Communication

As a communication/pr major  I am forced to take every type of communication class known to mankind. Oral communication, Communication and Community, Advanced Public Speaking, Argumentation, Conceptualizing Communication, Intercultural Communication, Communication in the media...im getting a headache just listing them...This means that I should by next May I should know how to communicate in every context....  :-/ if only I paid that much attention in class instead of browsing the internet (kidding...kind of) that would probably be true. Although, I could argue that if my COMMUNICATION PROFESSORS were BETTER COMMUNICATORS I would be more interested in the class than pushing refresh on the yahoo.com main page to see what's new on their "Features" section...you can learn a lot from there by the way...

Anyway, we are all always communicating, wether we realize it or not. The way we present ourselves, body language, what we do, what we say, its all communicating. So what makes a competent and effective communicator? And why is it that whenever someone asks what makes a good relationship the answer is always: Communication. What do you communicate to others?? Whether you realize it or not you are always communicating something about yourself, and most of the time you don't even have to say a word. Scary right? So ask yourself, what are you communicating to those around you??? What does communication even mean?? Sure, I can type "communication" into google scroll down to about the 2nd or 3rd result and click on the merriam-webster online dictionary definition...but that does not tell me about the concept of communication. I don't believe that it can be written into words, so I'm not going to even try. This leaves me to wonder....what does my blog communicate to YOU...yes YOU...about me?????? So many questions...so little time...life.

Au Revoir!

Technology = Unsatisfaction

So I was forwarded this video in an email and wow...so true...We are so lucky and yet so miserable? Is the advancement of technology going to lead us to a lifetime of unhappiness? No matter how much we have or how easy someone has it, they are never satisfied. We are always looking for more... I got frustrated this morning because it took my computer 10 seconds instead of 2 to load my emails... pretty sad...

Why Blog?

*Facebook Chat at 1:33pm*

Me- "I think I want to start a blog today"

O- "u should!!! What about?"

Me- "I dont know, i was thinking ill just start with my random thought for the day or things that interest me and then figure it out from there"

O- "Yea that'd be cool"

Me- "For example, todays topic would be women and relationships" (see next post)

O- "Hahaha"

End Convo.

So there you have it, a 20 second convo on facebook chat, and my dream last night about blogging (random) has lead me here to my blog to share my thoughts and feelings on this thing we all do called living... ENJOY! CIAO!
