East Coat Earthquake

Oh, no, oh dear! We're so not safe anywhere at anytime!

Anywhere could be earthquake country, not just good ole Cali-land of sunshine and surfer boys and Hollywood glitz and glam! Factoid (for all you history buffs out there!) There's an earthquake once every century on the East Coast. Last time was in 1944. Tbis time around it goes from Georgia (in the South) to Canada (which is all the way to the North). Holey moley! It had caused one hella destruction leaving nothing untouched.And then there aftershocks after that.... The poor East Coasters. I have family out there. I hope they're alright.How there be a earthquake (not to mention a hurricane) so huge, so powerful-maybe that's the BIG one. Is it cause of global warming? Will Obama sent help? If he doesn't, it will be like Hurricane Katrina all over again.

Yea, you feel so helpless watching news online or on television about some horrible tragedy like the earthquake and might wanna do something to help. Do something worthwhile for the cause-it may or mayn't be global warming, but you can still go out there and help the middle-class East Coasters who are now inevitably homeless or you could just donate whatever you can. Think of the children-our hope for tomorrow. Be hopeful that there will even be a tomorrow.

Life Before Mass Technology

OMG! What was life like before hi-tech gadgets ruled the airwaves? Wait, it wasn't all that long ago! Holey moley, we kids have fun the old-fashioned way with slinkys and yo-yos and jumping ropes and hopstoch and playing tag for the girls. For the boys they played basketball, football, etc. At school. I played kickball, volleyball, etc. We had good simple fun.
We didn't IM, text, talk on the cell without people saying our phone it's surgically attached to our ear! It's was rude to talk during dinner, if only we made it quick I had the pay phone at my high school and could use the receptionist's phone  if need be at my elementary school. I only talk on the phone with a real person, not just chat online (could be sex offender, who knows?) Payphones are obselete and people text all the time even during dinner, classes, work, etc.  To sum it up, they text during inappriate times.
People were cowards now cos they're not into bully face-to-face; instead they do it online, which is a billion times worse. Bullying is hurtful either way. Bullying is ganging up on another person.
Technology has been advanced for better or for worse. I've listed all the cons. Now here goes the pros.
Well, I can watch movies online (Thank you, YouTube! and Netflix!) and shows I've missed. I can chat on Facebook but I would give anything-anything-for face-to-face contact. I can email my friends and learn different computer programs online.

Technology has its uses, so don't go abusing it!
