R.I.P. to the lost ones...This one's for you Sintia!!!(NOTE to Part 1)
It was my intention to make my last post look like a poem. Hint HINT!!! ;-)
R.I.P. to the lost ones...This one's for you Sintia!!!
I am going to piggy back on Jordan's approach on today's blog.
A little over two months ago I lost a loved one. It all started thinking that she was just going to a salon and then a meeting at work. Come to find out she never made it to the meeting. So everyone started to worry. Sunday morning it was confirmed that Sintia Mesa was missing.
The bulletins on myspace.com helped me and the family get the information out to everyone
and anyone about Sintia. Within the hour I was reaching out to people I didn't even know with
the help of those that I knew. Everyone was helping us find her within three hours. Friends of
friends of friends were posting information about her and getting the information out to all those
they knew. Information about her has shown up on the nightly news that same night.
With the news out on watch as well as everyone on facebook and myspace keeping a look out
we had a community of people helping us.
Monday night we received the bad news that she had been found in the trunk of her car in an
apartment complex in Baltimore city. Her cause of death had been found as asphyxiation A
couple days later at her funeral more than five hundred people showed up, from friends and
family to coworkers and sorors. News spread so quick so fast thanks to those internet
networking tools.
******************************Virginia Tech******************************
Without networking and such things as myspace, television news and radio, people would have
a much harder time finding information and knowing what's going on around them.
Today and yesterday there was a moment of silence dedicated to the lost ones at Virginia
Tech. It is horrible and terrible to even begin to think why someone would do such a malicious
thing to others, having to leave the families of those individuals in sorrow. The pain inflicted on
the loved ones of those who were massacred is a pain no one should ever have to endure. Losing
someone is bad enough, but losing them as a result of someone else's selfishness is even worse
because they are taken from us before their time.
********************LETS HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE******************
THANX FOR STOPPING BY!!!!!

My Brand, Brand Me
How would you brand yourself?
I was very attached to a particular clothing line in middle school, which was Tommy Hilfiger. Now I don't really stay loyal to a particular clothing line and I just wear what looks good on me.
Sometimes clothing brands are just overrated and not really worth all of the HOOPLA that people give them. When it comes to other things such as toothpaste or hygiene products that is a different story. I stick to Colgate toothpaste instead of Crest because I like the flavors Colgate has to offer compared to Crest, besides Colgate is the overall better toothpaste. LOL! *;-)* Also the shoes that I tend to be drawn more to are the Kwiss brand shoes because they are priced pretty reasonably and they are comfortable. Have you tried Kwiss?
When it comes to branding myself. I wouldn't want to say that I only use a particular brand of something because I often like to change and experiment with different brands and products. No I am not a Tommy Girl anymore, in fact I don't even like Tommy anymore. So I would just brand myself as ME not anything else!!!

Everyone's building their own bridge
In order to succeed in the business world one must have connections. And yes it is true what the saying says: "It's not what you know. It's who you know."
Building individual bridges for everyone is a business in itself because it allows you to be connected to other people who may at one point need something from you, which then you would be able to negotiate something to exchange.
Building bridges is very important because slowly and easily everyone becomes connected and through interests or commonalities. These being those bridges.
Being able to find a common ground with someone you don't know is a bridge in itself because it is giving you the opportunity to identify with that other person or persons on a similar level/platform.
This is very important for not only business, but for such fields as journalism and public relations.

Hurray for TOM KYTE!!!
Last week in ITEC-333 we were introduced to a very intriguing individual who works for Oracle.
When I first walked into class I thought "Oh no, not another boring guest speaker," but surprisingly enough Tom did a great job in being very informational without being boring. The thing that I liked most about him was that he had stories for just about anything he had mentioned during his presentation. And they were all good ones too.
Tom also made me realize that a lot can be accomplished through Blogging, in specific- finding a best-friend. He talked about how some of his most closest friends are people in which he bloggs with and at one point I also believe he had said that the majority were in Australia. ***Correct me if I'm wrong***
He showed us how popular and well known he became by blogging as a hobby through the company. The blogg which the company has named after him was not his job, but his hobby.
I particularly found it funny when he mentioned how some people didn't think Tom was a real person and that it was all a marketing stunt compiled by Oracle.
Tom is AwEsOmE!!!!
