I just want to say that I really enjoyed this unit (even though I finished it late. Nyehehejeje). I liked how I didn't have to be serious and formal all the time, because it's a blog!!! I can type however I want (at least that's what I think it is...............................). Anyway, it was a real stress reliever from the other units because I was allowed to just type what I thought, and be me. I didn't have to be serious Abbird, I could just be regular silly Abbird teheh.
Ok Mrs. P*w*ll, if you're reading this I feel sorry for you. Joke, hi :D here are my comments on other peoples blags:

#6 Web 2.0 and YOU!
Technology is growing up so quickly :') ... or should I say down? Computers used to be like this
And now they're like this
And now they're like this
It's like the curious case of Benjamin Button. Computers, are like Brad Pitt. How poetic.
Over the years people have managed to create all new languages and codes because of computers, and over time people have also managed to rid themselves of good grammar, and vowels. With all the emerging technology, people are getting lazier, and lazier. It's no surprise that they start making shortcuts for words like 'lol' 'brb' or 'g2g.' If these abbreviations didn't exist, would you actually truthfully find yourself texting '"Laugh out loud no way!!" probably not right? LOL. People are even forgetting to add vowel to some of their texts, "k, txt u l8r" they're replacing words with single letters, replacing letters with numbers?!?!?! WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END?!?! When will people learn the appropriate times for "your" and "you're?!"
These different forms of technology are changing, and changing fast. As they change, people change; we start using these different forms of technology to do multiple things. For example, we used to use house phones to talk, type writers to make documents, nintendo 64s to play games, and tv's to watch shows, now we can talk, text, type, play games, and watch shows on the same devices that play and store our music!! Web 2.0 is trying to get us to realize that this new technology is a more convenient way to communicate with friends, family, and others.
#5 A Look at Music Videos
Payphone - Maroon 5
When I first watched this video I cried, because I didn't think that it was possible for someone to look so good in a suit and tank top (is there a different word for mens tank tops?). I felt so bad when Adam had to leave that girl that looked like Taylor Swift (I'm just gonna call her Taylor Swift) behind like that. He grabbed the gun from that guys belt, dodged bullets from all the other bad guys plus the cops, and escaped the bank, just to save her. Then he stole a car (Wiz Khalifa's) so that they could escape together, but instead got into a high speed car chase, cornered by the cops (and I'm gonna say SWAT was there too because there was a helicopter), blew up one of the cop cars, escaped again, drove to someplace underneath a bridge, met up with Wiz Khalifa [who is apparently homeless (with a really nice car)?], blew up Wiz Khalifa's car, and dialed a payphone to call Taylor Swift after he left her squatting behind a car...shoeless, just to get no answer. How tragic D: That's okay though, more Adam for me :D nyehehe.
I think that the use of guns in the video represent oppression. And when Adam told Taylor Swift to take off her shoes, it represented how those shoes oppressed her feet (what were they? like three feet high?). When I listened to the song before the video came out, I thought the song was about a girl he left back home when he became famous. I never pictured that it would be about a man who became a fugitive to save a girl's life, when he could've just saved the girl, surrendered when they got out, explained the real story to the cops, and lived happily ever after. I guess it was all the action movies that were coming out that influenced the way this video turned out. Or maybe, Maroon 5 was just sick of cheesy music videos for love songs. Can we even call them Maroon 5? How about Adam Levine and 4 ugly guys nyhehe just kidding. Don't tell them I said that. Please.
But in all seriousness, I gotta say that even though the story line was bad (?) the song was good, and Adam Levine was goooOOoooOOooooOOOOd.
