Gaming Gone Wild


Everyone plays video games at some point, but not everyone lets them get in the way of doing other things which are more important. Some people become obsessed with or addicted to video games sometimes, which causes them to lose time for things like school, family and friends. Video games are something you play with for fun and shouldn't be a huge part of a person's life or part of their daily routine, unless they really have the time for them. However with school, family, friends, and other parts of your life, there is probably not enough time to play video games every single day. People need to limit themselves from these games once in a while if it's taking time away from other things.

People like Brandon Crisp, who run away from home when their parents take away their game, have a gaming addiction. He may have been a good student in school, but he let video games get in the way of his relationship with his parents, and caused the loss of his life. Video games can be a distraction or hard to get away from once you start playing. People playing video games should know their limits and not let them affect the more important things in their life.

The Campaign Trail


OBAMA :) Obama and his campaign team took a fairly well-known commercial and turned it into something serious which the people living in the U.S. could relate to. From a funny and rememborable commercial advertising "Budweiser," it became something that made people think about who to vote for carefully and realize that anything could happen, including a change. In both commercials, they had the same men except in different situations.


The U.S economy has not been doing well within the past few years, resulting i n extreme problems affecting many American citizens. Now, the citizens are facing hardships such as the ones showed in the commercial. These hardships in the commercial include hurricanes as well as the after affects, global warming, the war in Iraq, the stock market crash and the increase in unemployment. The people in the Budweiser commercial seemed so happy and care-free due to Budweiser. But the people in the election commerical faced struggles and in the end, they saw Barack Obama as their way out of the economic crisis and all of their problems. They seeked for Obama's help and Obama was capable of convincing them that he could help change the condition America was heading for.
