NOISE: Freestyle

Are you positive?

I noticed the other day that on the side of my social media account there are advertisements for things I talk about frequently, like photography. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, take a look at the column on the right hand side of facebook the next time you’re logged on. Upon further investigation, I found that companies are able to show you ads based on key words that you type on to yours or anyone’s page. This brings up two things to me first. Who has the right to monitor my page that close? The people that have the ability to monitor are people who are monitoring now... Hi! 


The second is being positive. I wonder what someone's page looks like that may be constantly typing negative or confrontational comments? I have found that being surrounded by negative things typically will have a very negative effect on you. And in the same respect, being surrounded by positive and fun things will typically have that same positive and fun effect on you.

Why is this so important? Well, because if we really want tomorrow to be a better day we need to take a look at what we are doing today.
Tomorrow will your account have tons of positive uplifting ads on the side or will they be doom and gloom? I’m looking forward to all of the exciting fun and wonderful things and people that will come my way today! What fun and exciting things are you looking forward to?

Its common knowledge.

                                   

Common Ground is a way for people of Michigan to come together and hear and see amazing acts, buy beautiful mementos, and be around other people who enjoy Michigan and all it has to offer. Not to mention they get to enjoy our incredible city! 


This year will not disappoint. The acts coming to the stage are only rivaled by the excitement and happiness in the crowed! 


Starting Monday the 11th and going till Sunday the 17th, this is going to be a cornucopia of sights, sounds and tastes!

So whatever you do don't miss this once a year event. Give yourself something to smile about on those cold January mornings when reflecting on the warmth and happiness of summer is all you have.

HAPPY 4TH

July fourth is a date that reminds people of freedom of independence but it is also now synonymous with fun and happiness. It is a day to reflect but also a day to celebrate. Some of my greatest memories are of looking at the beautiful bright streaming lights full of color falling from the sky. Feeling the booms from them exploding in air and the tug on my heart as bands played along to the light show. But most of all having a good time with my friends and family.

Knowing that there are men and women out there that gave their all so that I could not only enjoy that day but have the freedom to enjoy my life is very moving to me.


This year I will enjoy what Lansing has to offer again while alongside my friends and family. First we will ooh and ah over the fireworks after watching a great game between The Lugnuts and The Lake County Captains on the third. Then it will be time to get some sleep so that I can wake up early and get downtown for a really great parade starting at eleven am. 

To top off the weekend of great games and fireworks will be another beautiful fireworks display. Not only will Lansing be doing theirs but so will Cooley Stadium and Sharp Park.


It's going to be a great time! Hope to see you there!
