ENGLISH 12 JOURNAL ENTRY

"Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight" – Alexandra Fuller

So far, in Alexandra Fuller's "Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight", we're introduced to a family who has immigrated to Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe) from Great Britain. The family describes the environment as intense and brutal. In spite of such hardships, the family moves here from Britain to escape, a working-class world. As described in the story, in England, there are no opportune chances to rise up the caste system and through higher social ranks. They believe moving to the African colonies would provide a greater chance for social economic hope and prosperity.

R. Graham Rockwood
1) Have you heard this person sing? If preaching politics was lyrics then I've heard numerous symphonies from the guy.

Once a technology-trend hits the front page of a newspaper; the, so-called, "trend" is simply commonplace. The newspaper company is trying to go assimilate into the zeitgeist of the 21st century. Ultimately they are months, in many cases, years too late.

Take the lovely Washington Post. I suppose they need a laughable article to cope with their tacky front-page layout. But of course, the article needed to be about teen life and that, pathetic attempts to try to show how horrid and intoxicating technology is on this young generation and how every damn moment must be spent reading a book or living life as if it was the heydays of grunge.

The story is about a new, "hip", and "modern trend" in terms of grounding teenagers for when they do idiotic teen activities, or as they call it: having fun and chilling. Facebook, texting, not Twitter and PlayStation 3/XBOX 360 have long been the culprits of teens being punished for poor grades, bad behavior, and so on and so forth.

WaPost states obvious (yet again) regarding tech and teen life

Major League Soccer did a special little "behind the scenes" type of video, similar to the ones that USSoccer.com does. Wasn't so fond of the music, then again, no one was I would imagine, but they nabbed a few good angles along the pitch to offer a more introspective version of player's emotions. 

Highlights: RSL vs. Cruz Azul

What a spectacular time of the year it is. For (myself) the thirteenth time of the "First Day of School", and all that reuniting of seeing your friends, and catching up, and well that's all dead thanks to Facebook and its fellow contemporaries.

Speaking of which, thanks to these wonderful pieces of tech
