It's some "interactive" video thing that's been going around that's supposed to scare you into being smarter about what you put on the internet. Going to the website (not the CNN article I just linked) will get you to a site that asks to connect with facebook, but it says that it deletes your information right away (which it does). Once you connect, a video plays showing someone stalking you via brute forcing your account. God, and it was bad enough just having people see what you post publicly... anyway, it shows this disgusting looking dude getting angrier and anrgier for some reason, then using google maps to search for your address- which most people have on their profile. This wasn't too creepy for me, I only publicize my city and state anywhere, and all he searched for was Sierra Vista, AZ. Good luck finding me, dood! Save fo

Balancing Act

I'll be the first to admit, I'm bad at bashing myself. Not like self mutilation, mind you, but nitpicking about stupid things I don't like about myself. And where does it get me? What can I do about them? Not a whole lot. Granted, I don't verbalize it that much, but I'm always thinking something needs improvement. Why the hell do we do this? We keep looking at the negatives instead of seeing the awesome big picture. And you're always you're own worst critic, so it's not like anyone else even notices half the things we hate about ourselves. But others can tell what we take pride in and are most confident about, so why not focus on those? The big three things I have a problem with are mostly just genetics and by chance- nothing that I can help, so I shouldn't act like it's a problem. And I'm a big believer that for every negative thing you think abotu yoursself, you should remember a positive so you can realize how good you really have it!
