My Facebook addiction 

Hello world! I hope you all doing well.
For this blog I want to share with you my Facebook addiction story, and I believe some of you will relate to some of the stuff I'm going to talk about.






It all started back in 2010, when I was a sophomore at Central High School in phoenix, Arizona. It was one of my Iraqi friends who introduced me to Facebook. He suggested to me that I create my own account since everybody is doing it in the high school we both attend. So I did what my friend told me, because I thought that way I am gonna be "cool" just like the other. I want to put a note that back in 2010, I had only completed about two years in the U.S., so I didn't really have any friends beside my Iraqi friends, because of my poor English back then. Anybody who had many friend in my high school was considered "cool", so, I thought, "wait a minute, if I can add friends from my high school, I can be cool too" And so guess who did not sleep the whole night ?

lol, why do I look like I am proud of it on this picture? It is like if I am saying "who cares, "YOLO" " 

I spent the night adding as much friends as I can, because I wanted to be "cool". The good news was, I started having people liking and commenting on my pictures. People started chatting with me, "hey, I've seen you in Central, we should hang out some time", "hey, you are cute", "Hey budd! I figured out we have the same classes together, we should talk", "hey ! can you teach me Arabic", "Teach me how to curs in Arabic". After all these messages, I felt  like I was born again. I was definitely brought back to life.  Next Monday I go to school and many people know me. I felt "cool". Starting the week after I joined Facebook, I started skipping my class assignments and instead I Facebooked . Low grades started showing on my grade report and I never bat an eye. 

However, that did not last for too long. It was about three weeks before the end of the first semester of my sophomore year and I remember I was sitting in my advisory class when my adviser called out for me, "You know that you are going to fail your classes this semester, right?" my adviser said. I remember at that time, I felt like I am lonely in a dark place and something was pressing on my chest really hard. I did not know if I should cry, or rip my clothes maybe and shout out a curs word. I never failed a class in my entire life at that point, I was so shocked that all my body was frozen.

For three days, I was not eating well, and all I was thinking about is how can I pass my classes. If you ask me about Facebook at that time, I would tell you "what is that?" Facebook was out of my mind. 

Thanks to God and to my teachers back then, they helped me to bring my grade back up. They kept in touch with me. I had to sacrifice my weekends and I did not really care, I was telling myself I deserve it. By the end of the semester I managed to pass my classes. I would consider myself lucky, because not all teachers would've done the same.  

By the beginning of the fall break of 2010, I started Facebooking again; However, I tried to the time I am on it.

Up till now, Facebook been part of my life. Through it, I feel like I am connected to the world. 

Right now I have Facebook on my smart phone, and whenever I am free, I get on it. Sometimes I take peeks when I am doing my homework. 

I am to that point where I automatically take out my phone and view Facebook. 

I am practicing on eliminating that habit.

So this is my Facebook Addiction story, and again, I am pretty sure some of you guys can relate to this story. 

Please be safe.

Blog exploring 

Hello World ! I hope you are all doing well. For my second blog, I was exploring other people's blog's. I really wanted to have a feel of what blogs are and what you really can do with them. I was not disappointed. It is look like you can post anything in there weather it is an opinion you want to share, a fact or something personal. I believe all the people I explored their blogs are so creative with their topics, weather I liked their topic or not. Not all blogs seem interesting to me. The reason for that is because, and many of you will agree with me, we like to read or hear about what we is interesting to us. For example, I am a guy who do not like politics, I would not want to read about it, because I do not understand it. What I mean by that is, I don't understand its language, vocabulary, humor. Weather it was in English or Arabic which is my own language,  no matter how much you try to explain political stuff for me, I would not understand. One of the blogs was trying to mix occupying wall street with the Superbowl, I was reading through the whole article without having any clue about what is the author's purpose on that blog. However, I found some blogs absolutely interesting. Since I am a video gamer, I would love to read anything that has to do with video games. Luckily, today I saw a guy who posted in his blog a video about a game called Skyrim and I am pretty sure many video gamers know about this game. So they are using a virtual reality machine, to play the game as if you are inside the world. I really want you to have a look at it. It is just so amazing where we have gotten with out technology(specially when involving video games :) )



So I really want to see what you guys think of this. Specially my gamers, isn't it great?
I found other videos using this machine to test other games.

So I will let you watch the video and I hope you learned a little more about me from this blog.
Be safe.
