Path

As I stepped out of work yesterday, I noticed a lot of my friends posting pictures on instagram in regard to a new application called Path. I downloaded the application and let me curiosity get the best of me. As if social networking couldn't get any more personal, Path combines Foursquare,Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr with a twist. It gets even more personal with the ability to post what music you are currently listening to and even to the extent of when you sleep and wake up. It has a timer which determines how long you sleep. This is a new evolution of social networking that revolves around an individuals life 24/7. Skeptical? The good part is, its used for personal friends and family only to keep in touch as well as keep a journal of your "path's" together. The basic newsfeed is a timeline of yourself and your friends combined. I personally like the concept and will demo the application for a month or so before permanently becoming a member. This application honestly highlights how much people today resemble cyborgs. Our lives are constantly posted and tweeted and privacy is transparent. It's an interesting technologial world and as time goes on, we only get sucked deeper in. Enjoy and share your feedback :)

Music Is My Savior

If you haven't noticed by now, my life revolves around four major things; technology,basketball,love and music! Even before I was born, my mom used to watch MTV and I would kick her stomach to the beat of "Don't Speak" by No Doubt. I have always had a passion for music. I grew up listening to Will Smith's "Welcome To Miami" to Kenny G. I acquired a diverse taste for music from my mom and have given music a steady place in my life. I listen to all genres of music and listen to certain music to match my moods and emotions. For example, I listen to soft r&b as I close my eyes before I sleep to rest my mind, but I play rock and hip hop at the gym to pump my blood and give me the motivation to run the extra mile. Even during my daily commute, I have my ipod in hand and look out the window as my music paints the perfect picture of life for me. Music adds a soundtrack to life and makes life more enjoyable in my opinion. It allows me to express my current feelings without saying a word. I relate to lyrics and beats which is easier and more soothing. I am always open to listening to new genres and artists as well as expanding my never ending Itunes library. Music is one thing I will never let go of forever and it helps me live life every single day. What kind of music do you listen to? Feel free to share your favorite music with me and look out for my song of the week every friday! :)

A Cruel World

Chicago teens charged in fatal beating posted on Facebook
After reading this article, I find myself questioning morality and people in general. How can young teenagers brutally attack an old man for money,let alone record it and share it on Facebook? What has society come to? The poor old man supported a family of 12 and was in an alley for the sole purpose of collecting cans for money. He had a work disability which kept him from working a stable job. First of all, stealing is a bad enough crime, but brutally attacking an old man and on top of it recording it for pure amusement just kills my heart and hope for a better world. It's people like that who keep this world far from a utopia and they deserve more than just a jail sentence. This happens every single day, maybe you will help support morality as well as stop future issues if seen. This story is a heartbreaker and I had to post it because it portrays one of the many examples of how disgusting our society has become.

My Daily Life

As I write this post, I am currently commuting to my business internship in Morristown, New Jersey. It's about a 2 hour commute from home, but this opportunity is worth it. I work at Artech Information Systems which is a temporary staffing firm offering fortune 500 and fortune 1000 companies with consulting solutions. I help with the business development research and am learning from hands-on experience. I personally enjoy this opportunity and am appreciative to begin work in a business field at young age. Overall, I am learning fundamental skills which I can apply to my own personal business plans as well as understanding the process corporations use to communicate and make valuable relationships. Thank you for reading and staying up to date on my life.
