Technology and Familes

Americans have been known to always be on the go! Achieving success in the real world and living out the American Dream is the norm for many of us. Habits, religion, culture, and our enviorment, truly shape who we are as people. Yet there is also a huge missing peace to what makes us humans that co-exist and realtionships we hold with others. The word family may ring a bell to many ears. Mom, dad, siblings, and extended loved ones hold special places in our hearts. However, in the 21 century technology has seem to creep its way into households like in-laws, it just appeared and you have to basically learn to deal with it. Suprisingly many of us like technology. Its convenient, fun, and becoming necessary if you havent realized it yet. No longer are familes sitting down to eat dinner together and discuss whats going on in eachothers lives. More then likley moms on the web shopping for new shoes, dads checking his stock from an iphone, little Jimmy is playing madden 09 ps3 online with people from across the world, and sarah is on her blog gossiping about the Jonas Brothers new cd! So is this what a family should be doing? Is this even a family? Or has technology become a member of the family..... I mean lets think about this.......Who actually cooks dinner? Mom or the slow cooker crock pot? Who finds alternate routes leading to the office at 8 am without hitting any traffic? Dad or tom tom the GPS system? We must face it! If you can check your MRI results from a cellphone then what really is the world coming to? Maybe the world is coming to a new beginning? Its wouldnt be bad to say so. Now new technology is fine and well for Americans but what about our loved one? Our foundation, who were here before we even knew what a blog was! I think family has truly fell between the cracks of trying to dvr Greys Antomy and chatting on Twitter. But what about in the 1950's, when family had much more meaning. Families discussed topics that took place in the community, the economy, and in eachothers life.

120 yards of pride?

120 yards of pride?

By Jamirra Taylor

College life can be full of excitement, memories, and lessons one will never forget! However having a football team whose luck wouldn’t be betted on is not something to take pride in. After purchasing textbooks, laptops, and reviewing the syllabus students become optimistic about watching a home game. Yet the optimism at North Carolina Agricultural and technical State University has lost its flare when it comes to the players
What Students have to say
“A&T has a lot of spirit but I think it will take more then spirit but I think it would take more then spirit to when a game. Our football teams needs help. I'm not sure if it’s the coach or the players. As I ride by the football stadium I shake my head in disappointment knowing that my school will loose” said Marquisha Steadwell, A Junior Biology Major
What Alumni Have to say

“Although we won last week's game I doubt if we will win anymore games, because of the 27 game losing streak A&T,said Cameron Chamers an Alumni Student Psychology Major "Our football players need to stop partying and start practicing. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to win a game. This is disappointing that I have been at A&T and graduated and I can’t remember the last time we won a game. Our team is a hot mess. Point black period!"

whentalkingisntenough

I lived a pretty good childhood
Considering the fact that i lived in one of the most dangerous city in the US
I rest my head in camden nj
My parents tried their best to keep me occupied but the streets were calling me
I had to explore
I got to see the good and bad of life

I remember one day i was walking home from school and I saw what looked like a body hanging from the dumpster.
Like a dummy i went to get a little closer to make sure my eyes were correct
Yea it was a man
The smell of blood damn near killed my nose
In his hand he held a needle....
Need I say more

I remember they shot in my house.
My mother was layin on the couch and I was in my room upstairs
Randomly somebody just started shooting

One time I was coming home with my mom aunt and cousin
As we open up the fron door I saw a red light
A cop possibly SWAT
Yea I think it was SWAT cause he had on so much stuff like not an actual police uniform
He had on a halmet
He told us to get down on the ground
I didnt know what was goin on!
When i got on the ground I could see into my neighboors yard and a man was hiding under a van.
I think he was hiding from the cops or SWAT
The man hiding started to move
And then he started running
All the cops started yelling
Red lights were everywhere
A gun that had a skinny extending burrow or something with a red light on it
I cant really explain it well cause I was only 12 when this happen but all I could remember was the red light

It makes me sick to my stomach to be immune to the sounds of guns
But I guess people cope with the unreal

I remember being about 10 years old
I went with my cousin to find his mom
When went into the old house
Which now i know was a crack house
It was the first time I seen base heads
Begging for more
Dying for just another hit
I think something in me died that day
Something along the lines of fear
We found his mom all cracked out
Man it was ugly
Her eyes were yellow
Lips purple with white shit on them
Man I think that shit scared the fear out of my ass
So when talking isnt enough then what...
Im talkin yall so is anybody listin?

Awomanwitharealsoul

I'm a woman
But honsetly I dont have a man
So what am i doing wrong?
Am I being to eager?
I mean im not perfect at all.
I have flaws just like the next girl.
But I try my best to stay on my grown woman
So what is a nice guys really looking for?
Long hair, big ass, and a brain full of shit?
I take pride in being intellectuall and go against what soicety feels is how i should act or look
Im not really a people pleaser so i guess that leaves much room for me to please myself
Its been a long road whith me and relationships and I have learned that its almost impossible to love someone else more than I love myself.
Cause Ive tried and its a quick way to kill your soul
I loved him so much i forgot what it was like to love myself
I didnt know my ass from a hole in the wall (lol)
Like i was really losing myself and only gaining him
This all ended in him leaving me
But i realized without him I was still here
Yea i felt empty inside but i soon was able to mend my broken heart and move the fuck on....well almost (lol im working on it)
But anyway
If i was giving him my all then why did he leave me?
I guess the problem was him not me right?
So should I give my all next time?
I mean whats the point of truly falling in love for someone and you cant give your all?
Im a person who puts 100% into everything
So why cant guys do the same?
Guys only want all the benifts and put in no work
Us women do all the caring, cooking, sexing, put up with the bs, want to but know damn well we can trust him, guys always wanna have their cake and eat it too! Im not male bashing just tired of the same old same old.
Who will break the mold and set a new path for males to follow?
Damn
Woman do a lot but we cant teach you guys how to be men
All woman want is a little bit of respect
Maybe some sweet words
Love
Just love us
