Technology that empowers me!

Music. A huge thing in my life is music, I love everything about it. The way it sounds, the variety and the way it makes you feel. Some songs just make you feel stronger, and better. They inspire me to do things I usually wouldn't. The beats are so catchy that it just makes you want to move. I also love how the different types of music, make you feel different. The rhythm sometimes makes you feel slow, and some, more alive. I usually like listening to up beat songs, with meaningful lyrics. The make me feel stronger, and more alive, they give me the the "umf" to get up and do things. Music motivates me mentally, physically and emotionally. That's what I love about it. It makes things easier, and makes time fly by when I'm doing something I don't enjoy, such as chores or homework. Music truly empowers me more then anything, music is great. :)

My Down Time...

There are many things I do when I'm not texting, e-mailing, calling, chatting, or Face-booking, I just don't do them that often. I'm so use to my cell, computer, t.v, laptop, and radio I probably haven't had down time in weeks. During my downtime I love to sleep. It's fun and relaxing. If i could sleep all day and not get hungry I defiantly would. When I'm not sleeping, I like to walk my dog, Play soft-ball, hang out with friends, and travel to Comox and Courtenay to visit my family. All of these things may seem like a lot, but in reality they are very little compared to how often i text, e-mail, chat, and talk on the phone.

What Empowers Me.

Something that empowers me is my laptop. It makes me feel independent because I can do whatever I need to, whenever I want. I can put necessary information on it, with out worrying about anyone seeing it. I always have it to myself and no one else in my family is going to use it. I can do my school work, such as look up anything or type something out on Word or PowerPoint. I can also go on Facebook or any other sites that I can interact with my friends. If my cell phone is ever dead, I go on my laptop so i can talk to my friends or family that way. If I never have anything too do at home, I always go on my laptop, because it is something that relaxes me, and gives me downtime. Since I have my laptop, I can put my pictures off my camera, so I can transfer them onto Facebook. I really like doing this from it, because it goes on quickly. My laptop is always very useful when I go away on road trips or on a plane. It entertains me, because I can also watch movies, or listen to my music from it. I can also go on the Internet, if I have a wireless connection. If I am ever on a trip, I can look things up, like directions or local attractions. I love my laptop, and it is very useful to me in many ways.

Down Time

On my down time, I like to hang out with my friends (which i have very few of) but mostly my family. I enjoy playing rollerhockey. I also enjoy playing squash with my mom and my brother every Monday at Comptons gym. I really like to bike and just go off on my own and ride my bike were nobody can see me. I enjoy doing tricks and just going really fast.I also like to watch television at night because thats when all the good shows are on. I like to listen to music while I am just sitting there doing nothing or doing my homework which we get very much of so I listen to music alot. I really like to wrestle with my brother or play with my dogs puppys when I am bored and have nothing to do. I actually mostly text and go on the computer and keep up with my friends and get there info so I dont behind in all the gossip and drama going on within my age group.

What I do in my Downtime

When I'm not on the Internet or on my phone chatting or watching TV I usually go hang out with my friends and house. I like to go into my room and play with my things. Other times I go hang out around town. It's mostly hanging out with my friends at my house, their house, or around town. When I'm not doing any of those things I'm just in my room taking a nape or just resting. Those things may seem like alot to do to pass the time but it's not much compared to surfing the Internet or watching TV.

Downtime

When I'm not doing anything, you will probably find me playing guitar. You already know that I play guitar because of my previous posts, but because I have to write about what I do in my downtime I will write about guitar. Guitar is a big part of my life. I play half an hour to an hour a day, and then an extra hour on Wednesdays for lessons. In total I play, maximum, eight hours a week. I can play all the major and minor chords. I can read tablature, and if I know the song really well I can sometimes write it. Tablature is like notation but instead of notes it's a series of numbers on a staff. Well, that is what I do in my spare time.

Empowering Technology

There's a lot of different types of technology that make me feel confident in myself, but most of all it is my cell phone. It's a Samsung Instinct. I feel safer when I have it with me. If I'm ever in trouble, I'm confident that if I have my phone, I will be able to phone somebody and be okay. Also, on my phone I'm able to go on Facebook and Youtube. It's a great phone to have, and I'm able to do so much with it, so I feel 'empowering'. I would normally say my laptop makes me feel more confident, except for I can't take it anywhere and it's also busted. I love this phone, even if it doesn't slide in and out. It's just great.

My downtime WOOT

Most of the time I have my cell phone with me. This past Christmas I got a new laptop. So when they are dead I usually do something to occupy my time. The things are Playing Sports, being with friends, sleeping or doing homework.

The two sports I play are soccer and Softball. I have softball 6 times a week. Soccer I have 3 times a week with Nicole and Maddie. I love going out with friends. I don't know what I would do with out my lap top and my cell phone they are actually a big part of my life. I love them so much. Sometimes i think it is better if i had a rest from all the technology. I will think I am on my laptop for a hour then look at the time and its 10:00!i!

So that's what I do in my downtime.

My Downtime

I live on a big hill where there are not many cars going by, other than the ones who live on my street, so I usually have the street to myself. In my downtime when I am not on the computer or gaming I am biking around my street or playing basket-ball or hockey. I also do my homework, occasionally, but in the end I do eventually finish it. I also have a pool table in my house so sometimes I play pool with my dad, my mom is not very good at it. My dad and I are also into playing darts so we bought a dart board at a store I can not remember the name of. My family has recently bought a work out machine so almost every morning I go on the bike for about 20 minutes to burn of the ice cream I had last night, I don't want to fat and then get called to go on to the Biggest Loser show. That is my downtime at my house.

What I Do In My Downtime

In my downtime, instead of playing on the computer, games stuff like that, what I usually do is either trace or colour drawings, plop down on the couch and either have a snooze or cross my legs ( lady like) and turn on my new television and watch the "Magic School Bus"!, sometimes my mom yells at me to do chores, because it takes me a little while to get off of the couch. When I was young I used to play heroes and villains with my sister, she was the hero and I was always the villain like "The Penguin" , one of Batman's arch-enemies.
