The title of my blog, C'est Suri Bon, is a lie. It's not all good. It's never all good. I thought about changing it, but decided to keep it. Might as well try to make it all good, right?
I just recently got back from a weeks vacation with the family. I was staying with my grandparents, who don't have a computer or wi-fi. It was definitely nice to take a break from Facebook and Twitter and all the other websites that waste my time. But to be honest, by the end of the week, I missed my laptop. It's good to take a break, to have days where you just shut the cell phone, computer, and everything else off. But a week was a long time for me, and coming home to find 50+ emails wasn't too exciting. It made me think of this generations need to be constantly connected. But I'm not going to talk about that, I've read to many articles about teens and their obsession with texting and the internet. Yes, we get it that we probably spend more time on the computer than we should, but it's annoying to be constantly reminded of it.
Anybody else notice what's up with Christofer Drew? For most people, he's known as NeverShoutNever. He was recently in Alternative Press and there seemed to be quite different views of him. Some people thought he was great, he believes in his music and not what the industry is saying, stuff like that. Others say he’s a jerk that doesn’t care about his friends and is a druggy (he’s admitted to smoking marijuana). Seeing as I’ve never met him, it doesn’t really matter to me, I just like his music…. in the video the pictures are of Chris
Speaking of music, has anybody else noticed how our music industry has gone down? I don’t listen to the radio anymore. It’s all the same annoying songs. I can’t tell you how many times I try to listen to the radio in hopes of proving myself wrong and all that comes up is “Riding Solo”. *sighs* There are many incredible bands out there *coughNeonTreescoughPanic!AttheDiscocough* but they are never on the radio. Another thing, is the fact that everything has gone digital. I read an article about it in Alternative Press, and it really was fascinating. I’m not that old, but I remember that if I wanted to hear music from my favorite bands (granted, it was Disney, but I was young) I would have to buy a CD. I would listen to the CD and know all the songs, then put another CD in. Now, with iPods and MP3 players, you can have thousands of songs with you at all times. I admit, it is extremely handy, and I love having my music with me everywhere I go, but there was almost something special about buying a CD. You couldn’t listen to one song from the CD then put another in for another song. There was some sort of figures too, it was like that it takes like 1.000 downloads or something to make up for the profit of one CD. I don’t remember what it was though. I have to say that without my iPod I’d be lost though, especially when I need to drown out other people.
