Week 7: Internet

There are at least 15 different networking sites that are listed on Wikipedia. I have heard of a lot of them including facebook, twitter, myspace, nexopia, hi5, orkut, Friendster. I have never heard of Mixi, Multiply, XING, Skyrock, renren, cyworld, and iWiW. Out of all the social networking sites I use only Facebook. There have been a number of times where I have gotten in trouble because of immature facebook status updates I made so I constantly get reminded by my aunts and uncles to tone things down when it comes to language. There have also been advantages because sometimes you get requests from friends that you haven’t seen in a long time and its good knowing that they are doing well and the fact that you could still keep up with them.

Week 5: Movies

My favorite movie of 2009 had to be The Hangover. I remember going to the movies and I wanted to see another movie that was out at the time but we ended up watching the hangover and it turned out to be my favorite movie for 2009. The characters in the movie (especially alan) were the best part in my opinion. I watched it again a few weeks ago on DVD and it was still pretty funny.

My favorite movie of all time has to be Lord of War. I think I really liked this movie because it actually tells it how it is. The movie follows a business man who begins selling guns for a living and it follows him along his journey to the top. This movie is entertaining, funny, and realistic (to some extent).
