WEEEK 2

I heard about people complaining about how they wanted to be in love or have a relationship with someone they can love with. The media bombarded us about romance since we've been watching t.v. The media makes people try to believe that you have one soul mate, one lover that you will love for the rest of your life. In television, music, and even the news they allude to us that love is real and it makes everyone happy. For the example " I Love New York" on MTV. They had a woman being indulged by a bunch of random guys and in the end she falls in love with one of them. Or the other reality show, " The Bachelorette" they had a bunch of girls try to woo a man over and in the end he will marry her because he fell in love with her.








The media digs a hole into our brains making us believe that love is real and everyone needs it. Another example would be Romeo and Juliet, they one met once in their life and somehow they just knew they were soul mates. The media makes us feel like we need someone in our life to lean on to and someone we can have reassurance to. I know a real life situation, where my friend was trippin' really hard when his girlfriend dumped him. Whenever we would drink, he would break down in tears. I tell him whats wrong with you there are plenty of other girls everywhere. He just replies, "I don't care, I fucking love her!" I believe the media really did play a role for him breaking down so hard because it was his first girlfriend and in our group of friends everyone has a girlfriend. So I think he believed that he had to have a girlfriend and the first girl that ever gave him that much attention was the only one for him.

A video that just described to us about how the media ruined you life with love.

Media Autobiography

My background for books are really vague. I wasn't into the whole reading thing throughout school. The only time I read was when I was forced to read a book that the was being discussed about in class. I never  really read casually, but I'm starting to read more. I'm not a big fan on newspapers also, I only look at the ads from time to time. I only read newspapers when I had to do current events for school. Also I don't like reading newspapers because they make my hands dirty. The only magazines I mainly l read are Esquire, tattoo magazines, and magazines about cars. Sometimes I read my girlfriends magazines too. I really like to watch movies. I really like comedy, romance, and mind-boggling ones. The best movie I saw in 2011 was "No Strings Attached" starring Ashton Kutcher and Nathalie Portman. I'm not a fan of gore and horror, I can't really take that kind of stuff. I listen to the radio everyday when I drive. I only listen to music though, I don't really listen to anything else. I think car rides would be so BORING if there was no music playing. I used to watch the t.v. everyday but now I'm usually out. I used to watch a lot of cartoon stations like nickalodeon and cartoon network. Now from time to time I watch things like Spike, Fox, ESPN, MTV, VH1, and other reality shows. I don't really watch the news, except when my parents are watching. I use the internet everyday. I think the internet is one of the best technology in the world. I read online, I watch movies online, I use Facebook a lot, I go online shopping and basically I do everything online.
