Le Tour De France!

Now that the Tour is officially over...it is time to really talk about it. I'm super mad about Alberto Contador winning. Andy Schleck had such a good chance. If only his chain hadn't broken on one of the last few stages, then he could've won. That's just my own view though.

On to the more pressing matter! The issue during the final stage of the race with Team Radioshack and their unregistered jerseys. I don't know if anyone watched the last stage but at the beginning it was ruled that the black jerseys of Team Radioshack were unregistered and if they were worn during that stage, Radioshack could be disqualified therefore losing their lead in the team standings. The jerseys were black with the number 28 on the back representing the 28 million people who lived with cancer throughout the world.

Let's Tweet!

So far I've been way ahead of this whole thing. I got a Twitter account a long time ago when it was actually something big. Now it's not really anything cool anymore. When I first started using it, it was kinda interesting. I don't really remember if it was easy to get or not. It can be connected with your cell phone so when a certain person tweets, it can be sent straight to your phone and you don't have to go on Twitter and look at what everyone says. It's not really cool anymore but I guess it's cool that NOPL is starting to catch up a little. =/

World Cup/Tour de France!

Spain won the World Cup! Can I get a woop woop? The game was amazing, despite the brutal attack to the chest of one of the Spain players delivered by the Netherlands team. Yellow cards were given and waved aside as the game continued. It was by far an exciting game but not as exciting as some of the other games such as the game between Brazil and Chile. After that game, I was so rooting for Brazil to win this thing again but maybe next year. Overall, a good World Cup. Now on to the Tour de France! Armstrong is done...GO ANDY SCHLECK!!!

Things 5,6 & 7!

Facebook, Myspace, Bebo...What are they gonna think up next? I have Facebook and Myspace, I've tried some of the others but I don't like them. Probably just cause I'm not used to them. Not my cup of whatever.

Facebook is my big thing. I've had my account for a few years now. Never really wanted one but everyone kept telling me to get one so I finally bowed down to the peer pressure and got it. Oh well I suppose. I used to be on it all the time but now I'm not. Don't have as much time as I used to. It's connected through my AIM account, cell, and Itouch so I don't really need to get on alot. It's good for reconnecting with people and if you're super bored. If you compare Facebook to what it was when it started and was meant to be, it's alot different now.

Myspace. Oh Myspace. Thank god Facebook bought them out and they're going back to just music. I have a Myspace and I used to be on that alot til Facebook took over. Soon something else will takeover and all these popular social networking sites will be back to what they were meant as.

Social networking is a cool thing and I like the idea of it but sometimes I think it's taken a little to far when there are so many different networks with the exact same plan in mind...to reconnect old and young, family and friends, to bridge the distance gap between everyone.

Time to discuss things 3 and 4...I think

Well...this is about the oh-so-popular IM and Skype. I've been using them both for years. I use AIM which is really cool because through this one program I can stay connected. My AIM and Facebook accounts are connected so I can see who's online on Facebook without actually being on. In turn, AIM and Facebook are connected through my phone so everything gets sent there. It might seem pointless to do this but it keeps me informed. When I'm not stuck at home, I don't go on either very much so this helps me alot.

Now Skype on the other hand...is connected to my Itouch. It's cool I suppose. Skype is super easy to use. My grandparents use it which means literally anyone can. There is no excuse! Just saying. It's cool to get to talk and see someone that you don't get to see on a daily basis, like a long-distance partner or friend and even your family. With these kinds of apps and software, it's easy to stay connected to people you love or even hate. Lol.

Random Posting!

I think I might use this more frequently just to post random things besides the 23things. They might get boring real fast. I've been fooling around with the design settings and I like my layout so far. Might keep it, might not. Anywho...WORLD CUP! Did you watch the USA v. Ghana game today? USA got their butts kicked but it wasn't an unexpected loss. Ghana is good but not as good as some of the others. Excited about the next few games. Can't wait for the final Cup game. It's gonna be tight!

RSS FEEDS AND BLOGS!!!

BLOGS

So...I'm still not partial to the whole blogging thing. It'll probably grow on me eventually. It's interesting to see what kinds of things people are posting on here. I think blogs are more for people that like to share their life with the world, not for people who tend to not be as expressive as some.

RSS FEEDS!
Forget the blogs! Let's move onto RSS Feeds. I like these. LOL. They make things alot easier because I tend to have a lot of websites and things to check up on on a daily basis. Whatever makes my life easier, I use it! I think they are handy things though, easy use for everyone. I can search through the headlines of the World Cup without having to read all the article on the page. Just skim through them and be done with it! That way I can stay up-to-date on everything going on and still be able to watch the games whenever I'm not working. It's great!
