     On Facebook I always considered everything to be a story. Some stories more absurd than some and some actually interesting. I wished that people were more honest, not fully to the point where you tell your life story but saying something that is real. I consider myself untethered compared to many others. For example: I deactivated my Facebook for a month. This was one of the best things I have ever done. According to truckle she says "these young people live waiting for connection". I say forget a connection, connect to people who you really like and people who really like you. Facebook sickens me sometimes people with thousands of friends they have never seen or known. Suddenly having mutual friends mean your friends ummm definitely not. I just feel what happened to originality, is that somehow uncool now? In my opinion
    Everyone is an avatar. Identity issues I call it because shouldn’t we all be satisfied with ourselves and not try to create something that is not even us? Well I love myself (dust shoulders off)  for those who don’t love themselves; Facebook won't help you at all. I though me joining Facebook in 9th grade was for only college people now it's open access I wish it was a selfish site for only college people, but then again people would lie about being in college so nope that won't work either. ehhh lose lose situation. all this talk about social networks and all this hooblah is annoying because I see it as a simple thing. Note to everyone: separate yourself from social sites don’t become too consumed you only have only life to live, gosh relax take a chill pill.

Watching the matrix was deeper than what I thought it would be. I thought it would be just a typical silly movie about a fake world that had no relations to life. But it sure proved me wrong! The elements of the movie were the same as every book in the world. (don’t quote me on that) but it had a hero, the hero had an issue, the hero had to make a decision sometimes felt guilty if he/she did not become heroic etcetera etcetera the end the hero saves the day. And we all feel fulfilled by the end of the book/movie. Well sometimes I'm hard to pleaseJ.
             But I did like the matrix I was able to see a couple of truths to this movie. Neo wanted to find out what the matrix is and he had to go through obstacles to find out the codes. In life if you want to find out the truth you yearn for then you will just have to be heroic enough or "the one" to unlock whatever you want to find. No it will not be easy, but life is harder than a rock sorry to burs your bubble and fantasies that you may have about ponies L  but back to this unreal movie "the matrix"
                I mean I think the story is not feasible as far as the whole virtual world but then again this generation has controlled their lives through all sorts of social media that I wouldn’t be surprised if I found out tomorrow there was a virtual world called matrix  and people were trying to unlock some "codes" (silly). what I do think is kinda sorta feasible is how one can predict how they want to see things happen and how social sites can help some people live out their internal fantasies. Though this may not seem safe I guess this is feasible for some virtual people.
