Picture yourself walking along the beach. You see the banner saying "FREEDOM FAIR" waving. The smell of hot dogs and ice cream waft on the air. Fellow Tacomans surround you. You see a strong built man in ripped camo pants and a black T-shirt. Out of the corner of your eye, you see a flash of red, white, and blue. A flag tattooed on the back of his neck. You think nothing of it, just another guy.
But then you think.
To be so proud of your country, you want to wear it every day of your life. That really is amazing. Unafraid to show your pride to everyone. We can all say we love our country. But to embellish it on your skin forever is true dedication. So good job to you, the man with the flag tattoo, for daring to be yourself. For daring to show what you believe in.
Happy Fourth of July,

Blogs
Since I started a blog, I've wondered why people have blogs, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etcetera, and why we enjoy reading them so much.
I think we make blogs and "etcetera" so that we don't feel quite so alone. You like dogs? Wow, so do I! Let's be Facebook friends! Your favorite color is purple? Me too! We can follow each other on Twitter! It's all about making general connections.
With online communication websites, it's easy to make friends. Click, done. You can live in France and have your best MySpace buddy live in Australia.
But is the ever-growing technology good for our need for human interaction?
I'm not prejudice against electronics. I can't live without my cell phone and I love my computer just as much as the next person. But a social butterfly such as myself needs to socialize with real people. Call me crazy, but I need face-to-face socialization with my friends. With all this new technology, we've already nearby stopped reading newspapers, let alone sent the hand-written (yes, I said hand written) snail-mail. More people are clicking "Inbox" than they are unlocking their P.O. box.
I'm not saying go out and dump your computers, I'm just saying out of all the things your parents said, this is one thing they were right about. We can still have e-mails, but not everything you get your mailbox isn't junk mail.
Forever,
MoMo

Disney
Like many girls, when I was little, I loved the Disney princesses. We all know them. Ariel, a mermaid who dreams of living on land. Beauty, who kisses the beast and lives happily ever after. Cinderella, a servant girl who dreams of going to the ball and marrying the prince, which she later does. As I have grown in age and knowledge, I have come to see that all of these stories are the same.
All these stories have the same plot.
Not only that, all of the princesses are slender, beautiful, popular, and they all get what they want.
Hmmmmmmm...
Sure, kids love the princesses. They are famous for being the timeless classic that every little girl loves and dreams of being. But is that good?
I loved the princesses when I was young. But now, I despise them. I think it's terrible that they are all rich in the end, that they all get what they want in the long run. Is it fair to market that to children?
I don't think so.
Love,
MoMo
