There was a day that was rainy and beautiful. I had final exams to worry about but all I could think of was how lovely the rain was. Coincidentally, I found my camera that morning. I wanted to capture all the beauty of nature and the feeling that the rain brought about. I found a friend and ventured outside, but the rain had paused. We took a picture anyways. View on lookbook.

Musicians on TwitterPosted by Re in Media, Technology, tags: Culture, music, Technology, twitterI have two twitter accounts. With one of them, I follow upward of 700 people and use the account to share information and learn about the internet world. I don't check it everyday, and I certainly don't read every tweet. On my other account, I follow my friends and other people who I actually want to keep in touch with and talk to on a regular basis, as well as organzations I care about or want to get constant updates from. I only have about 70 people that I follow from this account, and I read every single tweet as it comes to my phone. One of my friends (@bigsamthompson) recommended a few people to follow because they have interesting updates, including @iamsh4wn and the musician @johncmayer. I followed these from my more personal account, since I wanted to actually get and enjoy their tweets. While I do enjoy John Mayer's music, it's not my favorite. His music is not why I follow him. I follow him because his tweets are fun to read, and they make my day a little brighter/thoughtful/something. However, since he is a "famous musician," smaller bands piggyback off of his fame. I've had a few bands/singers/songwriters that I've never heard of start following me, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've followed them back for now, and a couple of them have interesting things to say. However, they also mention their music a bit more than I'd like. Also, since I've followed a couple of them, even more have decided to add me. I'm not really sure how I feel about musicians on twitter trying to get more people interested in their work. I feel as though twitter should be a place to connect with your existing fanbase, or even people who don't really care about your music but think you're an interesting person. Does anyone else have opinions on this matter?

StigmaPosted by Re in Life, tags: contemplation, Culture, life, people, thoughts, watchingI am intrigued by the girl that is watching us. She has been watching us all evening.
I went out to pick up some craft supplies in preparation for Valentine’s Day. In order to get to my car, I have to take a shuttle to the parking lot that freshman at my college are required to park in. This shuttle happened to be 20 minutes late today. By the time I got to the store, it had been closed for three minutes. Not wanting to have gone out for nothing, I decided to run by Safeway to do some grocery shopping. I found nothing that I wanted and completely forgot to grab more water bottles, so I still have nothing to drink in my house. Not to be outdone by chance, I decided to stop by Ruby Tuesday and grab dinner to go. Let’s just say that didn’t go to well, and I now have pasta sauce everywhere. I’ve been trying to balance everything in my life recently. School and work have been hard to get used to, and I’ve already missed an assignment in a class. I’ve gotten interested in photography again, and am thinking about buying a new camera. I want a higher quality camera, but I’m not quite sure what to get. Ideas?

Something ElsePosted by Re in Life, tags: company, high school, life, story, teenager, thoughtsI’ve been paying an extraordinary amount of attention to the internet the past couple of days. I’ve been reading blogs and becoming much more immersed in twitter. I’ve actually payed attention to a little bit of news, and realized that there is actually a lot more information available than I thought – which is saying something. I would like to take some time to go on a tangent about fifteen year old girls. There is a certain company I know of owned by a fifteen year old girl. The company is exactly what you would expect – they sell necklaces and other jewelry, presumably handmade. While I can appreciate the initiative the company has made, I don’t think that owning said company is enough to lift the owner to rock star status. Maybe I’m wrong, but I personally don’t like being told to “stfu” by a fifteen year old business owner because they aren’t near a computer to unfollow me on twitter. I never told you to follow me. |
