Review: Facebook.com

Facebook is an awesome way to keep in touch with friends. It's very much like Myspace, only for college kids. My school, Gardner-Webb University, is on the site, and it allows me to keep in touch with friends from my old school (Summerville High School), plan parties and events, and leave notes for my friends. Recently, I planned a party, invited people, and had a good sized RSVP list within about 15 minutes. It's incredibly useful.

Review: "Cute Overload!"

Of all of the websites on the internet, there are few that put a smile on each viewer's face. Cute Overload manages to do just that, each and every day. I found the website by going to bored.com. The website focuses on cute photographs and videos of animals. Dogs, cats, and other animals are posted each day. It's a simple concept: adorable animals doing adorable things. It's easy to get caught up in the sweet photos. There have been times which I've stayed online just staring at these photographs. It's a really entertaining website, and I highly recommend it!

Review: The Tyra Banks Show

Tyra Banks is amazing. A former Victoria's Secret model, she is now a busy woman. She is the host and creator of America's Next Top Model, and also hosts her own talk show. Many people think she tries to be Oprah Winfrey, but I'd tend to disagree. She is her own person, and doing her own thing. When Oprah used to be new and young, she did investigative journalism as Tyra does now. Now, Oprah has the opportunity to relax and chill out with celebrities, without worrying about ratings. Tyra is not a replacement for Oprah, and she doesn't try to be. Her shows hit such issues as eating disorders and abuse, and she always seems to have the right view on things. Tyra is AWESOME!

Review: "Next" (Part 2)

I wrote a bit about "Next" a while back, and I've decided to post the second part. Here's the last part of that review!

So the girls wait on the bus, and cattiness is high. The first girl to go leaves them with a smart-aleck remark, and stands in front of the bus and poses. As she’s posing, 3 statistics about her show up on the screen. They are normally the strangest things possible. For example, as one blonde hair, blue eyed girl posed in front of the bus, these statistics showed up:

-Loves to bite her toenails
-Can’t stand the name “Greg”
-Wants to strip on the moon

When the guy meets each girl, he can say “Next!” at any time, and the next girl will come out and replace the girl that he’s with currently. Almost every time, no matter what, the guy says “Next!” to the first girl. She normally says something like, “Yeah, I didn’t like you anyway!” The guy comes onscreen and says something like, “ I was looking for a girl that I could take out to eat, not someone I’d be worried would eat me!” This comment almost always goes along with the view that almost every girl is fat.

As the rejected girl walks away from the guy back to the bus, a woman voices over yet another corny line.

“Mark wanted someone fit, but Candi’s body just wasn’t a hit!”

“Mark was looking for a girl with long hair. Mandi’s noggin was just too bare!”

“Mark envisioned a gorgeous beauty. The only good thing was Andi’s booty!”

Oh, those lines make me sick.

The guy goes through the girls, one by one, until he finds one he doesn’t mind hanging out with. They hang out for a while, and at the end of the show, the girl has the chance to go on a second date with him or take one dollar for each minute she spent with him. The choice varies, but when the girl chooses the guy, the viewers are supposed to believe that they live happily ever after.

This show is the most ridiculous, most unrealistic show I’ve ever seen. The corny lines are abundant, and overused. If you ever are clicking through the channels and see this show, don’t waste precious minutes of your life watching it. It’s a waste of channel space.

Review: That 70's Show

That 70's Show is pretty much the greatest show to grace FX's lineup. Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, and (my favorite) Danny Masterson. It follows a group of friends through their lives in the 70's. There's the self-absorbed girl (Jackie), the dumb foreigner (Fez), the smart girl (Donna), the dorky guy (Kelso), the semi-responsible guy (Eric), the laid back guy (Hyde), and Eric's family. Kelso usually creates enough issues that need to be dealt with in one episode, but sometimes they deal with Eric's family issues and Hyde's legal issues. Each show is full of laughs, and generally easy to relate with. I don't ever watch it and have a hard time believing anything depicted could actually happen in real life. Generally, it's an awesome show.

Review: My Super Sweet Sixteen

MTV has some interesting shows. Usually, they are incredibly shallow, and hard to relate to (such as Next! and The Hills). Such is the case with "My Super Sweet Sixteen." The show focuses on 15 year old girls who want to throw a huge party in honor of their sixteenth birthday. They pout if they don't get their way, they whine that they need a Lexus or Mercedes. Amazingly, for such an irritating show, it is very interesting to watch. It's easy to get caught up wondering what kind of dress the girl will get, what kind of car her parents will buy her, and how extravagant the party will be. Although it is a horrible waste of money, it really is a guilty pleasure, and almost hard not to watch.

Review: Myspace.com

In this day and age, websites are just as entertaining as television shows and movies. For this reason, I've decided to review a website as one of my blogs. Myspace.com was created by a man named Tom Anderson in 2003. Within a few months, it exploded into an internet phenomenon. It has changed the face of the internet, and many spinoffs of the site have emerged since. Nothing has come close to being as popular as Myspace. Facebook.com came out as another communication website, but never came close to being as popular as Myspace. Myspace is great for allowing an avenue of communication between friends and family. I use it to communicate with my three sisters, although my youngest sister doesn't always allow me to view her profile, for one reason or another. It's also a way for me to post photographs that I have taken, and show what I really enjoy. I write blogs as well, and update mine every few days. Myspace is a great form of entertainment all around. Everyone should give it a try!
