Super Bowl Snack

This is the dish I made for Super Bowl Sunday. The dish contains Cilantro. Red onions, Tomato, Lime Juice and Salt. I had some hero bread with olive oil on top to go with it. The bread was also broiled in the oven.

Digital Nation (Review)

The documentary [digital nation] was very biased and upsetting to me. It seemed like every scene bashed the youth. The documentary states that we are slowly loosing our intelligence because we are so dependent on the media. It was like our parents were telling us we were wrong, and that we do not know anything.
Every generation does something new that the previous generation doesn't approve of. The way we live out lives will always change, and it will always be harder for the previous generations to approve of that.

Parents and Media

I just interviewed my girlfriends mother(Victoria), and I asked her questions about the media. I mainly asked what she thinks about the media and how she limits it from her kids from the media. Victoria stated that she does not have any negative views about the media. Victoria said that she is all for learning about the media, but she doesn't have anybody to keep her up with the media; because her two daughters are already in college.
Victoria said that while her kids were growing up, she let them jump into the media world, but still raised them in a classic structured home. When Victoria said classic home, she meant that her kids wouldn't stay home all day watching tv. She would have her two daughters run around outside all day and spend summers at grandmas house; rather than staying home all day being a couch potato.
Victoria stated that her daughters are already grown up and she can't really stop then from getting lost in media. Victoria simply feels that she can't stop the media and the rate it's going. She said that she is going to live her life at her own paste.
