to sleep with some kinda noise playing or else I have trouble sleeping.
Movies are going to be hard to abandon. Mostly because I work at one so... It's okay though. I can wait until next week to see Armored and Brothers.
I'm a major myspace person. I like to see what all my friends are up to, plus its my way of keeping in touch with them. When im not on myspace I usually surf the web for movie information. I dont have a Twitter. I think that thing is werid so I dont have to worry about not being able to tweet people.
My phone is like my right arm. I text more then I call people. Again, I like to check up on my friends and see what they are up to. My family and I text each other for little things like "I'm Outside." or "Dinners done".
I think thats about all.
This project is going to be awful. My generation needs their technology. We've had it since birth. We were programmed to believe we need all these things and we do.
I'm going to try my hardest not to give in. The only comfort I have is knowing Ashley can't tweet : ).
I'd tell her to text me when she starts getting that withdrawl but well you know.
Project starts in 14hrs and 45min. Good luck my friends.
