Meanwhile Back at Mammas- Tim McGraw



April 30th 2017


Tim McGraw has always been one of my favorite singers not only because of his voice but also because of his songs. All of his songs have meaning behind them and especially this song. This song sticks out to me the most and it is especially one of my favorites by him. It tells a little story that almost everyone can relate to. This song is about a small town family that is doing what they do everyday, having a family dinner and spending time together. The song is so simple and that is why I love it. It means so much to me where that every time I listen to the song, I always think about my family. In my house, I am the only child living at home. My brother and sister have started their own family and don't live with my parents and me anhmkre but they still leave very close by. When the song talks about "meanwhile back at mama's," it just always reminds me of my happy place. I don't think of it much when my sister or brother come over unexpectedly almost everyday because this is still their house no matter what. And with this song, it makes me reflect when they come over with their kids and spouse and we all have a good time by barbecuing and just talking. It's the small everyday things that mean the most, even if it's something you don't necessarily realize how much you love and take for advantage. I love spending time with my siblings and my family and when his songs comes on, it just makes me realize how lucky I am to have a caring family that all loves each other. My favorite line in this song is, "funny the things you thought you'd never miss,in a world gone crazy as this." Just like the song says, it really is funny how these simple things that we all take advantage of, we are going to miss them when they are gone. When i go to college, I will especially miss the random visits that are now normal when my brother and sister come over because it is like they never moved. A mother's home is so special to so many people because it's like people's security blanket and when it's finally gone, people get the chance to realize how much they truly loved what they had and how they'll miss it because they never got a chance to appreciate what they had. With this song, it had me realize how important my home is and where i come from is because when it's gone, it's gone and all that's left to do is miss it.

Is Online Dating More Beneficial?

Image
May 12th, 2017 Within the past few years, online dating has become more of the norm in our society. A few years ago when sites like Tinder were first being introduced, they were very out of the ordinary and a lot of people were very skeptical of them. However, as our society continues to advance with social media and other technological advances, it's not as out of the ordinary as it used to be and in fact it is actually pretty common to online date. But I have always wondered, does online dating really work? Is it really more beneficial to make a profile about yourself in hopes that someone clicks on it and find you with taking the chances that this person could not be real? According to The Telegraph UK , the whole concept of online dating, is more likely to last than "regular dating." The simple fact is that people like online dating because it gives them a chance to be who they want to be behind a computer or phone screen. They don't have to hold back who they ...

My current realtionship with media

Image
April 24th, 2017 I would be lying if I said that I spend very little time on social media. It really has impacted my life to where when I wake up, I go on it, before I go to bed, I'm on it, and at any other time throughout the day, I am usually on it. I use Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter the most out of every social media website. They allow me to keep in touch with my friends and see what they are doing and for them to see what I am doing. I would say that because I spend so much time on it, in a way it has helped me become even closer with my friends. Social media makes it a lot easier for me to talk to my friends everyday when I am not at school, when they aren't at school, and just outside of school in general. I am able to talk to them a lot more at school because a lot of the people I don't see everyday because I don't have classes with every one of my friends. It has even allowed me to make new friends that usually go to our school. If it wasn't ...

reflection

June 11th, 2017 Writing up these media blogs, have really made me reflect on the way I see and use media. I still continue to use the same amount of media but now I am completely aware of it. I spend a lot of my day on media, specifically social media websites like Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. Because I use media so much throughout my day, it makes me a lot more aware of what advertisers do to our minds. Recently on Snapchat, advertisers have put more ads on this social media app. Before, there were absolutely no ads but as I watch someone's story on it, ads for other apps begin to pop up. When I'm scrolling through my feed on Instagram, I notice how sneaky advertisers are. They put normal pictures on my feed that makes it look like I am following this person which causes me to actually like the photo and unknowingly read the description about this product. Also, on YouTube, there's almost an ad for a product before every video I watch. I never realized how ...
