For You Clark :)

Ohhhh Propshition 1

I am attending Vote No on Proposition 1 on Facebook.  This makes it official.  I will admit after speaking in class with some students, started to question my own opinion.  Buuuuut after asking questions with my fellow genius blogging class I am back on the right side of the fence.  I do not believe that increasing student activity fees is a completely disgusting idea, but the fact that the money is going to our not so amazing football team is, no disrespect.  It does sound like some of our athletic departments do need funding but I think a better proportioned amount could be handed out.

Our Own Educated Okie?

Kurt Hochenauer recently joined our class to help give us some an inside scoop on his succesful blog "Okie Funk."  I actually checked it out and although it is quite wordy, very interesting.  I also like his links to other similar blogs.  He was a pretty cool guy, pretty laid back and totally liberal which is hard to come by outside of a higher educational institute in Oklahoma.  He wasn't shy about his opinions and totally participated in our question answer part of class, even the ones he made a funny face about after hearing.  He was a good sport.  His blog has been very succesful and has landed him a side job, he made it very clear that he did it for fun only and not to make money.  I like the fact that it is ad free and not just a sell out of good thoughts.  We liked, come on back now ya hear'.

Guest Speaker and Huffington Post.

We were fortunate enough to have a guest speaker in our class some odd days ago.  She was very interesting and gave some light on how blogging is coming around to be a real profession.  I still have mixed feelings about journalists being linked from the newspaper site to their personal blogs?.. I, in a way don't want to really know their personality.  That is why they are a journalist and not a commentator.... On the other hand, ratings are slipping and we must give people what they want.  What better way then letting the journalist become a personality.  I have mixed feelings, but I'm not a journalist so what do I know.  Maybe one day I have an actual opinion but for now I will continue going back and forth. 

Meh, on AOL buying Huffington Post.. I, I .. I really don't care.  Its not as if they are the number one most reliable paper anywaaayyy.  I do however hope that they keep their "swag" the same. hehe
Good Day for now.

In class we were supposed to find professional blogs to follow as well as our classmates, it didn't take long before I found two that were very interesting to me.  The first one is called Small Hands, Big Ideas.  It is a
mix of ideas, inspiration, career goals, and relationships of a woman in her twenty something.  She writes about things that are easily relatable for people of my generation.  Last week she even blogged about the importance of blogging in todays world.  http://smallhandsbigideas.com/

Another cute blog I found is called Good Girl Gone Blog.  It is a blog more focused on fashion, photography, food and good shoe deals.  It is just a cute blog that focuses on the unimportant, important things. :) http://thegoodgirlgoneblog.com/

I am completely confused on why this is a bad thing?  I think that the guy has the right to write whatever he wants and the parents and citizens sound like they need to listen to what he has to say more than anyone.
Here is his actual blog.
