What do you think of when your tired and need some energy? you could go to sleep, but at times when you don't have the leisure to do so, you usually of think if getting something that will give you energy. We're all tired in the mornings, i mean its just a fact. Day after day i see someone (won't name names... Matt) get a huge thing of MONSTER ENERGY DRINK and chug it down so he can have enough energy to last through Ms. Moise's dreaded Chemistry 2 class which happens to be 1st hour. (yeah, i know... not fun.) But that got me to thinking, if the school sells coffee here, why is it that students (not just Matt) go out their way just for a simple energy drink.
There really isn't any question as to why so many people love monster. i mean honestly... have you tasted it? no, seriously have you?.... have you? The flavor is rich and it has just enough kick to make you want more. But that's not all that's in there. It has Caffeine (much like coffee), L-Carnitine, Taurine (whatever that is), and good old sugar. It hypes us up. Its designed to keep us up for hours. Coffee on the other hand, is supposed to give us energy for hours, but only after a FEW cups! most people just drink about 1-2 cups. That's nearly not enough to last for a while. Plus, coffee gives you a temporary sugar high that is short lived and you end up crashing. This is a problem, because in today's society it is imperative to keep moving, from early morning till late night.
But this still doesn't fully answer the question "why are they so amazing?" and "why is it better?". I asked a few people why and the results came up that 1. it tastes WAY better 2. its cold and you can buy the can and 3. it gives you more energy. It also helps you think, due to a key ingredient: Ginseng. Though Monster has caffeine like coffee it has better ingredients and does not give you the after feeling like coffee does. I personally drink Monster XXL (not inteded for children under 10th grade), and i find that it does help me stay awake longer and that i don't crash as hard, or fast, as I do when I drink coffee. I like it more than coffee and it does in fact taste better.
So in all this, it seems like people like Monster more and it is better for you. But like coffee it should be drunk in moderation. That doesn't mean stop, it just means that drinking 2 or 3 everyday isn't the best idea. 1 every other day or 2 a week seems resonable. But hey I can't make that call for you. I know I'm probably still gonna drink 1 a day.

Blog assignment #40
Ah blogs, its the one thing everyone tends to think about whenever someone else mentions journalism. They help us, they hurt us, they're updated daily, blogs are a part of our life. If it were not for blogs, everyone would probably fail the class. This blog is for you Ms. Melancon. I hope you like it.
Now when it comes down to it, blogs are an essential part of our grade in journalism. Whether it be yearbook or newspaper, everyone sits there staring at their computer wondering why in the world the blog seems to take forever. It may just be that we're too lazy to do anything, nah, that can't be it. But truth is, most blog assignments take either a whole hour, or more to do. This is not an easy task seeing we already have other stuff to do in other classes. The thought of doing blogs at home is simply preposterous.
No one wants to do homework at home. Yea it's called homework, but doing homework actually takes away time from our day. Time we could be using for other things, like projects we have in English or other subjects. Doing blog after blog after blog is just tiring. Not to say that its all bad, I mean some are fun. Most of them are fun and creative, they just take so long and by the time anyone is finished over half the day seems to be gone. This is causing the youth of America to become slow and lethargic in their thinking, this leads to poor grades and even angrier parents. (not that your to blame, im just saying just saying it to say it)
If no one does anything about the blogs, students fail and privileges are taken away thus creating a tiny home prison for the student. However, if one does try to attempt to do a blog assignments they spend over half the day looking for things that they think pertain to the subject at hand. Its not always easy to find pictures, Google isn't always reliable. But that is neither here nor there, because the fact of the matter is that blog assignments are here to "help".
So with all that said its safe to say that most students hate doing blogs on a daily basis. It would be much more comfortable to do one, every other day, or once maybe twice a week. The pain and agony of the children are depending on it. Thats pretty much it.

Ah yes, Facebook. It's name brings smiles to people's faces.... hence the name FACEbook. Memories of fun times on "fbchat" and laugher at statuses run across one's mind whenever its name is mentioned. This is not an easy task. To say that this one little phrase, this... this one little website, that brings joy to over one million people is the whole reason for its existence.
Facebook is a site that was originally designed for only college students who wanted to keep in touch with their friends and teachers. Though it started out of a small dorm room with only two college students as its administrators, it has grown to over a million users, both in college and not in college. Its layout is simple.... you log on, and a screen that shows you a list of friends comes up. Within this list it details all that your "friends" are doing. It displays anything from where they are at a certain point in time, to who they are dating (or not dating) and what that person believes in.
Most people who join, use it anywhere from 12 am to... 12 am. yes a whole 24 hours. It seems that people are always on facebook. Even if they're not, they have a tab open with the line "Facebook- Home"! You can't run away!!!! it has gotten so bad that there are even sidebar gadgets and widgets that allow you to access news feeds and statuses right from your own desktop! IT IS IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO BE ON FACEBOOK EVEN ONCE A DAY.
Now this may be helpful, in the aspect that you can catch up with friends whom you haven't seen in a long time, or just know what "lil kid from across the street" is doing almost every second of everyday. I mean after all, it was intended for people to keep up with what is happening with their friends. But it can also very harmful as well. People have become so addicted to facebook that they literally put every single detail of their life on there. Now if someone wants to be stupid and get stalked, that's on them, but how many people overuse facebook and post like twenty to thirty statuses a day? Tons of people, if you wanna know. Facebook can be seen as a invasion of privacy to some and a way to get stalked by fat, old men with nice hairy beer-guts.
yes, yes, yes I know, I know. That's mean, but it's the truth. So there it is.... there is the fact of facebook and how it is. Don't ask me why it's like this... it just is. And that's all i got to say 'bout that. (Forest Gump, people come on)
