My name is Mimz. Ok, that's not my real name, but it's a nickname. I'm a freshman at a public school in Ohio. School is easy for me, and I think that the way it's taught is ridiculous. It's overrun with stupid liberal teaching methods that I can't stand. In this blog, I share with you what it's like to be a teenager in a public school and be a little different from everyone else.
By that, I mean that most other kids in school don't give any of this a second thought. They think that school is boring, and my opinion is the exact opposite of theirs quite often. They want to screw around and play games in class, while I actually want to learn.
I decided to start this blog for two reasons. First of all, I felt like breaking the teenage stereotype a bit by showing you that sometimes, we teens do think for real. About things other than guys, clothes, and makeup. Second, I spend most of my time in the internet as is so I thought that blogging would be a great way to utilize what I know about the internet. Namely, Web 2.0. For some reason, I find that very interesting. My blogroll testifies to that.
However, I do have other interests. I love to read and take walks. Also, I like listening to music and I play flute and piano. I'm in the school band. I also love to dance, though I hate the ballet classes I take. At school, I enjoy the social aspects of it as well as my more interesting classes (namely, drawing, biology, history, and band).
So that's it about me. Enjoy the blog, and please consider leaving me a comment or two.
This post, however off-topic it may be, is about Internet freedom. \”Network Neutrality\” — the First Amendment of the Internet — ensures that the public can view the smallest blog just as easily as the largest corporate Web site by preventing Internet companies like AT&T from rigging the playing field for only the highest-paying sites.
But Internet providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast are spending millions of dollars lobbying Congress to gut Net Neutrality. If Congress doesn\’t take action now to implement meaningful Net Neutrality provisions, the future of the Internet is at risk.
In the end game, only large companies will afford domains if the communications monopolies have their way with this. This of course isnt new news, but its coming to a head and blogs like this one will be a ghosttown unless all of us figure it our pretty darn quick. I wont post any links, but advise that if you value the internet, and blogs likw this one, that you search Google for \”Network Neutrality\” and educate yourself on this issue as it effects all of us.
