Michael Jackson Died and My Facebook Discussions About
Ok, so we have all heard that Michael Jackson has died, right? Well, I find it hard to understand what would make anyone (besides immediate family) cry uncontrollably about it. Don’t get me wrong, his life was a rollercoaster and to see an American icon die is never a good thing. I just cannot think of a single person that I DO NOT know personally that would warrant that type of response from me emotionally.
After hearing the story from 10 different people and television stations, I log onto Facebook to check out the daily hub-bub between my friends. One was wondering if Jesus would get the same kind of reaction from the masses, as Michael Jackson is getting so far. The discussion was intelligent for the most part and it really was mentally stimulating. Most agreed that Jesus would get the same “following” if he died in this time.
Others were trying to backup the fact that Michael Jackson is an icon and known worldwide. That doesn’t mean that Jesus isn’t known, but he is NOT worldwide. There were comments that it was pitiful to honor such a sick person, a “pedophile”, drug addict and all of these things are correct. But in today’s society, celebs and stars take on another roll and are honored with much more passion.
I think it has to do with the fact that celebs are “seen” by everyone and children and young adults have NEVER connected with Jesus the same ways they have connected with a movie star or celebrity these days.
New Facebook Application – Beat Your Time at Friend Matchup
I have a new facebook application that I would like to share with you. FriendMatchup is a simple application takes your friends images and arranges them behind blue boxes on the screen. As soon as you click on one box, the timer starts and you are racing the clock in a game of memory.
You are then supposed to match 2 of the same images and the timer will stop when you are completed. Once you have finally matched all of them up, your time is posted on your profile in the sidebar for your friends to see. If you go fast enough you will be named a “genius” and if you are too slow, well, let’s just say you don’t want to be called slow 
Check out the facebook application here and don’t forget to review it and become a fan! Pass it along to your friends and see if they can beat your time.
ConFicker Worm = Lights Out!
Well, not really. The “worm” is supposed to be released at midnight April 1st and cause all kinds of havoc throughout the interweb land. I just don’t see it happening. And why are you all concerned over ONE worm? Throughout the year, worms and viruses are released all the time and nobody makes a big deal out of them until their computer is crashing every day.
So, now the news is picking up on this hub-bub about the ConFicker Worm and the whole internet population must watch out!?! What happened to Y2K? Exactly, get all the hype and hoopla out there and cause a big stir (anti-virus software sales are up for sure) and watch that nothing really happens.

At least, nothing that is more of a big deal that Adaware or MalwareBytes software can detect. Yahoo reported there was ways to protect yourself, which included FREE downloadable software! If this thing is such a big deal, then why is a FREE anti-virus software enough protection?
I rest my case, see you tomorrow, or not
Did You Watch the Debates?
I have a real hard time watching things like the presidential debate. I am not sure why, maybe it’s because I will NOT keep my attention on the event long enough for it to make any sense to me. I am also struggling to find the ONE thing that would make me vote and make me feel like my vote “counted”.
Do you know what I mean? Have you ever been in this situation? The country is in ruins and they both claim they can make “it work”, but I really haven’t seen anything remotely convincing.
I think I might have to take off the blinders and really give a listen to what they have to say, but at this point, I am not sure if I can choose the “right guy for the job”.
Are you having issues deciding who you are going to vote for?
